The Pepers' Report from Sierra Leone

Our 11th church, located in the village of Mabantu, was started two months ago by the pastor of one of our other churches. There was no church of any kind in this villaage and only five Muslims. The first service was attended by 182 people and they have averaged over 130 every Sunday since they began. I had the privilege of preaching in this church two weeks ago and we had 32 people make a profession of faith. After the service the church people walked approximately 5 miles to the river where we conducted their first baptism. Exactly 100 people were baptized and everyone went home rejoicing over what the Lord is doing in their village.
Last week we held a two-day revival in conjunction with the starting of our 12th church. In the two nights we had 114 professions of faith and on Sunday there were 60 in attendance and an additional 11 were saved. Thank you for your prayers for us and for the great opportunity here in Sierra Leone.
We are so grateful for your faithfulness.
In Christ,
Mike & Diane Peper
P.S. We still have need of $400.00 for the temporary building for the church in Bo. The rains have started and there is a great urgency for this young church.
