Vol 1 / Edition 1 - June / August 2004

Dear Friends of C3 MSL ,

Greetings to all in Jesus' name!

We praise God as we finally experience some sense of national unity in Sierra Leone . God is indeed at work in out nation. He is dawn in this Land, and opportunity to work much harder for the Lord, for the night comes when no man can work.

We see peace and freedom of movement in Sierra Leone as an opportunity for us to reach out through out the land making discipleship for Christ. Thank you for joining us in this awesome task.

POINTERS FOR PRAISE

  • To God for his continues favours and blessings in expanding ministry in such a short time.
  • To all our friends expecially in the UK for their continuous prayers and financial support.
  • For the progressive work in Kono. The tree Churches are growing rapidly through the favour of God. He is strengthening Pastor James McCarthy and his wife Sarah and the team of faithfully Pastor and volunteers serving in the Kono ministry.
  • For the St. Andrew Community Church Meima Project. The gracious support from our kind friends in St. Andrews Oxford. The Church has been transformed from a small mud shack building with leaky tarpaulin to a large concrete hall. Which would now be able to hold about three hundred worshippers and be use as a primary school, starting with about two hundred children. All the building needs now is the furnishings for the church and school, and this by God's grace is expected to be completed latest August 2004. The project has brought joy to the entire town as many coming offering to bring their children to the school. Unfortunately, the school will not hold all of the them as we will have to make difficult choices. We have put in place a management Team for the operation of the school comprising leaders of the community, the school head Master, the project leader and the Pastor of the Church. The opening of the building is expected in September but official opening will take place during our national convention in November this year.
