October/November Newsletter, Our Lord called them and He supplied for each of them through You.
​
After the orientation for our Bible College in September, a few more students enrolled and a few stopped coming. When things began to settle into more of a routine, we finally ended up with 114 men and women filled with tremendous potential. Thank you again for the way you responded to the need. We had no idea how many would enroll or how much would be given. Our Lord called them and He supplied for each of them through you.
Last Thursday, I had the privilege of preaching the service for the start of our newest church in the community of Bobo. This community is located halfway between Freetown and the Rawlings Foundation Youth Camp.
There is a couple living there that has started a school for the children of that area.
This couple, Jeremiah and his wife, Priscilla, were invited last spring by the camp staff to bring their secondary school students to enjoy a day at the camp and they agreed to come. They enjoyed the activities of the camp, the great food, and most importantly the Good News of the Gospel. That day not only did many of the young people get saved, but so did Jeremiah and Priscilla.
Jeremiah and his wife began communicating with the Foundation’s “Follow Up Team”. The team is comprised of our pastors and church members, The team directed them to our staff who have been discipling them. They have been coming to the office each week for counseling, guidance, and instruction. All of this has resulted in the birth of this new church. Last Thursday night we had 114 people come to an unfurnished building that Jeremiah had secured and we saw 63 of those people come to Christ.
Jeremiah and Priscilla have enrolled in our college and they both have a deep desire to be in the ministry.
They are a wonderful and very talented couple.
Thank you for sending us to Sierra Leone. The future is very bright. You are making all
of this possible.

In Christ,

Dr. Mike Peper preaches at the first service of this new church in the community of Bobo. 114 people attended and 63 people accepted Christ.
As you may know, the Rawlings Foundation has invested in Youth camps in countries around the world and one of those countries is Sierra Leone. My Son-in-law and daughter are privileged to represent the Rawlings Foundation by overseeing the camp. The camp is located on 42 acres of beach-front property. The Foundation is in the process of developing the camp and have already completed a pavilion, kitchen, dug a well, and have a good start on landscaping the property.
Youth Camp with over 500 Senior High from Muslim School hearing about and singing about Jesus
​
​
Although the camp has not been completed, it has already hosted thousands of young people with thousands of young people being saved. Though Sierra Leone is a predominately Muslim country, the camp has already proven itself to be a bridge in reaching the Muslim young people of this country.
​
Two weeks ago an Islamic high school came to the camp with 543 students in attendance. Out of that number, 378 accepted Christ along with the Principal, the Vice Principal, and 6 of the teachers. We are so excited about the future of this ministry.
