Newsletter: Mike and Diane Peper

One of the strategies instituted among our churches was that of having a monthly combined service. This program began one month after starting our first two churches here in Freetown. This has worked very successfully for the churches here in the capital, but we had not been able, until now, to expand this to the other areas where we have churches. Last Sunday we had our first combined service in Waterloo for our two churches located in that city. We had 77 present with 20 being saved. Everyone was so excited about having their own combined service.
This week the team went to the second largest city in Sierra Leone to conduct a combined service for our two churches in that location. We had 116 present with 46 saved and 25 baptized. It was a great day! For the three churches in Makeni, the third largest city, we will wait until the rainy season is finished. The distance between the churches is too far for the people to walk in the heavy rain. Those churches are doing so good. A week ago they had a total of 271 present with 49 trusting the Lord as Saviour.
In September we will begin a new church in Makeni and then in October we will begin two combined services in that area. For the last two months, I have been appealing for money for a temporary building for one of the churches. I am very thankful to report that we received the money and the building is being built. Thank you for being so faithful to this ministry and to us.
In Christ, Mike & Diane Peper
