Hello Partners in Ministry!!x
  Grace, Peace and Love from the beautiful nation of Sierra Leone!! Many good things continue to happen in our ministry, at both local Church, teaching, and with girls in the Skills training gInstitute. The new building continues to attract mothers baby. Their utmost desire is to be trained and equipped, like any other women in the community. They are simply saying “We cannot take NO for an answer. This is a golden opportunity we have. We cannot miss it”.
  This is just so great. It keeps my wife and motivated to go the extra mile to assist them with daily transportation to and from school. They travel by bus everyday to school with their kids in hand. All of them are in the tailoring department, and very vigorous to learn the skill of training. My wife spends adequate time in counseling and spiritual encouragement to each of the girls/women. She leads devotions with each of the departments every day. Time of singing, praising God and praying.

 PRAYER REQUEST:
  1. Because of the strong growing desire for skills training in the tailoring department, especially with mature women enrolling everyday, the acute need is there for sewing machines. Girls literally scramble everyday for the limited machines available. We want as many as twenty or more new foot peddlers sewing machines, at a cost of $250 each. This will really ease the tension we have currently. Please, pray with us for this urgent need.
 2. Pray for more spiritual transformation in the lives of the girls. Muslims have enrolled. Pray for a touch of God on their lives.
 3. Pray that the school will widely represent Christ in this Muslim community. A great mission field.
    THANKS so much for standing with us all the time, morally spiritually and financially. We continue to deeply appreciate you all. We cannot relent to always pray for you all!! Please find some timely pictures attached on my update. Please, let us know whether pictures came out clearly, explaining the update. Keep in touch.  “At the time those who feared the Lord spoke to one another.The Lord took notice and listened”(Malachi 3:16)
  Shalom!!
  Yours for the Sierra Leone-an Harvest,
  Rev Warren and Adama V. Fornah.

Saturday 23rd March marked the official dedication and graduation of the Center for Empowerment Vocational Institute (CEVVI).  It was a colorful event; seeing nineteen students from various departments (sewing,  hairdressing, catering arts and crafts) graduate with the whole spirit of SUSTAINABILITY marked on their hearts and faces. Many of their family members and friends showed up for the graduation. The new hall sits about five hundred people. The Lord surprised us, and we were able to do as much completion on the hall; even though we still have some major finishing touch to do.

 Many testimonies came out from transformed girls. One openly said in tears of joy that she has been radically transformed from stone breaking to a fully self employed (catering) lady. She is currently the bread winner of her home. Another testified of now living a life of integrity. She was known as a chief idler within her community for may years. Her new found training has radically transformed her into a virtuous lady, and now living for Jesus Christ. Praise the Lord!!

 Muslim girls are currently admitted into the school; especially vulnerable Muslim ladies.  Many graduated with Jesus Christ, and many more on the verge of doing so. (which is the major objective of the school). The beautiful graduation gowns were beautifully done by the sewing department.

    PRAYER POINTS!!
1. There is an urgent  need for more scholarship assistance; especially to Muslim girls seeking admission. This kind of assistance has a lot to say in their lives and respective families. Please, pray for God’s provision of funds to assist many. We don’t want them to drop out of the school program.

2. . Pray for self employment/ other employments for students who graduated.
3.  That Jesus will continue to work in their lives.
4,   Pray for the spirit of resilience and determination on all continuing students.

  THANKS once more for all your prayers and support.  We are always happy to hear from you. Would be happy to know whether attached pictures came out clear and fine. Our prayers are always with you. We continue to deeply cherish your ministry partnership.

  Shalom!!!
