George Liele Missions Breakfast

This year’s program will feature a powerful video presentation on the history of George Liele, along with presentations spotlighting two mission teams:

The Africa Partnership, led by Pastor Ricky Wilson

Ricky Wilson, originally from Coatesville, Pennsylvania, experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ at the age of nine. This encounter led him to embark on a journey to discover God’s purpose for his life, ultimately answering the call to preach the gospel. He pursued theological education at Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, Texas, where he earned a Master of Theology degree in Pastoral Leadership. Additionally, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration from Cheyney State University.

Ricky Wilson, together with his wife, children, and a dedicated group of believers, planted Christian Faith Fellowship, a church located in Chester County, Pennsylvania. Ricky serves as the Senior Pastor of the church, guiding and shepherding the congregation.

Pastor Wilson currently serves as an International Missions Board Trustee for the Southern Baptist Convention.

Recently, he founded Africa Partnership with a clear vision to strengthen local churches across the African continent through education, evangelism, edification, and economic development. Africa Partnership is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has been working in Africa for over 22 years in 14 countries focused on providing support for local churches and leaders. Africa Partnership strengthens local churches, empowers leaders, and plants new congregations through training, discipleship, and resource support.

Pastor Wilson and his beloved wife, Shirley, are the proud parents of two sons, Philip Jordan and the late Michael Jonathan. Their family stands as a testament to their love, faith, and dedication to their calling in ministry.

Essential Piece Ministries International (EPMI),
led by Pastor and Sis Keiffer and Martha Bent

In 2000, Essential Piece Ministries International was founded by Keiffer and Martha Bent. EPMI grew out of a love of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ. We observed an urgency for the gospel. The need continues to grow worldwide.

We now serve locally and internationally as short-term missionaries.  Our first mission trip as a family was to Antigua.  After returning we continued to work in full-time ministry in Maryland. Our focus is to share the gospel, to train and equip through evangelism, discipleship and training.

From 2006 to present, EPMI has served locally and internationally. We are Mission focused (Mathew 28:19-20).  We are thankful for the opportunities we have had to share the gospel, give bibles, evangelistic booklets and pamphlets, leading Bible studies and mobilizing the church.  In North America, India, Taiwan, China, Philippines, South African and Central Africa, We want people to know, and experience Jesus, as Lord and Savior through: Evangelism, Discipleship Training.

Currently, we are focused on expanding our outreach work on a broader scale. One of the specific goals is to help pastors, and lay leaders internationally to be more equipped. If they are more equipped, they can better share the gospel effectively, teach their families, and congregation. They can better develop disciples in their local areas. Additionally, we will expand our work in Evangelism and training in more countries. Additionally, adding English as a Second Language (ESL) ministry, hosting  Bibles studies, and discipleship training locally and globally.

We trust the Lord and all the needed resources:  working under the power of the Holy Spirit, prayer, God’s labors, and financial support. In order for the ministry to continue to thrive and grow. There is an urgent need for the gospel to be proclaimed. (John 3:16).
