JOIN US IN BUILDING A CHURCH OF HOPE IN LENSENIAL!

GREETINGS AND BLESSING!

We are reaching out to you with a heartfelt invitation to be part of a transformative journey in Lensenia, a town in the Falaba district of Sierra Leone’s Northern Province. This vibrant, predominantly Muslim community has never had a church building in its history. Yet, through our recent evangelism efforts, we’ve witnessed a remarkable shift—a genuine openness and willingness among the community to embrace a place of Christian worship.

THE STORY: A NEW BEGINNING 

For years, the people of Lensenia have expressed their longing for a space where they can come together to worship, share their faith, and foster a sense of community. The absence of a church has been a challenge, leaving many without a dedicated place to gather in prayer and support one another. However, after heartfelt discussions and prayerful consideration, the local leaders have offered us a plot of land to build a church, marking a historic moment for this town.

THE CHALLENGES: BUILDING FROM THE GROUND UP

While this is an incredible opportunity, we face significant challenges. Constructing a church is no small feat, especially in a region where resources are limited.

WHAT WILL FUNDS WILL COVER:

Building Materials:

• Purchase of quality materials such as bricks, cement, roofing, and wood.
• Additional items like windows, doors, and flooring materials to ensure durability and comfort.

Labor Costs:

• Hiring skilled laborers and local craftsmen to ensure the church is constructed properly and sustainably.
• Providing fair wages to support the local economy.

Site Preparation:

• Installing audio-visual equipment for services and events, including microphones and speakers.

Community Engagement:

• Providing training for future church leaders and volunteers.

Landscaping and Exterior Features:
