Brother Gbendah and his wife, Bendu, both natives of Liberia, joined CanAmera in 2010. Brother Gbendah grew up in a Christian home and trusted Christ as his personal Saviour in 1978 at a youth camp. Growing up, He sensed the calling of God upon his life to serve Him as a missionary. In December of 1990, he fled the ravages of the deadly civil war in Liberia and moved to the Ivory Coast where he served as a pastor of an Independent Baptist Church. In 1998, the Lord brought the Gbendah's to the United States where he attended and graduated from Crown College in Tennessee. After graduating, they returned to Liberia and have been serving in the ministry as a pastor and missionary. 

He currently pastors Calvary Baptist Bible Church in Liberia and he was one of the key people in the establishment of the Independent Baptist Bible College where he teaches and trains nationals. He also established the Temple Baptist Church planting ministry where he focuses on recruiting Bible college students that are called into the ministry and assist them in starting churches in the fifteen countries of Liberia.
