The Mission America Coalition (MAC) is an unprecedented Coalition of Christian leaders who have prayerfully come together to mobilize the Church for praying, caring and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in deed and word.
Since its inception, leaders from 81 denominations, over 350 ministries and dozens of ministry networks have been involved in the Coalition. MAC calls for active participation in The Great Commission of Jesus Christ to “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19) and our Lord’s Great Commandment to “Love the Lord your God . . . and love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37, 39). “The Whole Church taking the Whole Gospel to the Whole Nation – and to the World!”

Rosie and I had the privilege of traveling and sharing with the Christian community in Liberia, Africa November 13-22, 2009. We were in the city of Monrovia with a population of 500,000. The whole country has been devastated by 14 years of Tribal War. They now have a new President, who is also a born again Christian and a Harvard graduate, working to build infrastructure in a totally destroyed situation. While there, we had the opportunity to speak 15 different times during the Reconciliation and Bridge-Building Conference, at churches, with governmental groups, universities, elementary and high schools, etc…
Here is an update from Liberia concerning the ministry of Dr and Mrs Weary from George Festus Blamoh,National Coordinator/Projector Director. Photo are below.

The students at Corban were not only attentive to the words Dolphus Weary had to say at his visit to the campus February 4th-6th but, they also fell into admiration with the person that he is.
“Dolphus brought with him a vibe that automatically makes you like him,” said Marcie Smith. “When you first meet him, you like him and once he starts talking, you like him even more.”
In his book, “I Ain’t Coming Back,” Weary talks about his childhood of and his experiences growing up as an African American child in Mississippi—how he was treated with the same level of respect as a doormat.

Dolphus Weary had every reason to be a statistic. He carried most of the baggage necessary to qualify for the ¨children at risk¨ label. He was poor. He was African American. He spent most of his childhood in a single parent household. During the ¨Jim Crow¨ era of Mississippi´s tainted past, great ambitions in the heart of a young man of color were not encouraged or desired. As an understandably angry teenager, he boarded a bus bound for California in 1967. A basketball scholarship to Los Angeles Bible College had afforded him this unusual opportunity, and it would be his ticket out. The one thing he knew without question was that he was never coming back to Mississippi.

From a college basketball standout to a racial reconciliation activist, Dr. Dolphus Weary is a veteran among African American pro-family leaders.
He serves as executive director of Mission Mississippi – a statewide unity initiative designed “to build relationships and to call persons of all races and denominational backgrounds to reconciliation.”
A renowned speaker and writer, Weary knows from personal experience just how harmful racial divisions can be to a person’s well-being. After being deserted by his father and left to live a life of poverty, Weary longed to attend a Christian liberal arts college. Unfortunately, he could not find one that accepted African-American students.
Taylor University: The New Year has begun and we are off to a great start! Dolphus and Rosie traveled to Taylor University (Upland, IN) in January, where he was the guest speaker for the MLK Day Services during Chapel as well presenting a workshop. Dolphus also spoke the Sunday morning prior to that time, at Upland Community Church’s morning worship services. I’ve attached a few pictures while they were in Indiana…
