A year ago last Sunday we started our first church with 36 in attendance and 12 accepting Christ as Saviour. For the month of February we averaged 665 with 360 saved and 87 baptized. We now have 8 churches and they are all pastored by national pastors who receive their support from the churches they serve.
We are in the second semester of the Bible Institute and we have a Christian School that began last summer with 231 elementary students. God has truly blessed the ministry here in Sierra Leone. One of the newest churches had a special 'Outreach Sunday' and they had 182 present with 91 making profession of faith. They are presently meeting in a former night club. The property owner has been letting them conduct services rent free, but he told the church that he has sold the building.
They can continue to meet in the facility until the new owners begin remodeling it. We have located a piece of land that they can lease for five years at a total cost of $188.00. Because the rainy season is approaching, I want tolease the property and build them a covered meeting place at a cost of approximately $3,000.00. We need to do this as quickly as possible. If you can, please help us with this project. I want to thank you for your prayers and support. If it were not for God's blessings and your investment, none of this would have taken place.
We are so grateful.
In Christ,
Mike & Diane Peper
