Dear Friends,

Equipping Leaders International has a new logo! The need to equip under resourced pastors is rapidly growing. We hope the new modern logo multiplies our reach to equip leaders to impact their world.

VISION 2040
By 2040 we desire that the five key areas of Sierra Leone would have 12 "faithful men" (2 Timothy 2:2) who have taken our 12-15 courses, and our themselves teaching the courses to their own people, and there by reaching thousands of people! Our heart is to empower the national with training that can be reproduced, because the need for theological education and pastoral training in Sierra Leone is great!

In order for this vision to become a reality it will take....

A band of faithful prayer warriors that engage the Father's heart to send reproducible training to the churches through our faithful men.
An increase in financial partners that want to see Sierra Leone transformed by the power of the gospel.
A growing group of "faithful men" in five key areas, and their protection and fidelity to Christ.
Health and protection for the Sierra Leone team: Musa, Rick, and me.
For Sierra Leone to remain politically stable and safe for outsiders to enter.
And much more...

TRAINING IN FREETOWN

FAITHFUL MEN IN KONO

PRAY
Pray to our good and kind Father that this vision come to pass. Pray for Musa and our "faithful men" advancing the vision one step closer by training in Freetown and the villages of Kono this week and next.

GIVE
God's word instructs us to give as we have decided in our hearts. We do not give reluctantly, or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).

When you give, pray and lean in, ask God what you are to do, and ask Him for the faith to follow through! What a beautiful opportunity we have to partner with Christ and build up faithful leaders to equip the Church in Sierra Leone.
