Hello Praying Friend,

 Greetings from Freetown, Sierra Leone (West Africa). The month of February has been an exciting one for all girls in training at the Skills Vocational school. All departments (Tailoring, Hairdressing, Catering, Adult Literacy,  Arts and Crafts) embraced the girls in an intensive learning mood. Spiritual, social and moral TRANSFORMATION continues to have an immense impact on all of them. The saying goes “An idle mind is the devil’s workshop”. This statement is fastly fading out in the lives of the girls,  who mostly come from unfortunate backgrounds of low moral standards. They are all becoming women and girls of SUBSTANCE, DIGNITY, VALUE and WORTH (Virtues women are missing in Africa). THANK God for the industrious work of my wife and Proprietress, Mr Viola Adama Fornah. She carries a strong PASSION for Sierra Leone-an girls.

 The climax of the month brings happiness and joy to all girls in training and teachers. Each received a gift of shoe box (including assorted things such as pens, toys, shoes, books, pencils and other items). Most of the girls are single parents. This gift is coming at a time when most are finding it very hard to cater for their children in school.  Each (including teachers) also received BIBLES specifically designed for children at all levels. It has pictures with stories on the entire bible.  These bibles are serving as a means of EVANGELISM and is currently ushering in spiritual transformation in the lives of the girls and their homes. Praise God!

 PRAYER HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Pray for an increase spiritual growth and love for God in all of the girls. God is doing something new.

2. That the Lord would provide the needed funds to build a permanent school for the girls. Present rent expires in April. A much more bigger accommodation and space is needed. The Land is already available.

3. Pray that the Lord would provide scholarship to help all of the girls in training. It is quite difficult for many of them to get all needed materials.

4. That the Lord would provide funding to get additional equipment, such as sewing machines, catering equipment, etc.
