The Paragons Foundation–Sierra Leone successfully convened its 7th Annual Summit at the Malachy Motel in Moyamba. The event commenced with a keynote address by Mr. Joseph Gbogba, followed by speeches from Mr. James Foh, representing the Former United Methodist Young Adults (FUMYA), and Rev. Michael Columba, Regional District Superintendent.
As a registered non-governmental organization (NGO) composed of members from the United Methodist Church’s Youth and Young Adults Organizations, the Paragons Foundation has played a crucial role in mentoring young leaders, supporting smaller congregational churches, and fostering community development since its inception.
This year’s summit was particularly notable as it coincided with an election year for the organization. The foundation welcomed its new Chief, Chief Paragon Aloysius B. Moisia, and Deputy Chief, Martha Kpaka Williams. Their leadership marks a new chapter of growth, service, and outreach as they guide the foundation toward greater impact.
The summit also featured the induction of five new members, who took the oath of admittance, officially joining the Paragons family. The event culminated in a Thanksgiving Service at the Trinity United Methodist Church in Moyamba, concluding on Sunday with a vibrant Praise Service, centered on the theme “A Charge to Keep.” The sermon was delivered by Rev. Emmerson Laggah, Regional Superintendent (South), who emphasized the foundation’s commitment to faithful service, responsibility, and devotion to its mission.
In line with its philanthropic efforts, the foundation contributed to the Trinity Church Moyamba and a small church in the remote community of Mokerewa, reinforcing their ministries and outreach initiatives.
