Church Twinning International, Incorporated Liberia

Church Twinning International (CTI) was founded in 1981 by Mr. Andrew C. Dentah and Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston and his wife, the late Mrs. Isabelle Daniels Holston, religious leaders from Georgia (USA) and Ghana, (West Africa). CTI is an ecumenical outreach ministry that “twins” congregations globally providing and opportunity to exchange communication between each congregation in an effort to support the pastor, parishioners and their respective communities. Each congregation embodies the Pauline Macedonian experience of Acts 16:9, “…come over and help us.” Upon founding CTI, a relationship was developed with the Interdenominational Theological Center (ITC) and provided seminarians with an opportunity to learn more about the twinning process. CTI has established 4 member organizations: CTI-USA, CTI-Ghana, Global Missions Partners Foundation in partnership with CTI-USA (South Africa), and CTI-Liberia.

 

CTI-Liberia was established and incorporated in 2023 after several conversations between CTI Co-Founder Emeritus Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston and Rev. Sidney W. Morris, former Executive Director of International Outreach at The Greater Piney Grove Baptist Church Atlanta, Georgia. After relocating to Liberia, West Africa, Rev. Morris sought out a church that could envision the concept of Church Twinning and after prayerful consideration a partnership was formed with the Pastor of Larkpazee Community Church, Rev. Amos Fagans. Larkpazee Community Church is the parent church of the Association of Community Churches in Liberia. Pastor Fagans serves as the National Director for CTI-Liberia and will assist with identifying churches and pastors in the region who desire to "twin" with churches in other countries. Minister Charlene S. Bowden serves as the International Director for CTI-Liberia and works in the same capacity within the U.S.A.
