With the eventual swearing-in-ceremony of Dr. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf on Monday March 16 2006, shall we not praise the Lord for the peace and victory of the Liberian people?

elifeonline.com, in our policy to report on Christianity in Africa to our readers, is embarking on a Media-missionary Tour to Liberia to assess the state of Christianity in the pioneer independent African country.

Aims and Objective of the Media-Missionary Tour
1. Assess and report the level of Christian education in the country
2. Assess and report the spiritual and physical states of the church in Liberia.
3. Assess and report the availability of Christian books especially those written by Africans because of the peculiarity of the African experience.
4. Assess and report how churches in Africa could expand their missionary tentacles to the country.
5. Interview the new Liberian President, Dr. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf on how Christians in Africa could help.
6. Interview the ex-international football star, George Opon-Weah, Church leaders, opinion leaders and journalists on what lesson other African countries could draw from the Liberian experience.
7. To assess business opportunities in the country.

Send in your questions for the new President, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf.
