of us all can the above be a reality and even increase. We have spread across Liberia and are in
the neighboring countries where we evangelize, disciple and church plant. 

Report from Sierra Leone:

Our Sierra Leone team is working in the Teneme-Banta tribe. It is known as a resistant Muslim tribe. This tribe had no known Christians. We have been working in this tribe for a few months. Over 100 have been baptized, and have a fellowship of believers worshipping together. The short video below is of one of their worship services.

Our team has also formed a team of leaders from within the tribe.

New disciples are individually trained.

Disciples are also trained in small groups.

Report from our Lofa indigenous missionary team:

The Loma and Mandingo tribes are unreached Muslim tribes. The picture below is of a church we are helping. We are assisting in their building construction, training their leaders, evangelizing in the community and raising up disciples from among the Loma and Mandingo.

We have 6 indigenous missionary teams reaching 12 unreached tribes. Several of these tribes have had no known Christians, and are 1,000’s of years old.  Yet, when we show up, we find hundreds already prepared by our Lord for salvation. It is not our great abilities of rhetoric that has brought their salvation, but by us just showing up in fearless, bold, obedience. It breaks my heart, tears flow!!! Where has our Lord’s Church been for all these 1,000’s of years? The harvest is truly plentiful. As an indigenous missionary training and sending hub, we are aware that there are 393 unreached tribes, 147 million lost souls, in West Africa. We, as our Lord’s Church, easily have the ability to reach everyone of these tribes if we would just show up in fearless, bold, obedience. 

You are invited to participate with us, in the challenge, to reach the unreached tribes of West Africa. 1 Corinthians 10:16 says, “Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?” This Communion verse is saying that we are to be participants in the mission, and sacrificial passion of Christ to reach the lost. As we take Communion let us make an oath to our Lord to be participants. As I drink from the cup, I make a solemn oath, “Lord, as you suffered, bled and died for the lost, I too will participate. I will suffer, bleed and die for the lost”. As I eat of the bread, I make another oath, “Lord, as you suffered, bled and died for Your Church, I too will participate. I will suffer, bleed and die for your Church.” Luke 9:23-24 says, “Then he said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.” 

Participate with us in praise and prayer:

• Pray: For our indigenous missionary teams, that they will continue to fearlessly, boldly and sacrificially advance the gospel into the unreached tribes.
• Pray: For our new indigenous missionary team to Guinea. They are going to 2 unreached, Christian-less tribes. Pray that our Lord will reveal where they shall establish their base.
• Pray: For us we march into and live within the strongholds of Satan to, “snatch others from the fire and save them.” Jude 1:23.
• Pray: “Finally, our friends, pray for us that the Lord's message may continue to spread rapidly and be received with honor, just as it was among you. Pray also that God will rescue us from wicked and evil people; for not everyone believes the message.” 2 Thessalonians 3:1-2.
