| Summer in Sierra Leone... | |||
| by Issa Kargbo, First Chairman of the Sierra Leone National Board in 1985 | |||
| What a thrill!! What an excitement!! What a blessing to return to the land of my birth—Sierra Leone—as a summer mission student from the Capital Bible Seminary in Maryland. To God be the glory as all that I needed was provided in a timely and amazing way! | |||
| The high point of my trip was when I led a young Muslim lady called Fatmatu, to the Lord on my last day in Sierra Leone. She came to know the Lord at a crisis point in her life—without a permanent home nor more than one set of clothes to wear. Thinking of my past life when I was a Muslim, we shared some things that we have in common. She will need your prayers for the Lord to continue what He has started to do in her life. Augusta, a CinA national missionary in Freetown, is helping Fatmatu to follow Christ. |
 Issa,
preaching at CinA's church in Bo, during his early days of ministry in the
1980s. |
||
| I had the opportunity and privilege to preach on three consecutive Sundays in different CinA churches, and led a Bible study group in another denominational church. I was honored to speak to a group of young athletes who are passionate about sports, and urged them to be faithful and committed to the ministry to which God has called them. They impact others in the arena of sports, and shine for Jesus by the way they participate in their matches. | |||
| It was the rainy season in Sierra Leone, and it rained so hard and unceasingly that most of my activities took place indoors. Most of my time was devoted to holding seminars in CinA churches strengthening and encouraging leaders and laity. This reminded me of Paul and his team in the Book of Acts 14:21-23 …strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith. This was precisely what I went there to do. | |||
| Issa Kargbo lives in Maryland, US, where he is attending seminary. | |||
