Roland Harris – Liberia

Area Director

Roland leads Young Life in Monrovia, Liberia.

“Three words that best describe me are: humble, friendly and committed to duties.”

Roland’s faith story: “I met Jesus twenty-three years ago. I was sick and the Lord touched me by His healing power and I surrendered my life to Him from that moment on!”

Roland got involved with Young Life through Paul Kangar on Liberian Young Life staff. After hearing the vision of Young Life and being encouraged, Roland joined in ministry.

Despite many challenges, Roland has kept a positive attitude about ministry the past few years. His club had 12 kids at the beginning, but Roland is happy to say, “With the idea of double-double, the number has increased to over 70 at every club.” Roland leads a core group of 19 “Campaigner kids” who have incredible potential to be great and powerful leaders in Monrovia.
