About: On Dec. 24, 2009 Pastor Fred Fowler traveled to Monrovia, Liberia, Africa to visit Pioneer Baptist Church missionary Pastor Solomon Joah and serve as the main speaker at the National Conference. The Pioneer Baptist Church has been proud and blessed to support Joah's ministry for the last 15 years. Despite the thousands of miles that separate our church from Joah's Refuge Baptist Church in Liberia, we are close in spirit and in doctrine. Led by Joah, who is a native of Africa, Refuge Baptist is an independent fundamental Baptist church that strives to share the gospel, believe and follow the Bible, and contend for the faith. Pastor Fowler was asked by Joah to speak at the conference on a variety of topics including: the charismatic movement, new-evangelicalism, and the fundamentals of the Bible. Pastor Fowler was in Africa from Dec. 24 to Jan. 8 and preached 13 sermons to crowds as large as 700 (crowds were composed of members of regional churches and local visitors). Biblical truths were preached, decisions for Christ were made, and God was glorified.
