MERRY
CHRISTMAS!
Tom and I
would like to express our deepest appreciation to each of YOU for your prayers
and support during 2017! As we always say, we could not live and serve in
Sierra Leone without the trust YOU place in us to represent YOU on the field!!
THANK YOU!
We usually
update on what we call our ‘defined’ areas of ministry, but in conversation recently
with a partner, we shared that seldom does a week go by that we are not
presented with needs that go beyond the norm. Our trust is that God will
impress upon us whether to assist, and as He does, we have full faith that our
Provider has a plan for provision!
Here are just
a few of the ways that YOU have ministered to folks these past few months
….. Nine families have received medical assistance
during the worst season of Malaria that we have ever experienced.
….. A precious
young girl in our community is attending elementary school.
….. A family in the church we attend that lost land,
home and belongings from the mudslide has been relocated.
….. We have embraced a family with a special needs
child as the father’s health has prevented him from working.
….. A young lady is attending an institute to prepare
for exams that may open the door for nursing school.
….. For 14 months, 11 families have received bags of
rice to help offset rising costs in tough economic times.
….. A young man has started the degree program in
Social Work at the Bible College.
….. We’ve assisted with funeral expenses for 2 families
who lost loved ones.
….. Textbooks and special lesson fees have been
provided for close to 40 former street boys.
….. Auntie Margaret’s kiddos are looking forward
Christmas dinner complete with chicken, soda pop, sides and sweets.
….. And … we are most certainly forgetting things …
HOSETTA SCHOOL
construction project: The rate at which the cost of building supplies continues
to rise is quite alarming, but we are certain that what God has begun, He will
bring to completion. For information on how you can help, please let us hear
from you.
May this
Christmas Season truly be an opportunity to focus on Christ, our Savior and
Lord!
Our love to
you!
Becky & Tom
… and those we serve in Sweet Salone!
