OLNEY, MD – Bishop Darlingston G. Johnson, the presiding prelate of Harvest Intercontinental Ministries Unlimited and Senior Pastor at the Olney, Maryland Campus, has expressed his ambitious vision for his homeland, Liberia. His mission is to transform the nation through quality education, instilling an entrepreneurial spirit, and grounding it in the moral compass that faith in Christ Jesus provides.
As the Chancellor of Harvest Intercontinental American University, Bishop Johnson eagerly anticipates the university’s expansion into Liberia in 2024. This move is seen as an important step towards reversing the nation’s brain drain and tackling rampant corruption by empowering the burgeoning population of Liberian youth with quality education. Appearing on the Gracious Hope Live Podcast, Bishop Johnson unveils the character of leadership Liberians must vote for.
Bishop Johnson’s perspective on the upcoming national elections in Liberia reflects his commitment to the nation’s future. He firmly believes that Liberia needs leadership that prioritizes entrepreneurial spirit to manage the nation’s resources.
“Successive leaders have failed to uplift the nation from poverty because the rich resources of our country have not been properly managed,” says Bishop Johnson during his appearance on the Gracious Hope Live Podcast. He continues, “We need leadership that embodies faith in action, integrity, love, justice, and compassion, coupled with an entrepreneurial spirit. That is what will truly bring about change in Liberia.”
As a faith leader, Bishop Johnson encourages his fellow church leaders to pray for the aspiring political candidates in Liberia’s upcoming national elections. He urges electoral candidates to be sensitive to the needs of the people, prioritizing the public interest over personal gains.
Bishop Johnson’s vision for Liberia is a holistic one. By instilling quality education and an entrepreneurial spirit grounded in Christian values, he believes that Liberians can rise to meet future challenges with integrity, compassion, and innovation.
In addition to education and entrepreneurial initiatives, Bishop Johnson is dedicated to fostering a sense of unity and community among Liberians at home and abroad. He further emphasizes the importance of Diaspora Liberians in the nation’s development.
They carry a wealth of knowledge, experience, and resources that can be utilized to uplift Liberia through volunteerism. To facilitate this, Bishop Johnson spearheads a new university in Liberia in 2024, encouraging Liberian expatriates to invest in their homeland. He believes their investments in human capacity, combined with the skills and expertise they have gained abroad, can significantly contribute to Liberia’s growth.
Bishop Johnson’s commitment to advancing Liberia extends beyond his spiritual and educational endeavors. He is also a proactive advocate for social justice and equality, often speaking out against corruption, violence, and other societal ills that plague the country.
He said faith is about salvation and using faith to make a real, tangible difference in communities, nations, and the world. As 2024 approaches, Bishop Johnson hopes Liberia will take a decisive step towards positive change. His vision for a brighter, more prosperous Liberia is one that he believes is attainable, and he is committed to doing his part to make it a reality.
His initiatives inspire many within and outside Liberia, and his impact on the nation’s future will likely be significant.
