August/September Newsletter, 113 Students had registered and started classes on September 11.
A little over 2 months ago I sent a letter asking you for your assistance to make it possible for us to have more students in our Bible Institute. We asked you to provide a 1-year scholarship for their tuition. I had no idea how you would respond or how many would surrender their lives to the Lord for His work. I began praying for 100 students.
On September 8th, we had 93 students that registered and attended the Orientation Day. When we started classes on the 11th, we had registered 113 students. What is so amazing is your response. With what has come in already financially and what will come in this month that I know about, we will have enough funds to give each one a complete scholarship for 1 year.
Thank you so much for what you have done. Diane and I are so blessed to be able to partner with such wonderful people. We love and appreciate each and every one of you.
As a result of so many responding to God’s leadership, we started a branch campus in Waterloo, about 1 hour from Freetown. All of the students enrolled in our Institute are active members in one of our churches.
I can’t help but think about how bright our future is as a result of your sacrifices.
Next month I have 2 gentlemen coming to put up the wall around the property we purchased for our future campus. They will be spending a month with us to do their construction project. Once that part is complete, we will be able to begin our buildings.
Please pray for them and pray for the funds to see this dream come true. Thanks to all of you for making it possible for us to be in this great harvest field.

In Christ,
Mike & Diane

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.
