The Lott Carey Legacy Mission Emersion Pilgrimage to Africa is scheduled for February 1-11, 2022. The group will also visit Ghana, a cultural icon with about 950 miles between the capitals.
While in Liberia, Africa’s oldest republic, missionaries will visit the Lott Carey Mission School, experience the culture of Africa’s oldest republic, founded by free Blacks in 1847 and worship at Providence Baptist Church in Monrovia. Providence was established by Rev. Lott Carey in Richmond, Va., in 1821 and transplanted to Liberia in 1822, making it the oldest Baptist church in the country. It is also the home church of Rev. Emmett L. Dunn, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of Lott Carey, who was born in Liberia.
