Carol and Glen Hallead, PCUSA mission co-workers   

Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church brought the Halleads under care in 2003. (Glen was introduced to us by his childhood friend, Steve McConnell.) The Halleads live and serve in Accra, Ghana with the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), the Evangelical Presbyterian Church, Ghana and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. They serve in team ministry as coordinators for the Young Adult Volunteers, Ghana program and are responsible for the training, placement, and pastoral care of short-term missionaries working with the two partner denominations.  Glen also serves as the Presbyterian Church (USA) West Africa Regional Liaison helping to coordinate congregational, presbytery, and denominational relationships with Presbyterian partners in Ghana, Niger, and Nigeria
