10 Nov Update on Billy Simbo

Jeff Bleijerveld, Director of Global Ministries
Billy Simbo has returned to Sierra Leone after an extended stay in the States. He had been attending a month-long training event in South Dakota which focused on multiplying disciples in a missions context. About 32 other leaders from around the world were there, too. The organization conducting the conference covered all of the costs.

I met with Billy and his wife, Mamei, for a few days in Philadelphia. Mamei is dealing with a blood disorder which limits her ability to live in Sierra Leone. She plans to go for a number of months beginning in January. 

Billy has been doing a great job of mentoring young leaders and preparing for real solid transition two years from now. He set up five regions for Sierra Leone Conference and is developing a new leadership structure as well.
