Wednesday 6th May
The team of five are now safely settled in The Grand Regency Guest House in Lumley while the rest of the team continue on the project work for The City of Rest.
Last night the Lumley Team had supper with some leaders who are helping with the conference. We enjoyed barbecued snapper – a delicious local fish – with chips and salad. It was wonderful to meet up again with old friends. A young man – Andrew Sesay – who was saved and baptised as a result of our very first team visit in 1994, now leads the work of Iris Ministries (Heidi Baker) in Sierra Leone. After supper as our guests were about to leave the Holy Spirit came powerfully on a young American couple (Isaac & Brittany) so they could hardly stand up. Brittany had some amazing words for Mo about how she had rarely seen the love of Jesus so clearly present in someone. As we prayed together Mo was deeply affected by what was happening.
The conference starts today with Terry and Andrew taking the first two sessions and Terry will speak at the crusade tonight. The rest of the team will be joining us for the evening.

Monday 4th May
This past week has gone so quickly and apart from a few tummy upsets the whole team have done really well. We have made good progress at the Grafton site for new centre for The City of Rest Drug Rehab. The base for the generator house has been laid and the walls are nearly complete. Dave Seddon & Will McCanna have spent most of their time down a hole in the ground helping to dig a well – now 15ft deep!
We have visited 7 of the Mission Direct projects and taken over £2,000 of Aid Goods that some of you gave us before we left – they are so grateful.
On Sunday morning we went to one of the local churches where Terry preached and Joelle visited the youth and children’s work. There was a good response with about a dozen people with poor eyesight were prayed for and about half said they could see better. Three people responded to the Gospel at the end of the service.
After the service we spent the rest of the day on a beautiful tropical beach swimming, tanning and eating barracuda, rice, mango and pineapple – well someone has to do it!
Today (Monday) most of the team will work on the Grafton site while Terry, Mo and Joelle go into Freetown for meetings with the Fire Chief of Sierra Leone and the head of the Sierra Leone Army Chaplains. They both want to talk to Terry about ‘trauma support’.
Tomorrow five of the team including Terry, Mo and Joelle travel to Lumley for the Pastors Conference and Crusade Meetings. On Tuesday evening they will have supper with the Conference organisers and the Iris Ministries team – the amazing work started by Heidi Baker.
I hope to refresh this blog every day now – SO PLEASE KEEP PRAYING
