Dear Church, Here is an update from our missionary in Sierra Leone.
His house is nearly done as you can see. Most of it because of the generosity of you folks!
This house will be able to host missionary teams from all over including the US.
Michael's house is within walking distance of the US embassy, providing safety in a chaotic country.
We are hoping to send teams in the near future to help serve in the poorest country in the world.
John Gunden Pastor of the Riversedge
MINISTRY REPORT FOR MAY 2008
My Dearest Partner in ministry in Africa.
We greet you well, hoping that you area doing well in the Lord.
We are doing fine, getting busier more than ever before. Ministry opportunities are increasing and we are making the most of it. Through the radio program at the two radio stations we are having more Pastors joining us to learn God's word. The amazing thing in this all is the decision they have made to stop what they were doing (i.e. Pastoring etc) to come and learn and be more prepared through the study of God's word so that they will do a better job behind the pulpit. Only God through His infallible could do this. Church attendance is increasing as well. We now have an average of 100 adults come to church every Sunday. The church and people outside of our church are still receiving the 'WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL', and are going through the bible with us within a year, and are studying bible doctrine through every week as well. Our ministry in Liberia with Liberia YFC is growing gradually. We are still getting our coordinator ready for more ministry work. We have been having some training for the youths in that Nation, with the potential to do effective outreach in the Prisons. Our house building project is coming up well. There is already a roof on the house, but the challenge is enormous with the finishing of it, because the prizes for the building items have tripled and we are now stocked financially.
What we have done in this report is to send you some pictures of:
1. the church's congregation that we started and Pastor.
2. The YFC youth training in Liberia
3. The house building project.
We will definitely send you some more pictures when space permits us. We will also send you a report on our involvement in a seminary program and your support have allowed us to be a part of. ? Thank you ever so much for your unending support to us. Thank you for praying and giving. God is your sure reward. ? We will continue to pray for you as we ask that you do the same for us. Thank you once again. In Him,
Michael Turay
