Danny gave the evening Keynote Address to open the week long camp. He encouraged the youth to press into God as they are the future leaders of the church and the future leaders of Sierra Leone. They were very excited, at the end he gave an invitation to anyone present who did not know Jesus in a personal way to come forward. One adult man, one teenage youth and a couple of children came forward to give their hearts to Jesus. Praise the name of Jesus!
Pastor Sowa in the photo praying for some of the youth on day 2 of our Jesus Film Festival at the Bo Police Barraks, do you notice in his hand many sheets of paper? We asked all the people who came forward to give their lives to Jesus the first day to write down there names and addresses on paper and bring it back on the second day, I was so suprized at the positive responce. Also the 2 children in the forground are holding gospel tracts, we handed out 100,s during the 2 day festival and the people were excited to get them, we didn't even see 1 left discarded on the field the next day.
along with a 3 D cell Mag-Lite flashlight, or as they say here torchlight. We just make do with what
100's of people attended the 2 night Jesus Film Festival in Gerihun, Sierra Leone this week.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, I say pictures do not do justice to the real life adventure. This bridge has about a one story drop to the stream below. It was solid, but not wide enough for my comfort. We crossed it 4 times in the couple day trip to the village.
This village is 32 miles from our house in Bo#2. It took close to 2 hours to drive there. 1st and 2nd gear all the way. The last 2 miles were a drive with one set of tires on the foot path and the others in the bush. No cell phone service out here, no electricity, no modern conveniences of any kind. We were told most of the poeple who live in this village have never seen a white man. They were very excited and honored that we would stay over night with them. They made us delicious sauces and served it with their native rice which is reddish purple and white. 
There was no way to tell how many came to the film, but they came from surrounding villages too. It was a great time for Danny and I.
Our prayer is we will see lots of people from Sierra Leone villages in heaven!
It is has some moves like checkers and some moves like chess. I could not figure it out and soon it was time for the set up for the film to start, maybe next time.
Three days of teaching, fellowship, and Praising God. We had a great time with the ladies. It was a time of refreshing and encouragement for the wives. God Bless all the pastor's wives as they have a tough job. Front center, pink dress is Rev Cornelia from Evangel Bible College in Freetown. She was the guest preacher each night at the revival services. I (Cindy) especially enjoyed matching all the other ladies. This was their second conference, they are held every 2 years at a different city in the South/Kenema District of the Assemblies of God in Sierra Leone.
I was privileged to pray after the message with those who made a decision to recieve Jesus Christ as Lord & Savior.
