“...the Institute property has been paid in full because of your response. ”
I am thrilled to report to you that the Institute property has been paid in full because of your response. I am grateful to our Lord and to our faithful partners in providing $35,000.00 for this project. It is a beautiful two-acre parcel of ground overlooking the water and walking distance of the Rawlings Foundation camp. In fact, you can see the camp from the site.
We have built a metal security building for protection of the property and an attached storage unit for building materials. Our next step is clearing the land and begin the process of putting up a wall. While we are doing that we will develop the site plan for the campus and the other buildings that will be placed on the land.
Our first structure will be our Administrative building, housing our college administration, faculty, and ministry staff. Our goal is to have one team, putting all of its resources into one goal of “capturing Sierra for Christ and impacting West Africa’. We hope to begin construction of this building by late September and complete it by March.
We definitely need your prayers and financial help. Our goal is to have the basic facilities....dorms for 100 students, classrooms, a library and computer classroom...operational in 3 years. At the same time, we want to continue to expand our evangelism and church planting efforts.
Last month, with a special Easter outreach, the 25 churches averaged 3,543 on Sunday morning with 327 accepting Christ as Saviour.
Diane and I are so blessed to be involved in such a rich harvest field with some of the greatest partners.
In Christ,
Mike and Diane

As you may know, the Rawlings Foundation has invested in Youth camps in countries around the world and one of those countries is Sierra Leone. My Son-in-law and daughter are privileged to represent the Rawlings Foundation by overseeing the camp. The camp is located on 42 acres of beach-front property. The Foundation is in the process of developing the camp and have already completed a pavilion, kitchen, dug a well, and have a good start on landscaping the property.
Youth Camp with over 500 Senior High from Muslim School hearing about and singing about Jesus
​
​
Although the camp has not been completed, it has already hosted thousands of young people with thousands of young people being saved. Though Sierra Leone is a predominately Muslim country, the camp has already proven itself to be a bridge in reaching the Muslim young people of this country.
​
Two weeks ago an Islamic high school came to the camp with 543 students in attendance. Out of that number, 378 accepted Christ along with the Principal, the Vice Principal, and
6 of the teachers. We are so excited about the future of this ministry.
