23 Jan Christmas in Freetown, Sierra Leone

Francis Alie George, Emeric Young Memorial UB church (Freetown, Sierra Leone)

The Emeric Young Memorial UB church in Freetown, Sierra Leone, saw the Christmas season as a very important season to bring people together to foster the work of God. The board chose to have a home cell at each family head house from December 15-31, 2011, 6-9 pm. By this idea we transformed 12 people who are now part of our congregation (4 men, 5 women, and 3 children).

Our other event during the Christmas season was to bring all members born in the month of December and celebrate their birthday on December 25. All of them were happy to share food, drinks, and funds with each other, and our senior pastor prayed for them all.

Members attended a New Year’s Eve service on December 31, from 9-12 pm.

Finally, we kept a special service and a two-day revival for completing our tile project in the church, and also prayed for our sister church, Pleasant Valley, in the United States for helping us to complete the tiling.
