GOALS MET AND MORE!
With your help we reached the goals we and
set and beyond them. Eighteen churches and individuals contributed
$6360 towards the three goals we had set for our trip.
Goal
# 1 - $1000 to underwrite the cost of the conference.
National
Superintendent, Daniel John, was grateful to receive the $ 1000 in
cash towards the cost of the conference. Over 800 pastors and
church members gathered for four days over Christmas. The schedule
for the conference ran from 8:00 am until 10:00 p.m. including
teaching, preaching, worship and challenges.
A sign of the
churches
vision of self-support was shown by them
presenting $1000 also toward the conference. Some churches
presented large amounts of rice and palm oil (staples of the
meals).
Everybody rejoiced to see representatives from 11
new churches formed during this past year.
During the last
afternoon, there was an hour of intercession for the new bicycle
evangelism teams. Seventy volunteer “bicycle evangelists”
were commissioned under the auspices of an existing church to
start an outreach in five new villages. Two pastors were assigned
to supervise and guide this ambitious project. With the Lord’s
help, that could be the birth of 350 new churches all
over Sierra
Leone. Pray for revival to break out now!

Churches
give
matching
contribution!
The
conference was held at Mathora Girls Secondary School - a boarding
institution. More than eight hundred conferees lived here for four
days. The open building is where the services were held with an
“overflow” made of a bamboo framework covered with
palm fronds.
