On November 6, Jeff Bleijerveld received this note from John Pessima, bishop of Sierra Leone Conference.

“It is sad to announce that a family in our church at Kissy (Au Memorial Church) died yesterday of Ebola. Mr. Vandie Lansana Samuka, his wife, and two children were buried last evening by the burial team. Nobody is allowed in the home for now until after 21 days.

“Please continue to pray for us as they are planing to quarantine Bo this weekend. This thing is getting worse. We are all afraid, not knowing what will happen next.”

The conference headquarters is located in Bo, the country’s second-largest city.

Huntington University provides a limited number of scholarships to United Brethren students outside the United States and Canada. Not only do these students make a meaningful contribution to academic and student life, but they return to their homelands to serve as leaders in their churches and communities.

On November 5, Global Ministries invited these students to join them for dinner off-campus at a local Mexican restaurant. As you can tell by the photo, everyone had a lot of fun.
