“The success of last year gives us the potential of having the pastors needed for a greater outreach of the Gospel.”
​
During the month of May our average Sunday Morning attendance in the 29 churches that reported to us was 2696 with 162 that made profession of faith in Christ. I had a special service in Konta Line where we baptized 56 people. The last Sunday in May, I baptized 28 in our provincial church in Mabanta. In addition to those following the Lord in baptism, I baptized 16 from 3 of our churches in Freetown. There are 353 that are being discipled in the churches.
The first week of June the college students completed their final exams and are enjoying the summer break. The new academic year begins August 1st.
Last year with your gifts we were able to matriculate 114 students. We are estimating a minimum enrollment of 150 students, We are keeping the tuition for the year at $130.00 per student. I am asking that you help us again this year. The success of last year gives us the potential of having the pastors needed for a greater outreach of the Gospel.
I am praying that God will bless you as you consider helping us with this need. Last year we had no idea how many students would respond, nor how much would be given. The number of students and the amount given were almost the same.
Please remember both Diane and myself in prayer

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.
