New home for WMF Sierra Leone
October 28, 2009I’m excited to share some news about a wonderful opportunity for Word Made Flesh of Sierra Leone. As many of you know – Ryan and I spent 4 months with this ministry last year in SL and the original purpose of this blog was to share updates and process experiences of our time there.
One of the challenges of our time there was not having a central ‘headquarters’ so to speak. We tutored kids in one location, had Lighthouse meetings in another, staff meetings in yet another, and small group meetings in various locations. Even though WMF has had a presence in SL for almost 7 years, they have been – well, a bit nomadic… moving from place to place.
They have recently found an *amazing* (well, I think so!) possibility for their new ‘home’. It is located near Kroo Bay and is huge! They also say it is quite the steal (as far as price goes). It’s really hard to explain why this ‘home’ would be so beneficial and wonderful for the staff and children there – that’s why I encourage you to read about it here from the staff themselves (there’s also pictures!).
If you get excited about this too – please pray about this opportunity for them. They have big dreams for this place and I believe God can use the ‘home’ in the lives of a lot of children/teens that need a safe place. And if you feel led to give towards the purchase of this ‘home’, follow the directions at the end of this post.
