The adage that says ‘give the man his flowers while he still lives,’ was on Saturday, February 7, 2026, manifested in the life of Rev. Paye Vincent Bagnon, Jr. as he was officially ordained and consecrated as Bishop of Faith Life Ministries International, a significant milestone in his spiritual journey that has been deeply rooted in his faith in Jesus Christ since childhood.

The Episcopal Ordination and Consecration ceremony took place in the presence of prominent dignitaries, including President Joseph N. Boakai, Vice President Jeremiah Koung, and Liberia’s Chief Justice.  Over 100 attendees, comprising worshippers, clergy, family members, and guests from the U.S. and various African nations, celebrated this historic event, highlighting the growing influence of the ministry. In his inaugural remarks, Bishop Bagnon expressed heartfelt gratitude to God and to those who traveled from New York, Connecticut, and other countries to witness his consecration. He reflected on a personal encounter with Jesus at the age of eight, which he credits as the foundation of his life and ministry.

“My life and ministry center around one person, Jesus Christ, who has been my Lord and personal Savior since I was eight years old,” Bagnon stated, emphasizing the ministry’s ongoing commitment to Christ and community service.

During his address, he shared personal trials that tested his faith, recounting moments of brokenness that deepened his reliance on Christ and clarified his vision for ministry. He paid tribute to his spiritual mentors, family, and especially his mother, acknowledging their crucial role in his journey.

Bishop Bagnon reaffirmed his dedication to uplifting young people and strengthening families through Faith Life Ministries International, which continues to expand its outreach. He praised the church’s leadership and congregation for their unwavering commitment to preserving the ministry’s message.

As the ceremony concluded with prayers and praises, Bishop Bagnon dedicated his new office to God’s glory and encouraged believers to honor Him through service, humility, and faithfulness. He expressed confidence that God would continue to guide the ministry into a future filled with greater impact.

“Hallelujah,” he declared, as the congregation joined in celebration, marking the beginning of a new chapter for Faith Life Ministries International.
