Praying Friend,

  Joy to the world, the Lord is come, let earth receive Her KING! The year is gradually coming to an end. Students and teachers in the Center for Training the Vulnerable Vocational Institute are working assiduously to end the year well. It is exam time in the school. (PRACTICAL). The various departments:( Hair dressing, sewing, catering, arts/crafts) are in top competitive spirit!. Praise the Lord for a good learning spirit:(spiritual and social)

 Students are very much ready to implement in their families and communities this Christmas season what they are have achieved in the school. The JOY and HAPPINESS of Christmas is showing on their faces. SPIRITUAL: They are receiving in depth teaching on the true meaning and essence of Christmas. Spiritual transformation continues to be evident in the lives of the students.

 As we celebrate Christmas and gradually come to the end of the year, please remember the following in your daily prayers!

 1. Pray that the Lord will provide scholarship for girls in training. Practical aspects are quite expensive, especially with a broken economy in the nation. Many find it hard to cope with the many financial demands in related departments.

 2. Pray for additional equipment for the various departments, such as sewing machines etc.

 3. We need to have a PERMANENT school building on our own. The Lord has graciously provided the piece of land for this purpose. Pray for funding in 2017 to put up a permanent school building. This would save us from enormous annual school rent.

 5. Finally, pray for provision to get CHRISTMAS food and other things for both the hard working staff and students. They are very HOPEFUL that it will happen soon!

 It is always a deep pleasure to THANK you for reading our updates, and especially for your prayers and concern. Your prayers has kept us going!. Please, feel free to make any contribution towards the school.(financial, social or moral).  You may have further advice to give. Website still under construction: www. SLVI.org.

 A MERRY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a prosperous New Year, from the entire school, to you

and yours! Thanks for restoring HOPE, DIGNITY and WORTH in many vulnerable lives.

 Please, take time to view  ATTACHED PICTURES! What a joy to hear from you.

 Yours for the Sierra Leone-an Harvest,

Hello Praying Friend,

 Trusting you had a nice thanksgiving celebration and refreshing time in His presence this past Sunday. You have been in our prayers as a family. Proverbs 31 is one of our (family) key text in the bible:(A virtuous woman).  Among many virtues stated in Proverbs 31 is the fact that a virtuous woman is industrious and hard working. As the year comes to an end, we are doing a family reflection and thanking God for seeing us through the thick and thin of ministry.  A great honor has been bestowed on my wife as a virtuous woman. She typically resembles Dorcas in the bible.

 So beautiful to see our partnership and collaboration in ministry. We both carry the gift of hospitality, and we continue to help many in need, through many means, such as skills training for the Vulnerable. My wife carries a strong passion for Sierra Leone-an girls, especially the less privileged, marginalized and drop outs in society. Out of her dream and passion we instituted CENTER FOR TRAINING THE VULNERABLE VOCATIONAL INSTITUTE as a ministry four year ago.

The school is holistic in nature (body, soul and spirit). We promote spiritual and social aspects together. This has created a tremendous impact in the lives of the girls in the school and in their respective families. My wife is fully involved in the spiritual and social training of these girls and ten teachers:(She walk the talk).

She is a fashion Designer by Profession. Her exemplary life continues to be a strong motivation to the teaching staff and girls in training. Please, we would continue to solicit your prayers for the following:

 1. Pray for strength, courage and spirit of resilience on my wife.

 2. Pray for will power to cope with her family and school responsibilities.

 3. That the Lord will provide all the needs of the school:(sewing machines, catering needs scholarship etc)

 4. Pray that God’s power of transformation will continue to be evident in the lives of the girls.

 5. Pray for a permanent school building. The land is already available. We are trusting God to provide the funds.

  THANKS for taking time to pray for our needs. Please, find attached pictures of my wife sewing,  and burning the candle on both ends. There is a pending wedding on the 3rd December, 2016. She was specifically asked to do nine dresses for Brides Maids and Maid of Honor. She is completing this good work.

 Would be so grateful to hear from you. Wishing you and yours a blessed week. Also wishing you 2 Timothy 4:18“THE LORD WILL PRESERVE YOU FOR HIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM” Please, keep in touch.

 See picture attached!

 Yours for the Sierra Leone-an  Harvest,

 Rev Warren and Adama Viola Fornah

 Grace, Peace and Love to you!. I cant wait to share with you the positive outcome, result and transformation coming out from the Skills Vocational School for Vulnerable Girls. Mary graduated on the 29th October as the best student in the catering department. She comes from a very poor backgrou nd, and was considered a drop out because she was not opportune to go to school. She is married, but family going through a difficult life.

 Her life is now transformed (spiritually, socially and morally). She is now asked by some charitable groups to cater for them,  and even do baking and decoration for them. Her WORTH, DIGNITY and VALUE as a poor Sierra Leone-an woman is getting restored everyday. She can now help her husband in the affairs of the home. Her entire family now respects her. She is now self employed.  It pays to be resilient in all we do in life.

 All recent graduates from the school also have doors of opportunity before them. Confidence, hope and authority has been restored in them. THANKS so much for your prayers and concern to see this happen. We would continue to solicit your prayers and support in whatever way to see the vision of the school going. We do have needs and challenges.  She is now one of my wife’s faithful disciple.  Our God is GOOD!

 My wife and I will like to bless and encourage your heart with a THANKSGIVING SCRIPTURE. We know that thanksgiving day is right round the corners:

 “Let them give thanks to the LORD for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for mankind, for He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.”
Psalm 107:8-9
