Leone, where he was born and
graduated from high school.
He _received his License to
Preach in the Sierra Leone
United Methodist Conference
and then became probationary
member and full member of
the Detroit Conference. Allie is

Conference on many boards
and agencies and is currently

humility and · gratitude, I
accept the privilege and challenge in my ongoing commitment to Christ and service to
humanity. From an early age in
my home village in Sierra
Leone, Africa, long before I
heard the word 'faith' in the
English language in a church, I
was taught that everything is in
God's hand. In an environment where people live by and
with nature - growing their
own crops, depending on the
sun, rain, air, etc. which are
gifts o(God - one cannot help
but believe that life and its
ingredients and supporting
agents are in the hand-of God.
That is, God controls everything and He is in charge of all
things. He created the world
and H e is still in control of all
creative and redemptive activities and processes. And God is
good to one and all; everything
He does is suffused with
grace."
Allie has three children
Gbonu Gladys (Gigi), Adulai
Jessie and Nyahaleh Amelia.
For recreation and renewal
Allie enjoys playing Scrabble,
walking and traveling.
