Hope is like currency. We can invest hope and watch it multiply with interest for future generations, or we can run a hope deficit that future generations will have to pay. Liberia is paying today for the sins of her fathers. Indeed, she is paying for sins that reach as far back as the American slave trade. Hope, or the lack of it, works that way, too. A generation can learn to be hopeful from the generation before it, or it can also lose hope because of the previous generation. This is the reason people like Dr. Olu Menjay are so important to Liberia. He inspires, teaches, energizes, and encourages today’s Liberian youth. He builds tomorrow’s leaders. He works to convince them that their generation doesn’t have to be like the generation before them. Without people like Dr. Menjay returning to his native land to tell the children that all things are possible through Christ who gives them strength, who is going to hope Liberia? Dr. Menjay has inspired me. I believe strongly in what he is doing. I believe one person can make a difference in the world. I have seen firsthand that Dr. Olu Menjay makes a difference in Liberia. He is not alone. Many choose to join hands with him to raise a new generation of leaders for Liberia. All who join hands with Ricks Institute receive as much blessing, if not more, than those at Ricks. We discover the truth of Acts 20:35: “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (NIV).
