You may wonder how the various board members became affiliated with Dignity:Liberia. The connection to Liberia goes back a long way. On a recent trip we dedicated a memorial wall and held a small memorial service for several people who have inspired our volunteer work in Liberia. The location is on the Ricks Institute campus where all had served. I will write chronologically.
The Rev. Emil William “Bill” Mueller and Agnes Ann Southern Mueller, RN arrived in Liberia in 1961 as some of the first Southern Baptist missionaries to the country. They each had felt “called” to mission work since they were children. Meeting in college they found a common goal. They felt that their work was a partnership with the people and with God. Agnes felt her job that was committed to helping others was also a ministry. Bill ministered and spent many years as an administrator at Ricks. They served at Ricks and in Yekepa, departing Liberia in 1973.
