Holy Week Camp in Sierra Leone

In Sierra Leone, we help support an orphan home with 60 children. A few weeks ago they had a camp where they invited street and community children to attend.

Over five days, the children played games, sang praise, danced, had Bible teachings and were feed three meals a day! Many of these street children normally eat dirt to fill their aching bellies, so this was a rare treat for them.

A high point of the camp was when one of the Muslim boys showed interest in the daily Bible teachings. He asked many questions during the remaining time at the camp and the leaders knew he was close to receiving the Lord. On the fourth day, he prayed and received Christ!

The last day of camp was Easter Sunday. The children celebrated with a church service, chicken and biscuits and a special sweet!



Since Easter, the orphan home leaders have been teaching the children about baptism. They plan on taking those who are ready to the beach to be baptized in the next few months.

On top of that, many of the street children have begun to receive regular meals from our program called “Back Door Dinners”!

It is so exciting to hear the difference these leaders are making in the lives of these children. Thank you for your part in making this possible!
