Liberia partnershipAt Troy first, we are grateful for our partnership in Monrovia, Liberia. We support our partner church Monrovia First, the Judith Craig Orphanage by helping provide food and proper facilities, and the Siyfa Keh-Town School by stocking their library shelves. This connection reminds us of our calling to serve our God-given neighbors both near and far, sharing the love of Christ across the world.
