The Resident Bishop of the Liberia Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church (LAC/UMC), Samuel J. Quire, Jr., has officially dedicated the newly constructed Ken Decker Building.
The ceremony was hosted at the New Life Recovery Center in Marshall, Margibi County, marking a significant step in the rehabilitation of disadvantaged youth.
The event brought together key stakeholders and partners, including Reverend Doctor Jim White, Rev. Dr. Jackie Chandler, Kathy Justice, Rev. and Mother Anthony G. Dioh, and Mr. Jefferson B. Knight, Director of the Center.
Mr. Knight expressed profound appreciation to Rev. Dr. White and Bishop Quire for their “unwavering support to vulnerable young people.” He said, their contributions continue to restore hope, stability, and purpose in the lives of many who are battling substance abuse.
Knight also announced that six residents have successfully completed their recovery program, and are now ready to return to their communities as transformed individuals.
“We are committed to make a positive impact in our country. Through the New Life Recovery Center, we will continue to change lives and build a better future for our young people,” Mr. Knight stated.
In his keynote address, Rev. Dr. White, President of Recovery Liberia, said the Center is not only restoring lives, but advancing the mission of Jesus Christ.
“The New Life Recovery Center is transforming the lives of people, who are struggling and helping them rediscover themselves.”
White recommitted to support rehabilitation efforts in all parts of the country.
He then commended residents for their courage, honesty, and dedication throughout their recovery journey.
In emotional testimonies, several residents shared how the program has profoundly changed their lives. Many recounted their struggles with drug and alcohol abuse, often linked to peer pressure, and expressed determination to embrace a new path.
Established in 2023, the New Life Recovery Center has become a beacon of hope, restoring broken lives and impacting hundreds of disadvantaged Liberians.
Bishop Quire meanwhile, urged residents to remain steadfast in their transformation.
