Power to Change:

Praise God that lives are being changed in Sierra Leone by hearing about Jesus. One such story was Pa Osman who, as chief of his village, held power and influence but felt a growing emptiness inside. The Jesus film resonated with him and he wrote,“... I realized that what I had been searching for all along was a relationship with Jesus.”

Eric Rose, director of the Jesus Film Strategy writes: “Dear Friends at College Heights Baptist Church, we are deeply grateful for your generous support of the JFCPS in Sierra Leone. Your gifts play a vital role in enabling the Loko team to continue their mission of planting churches in the Tonkolili. The spiritual landscape of the region is being powerfully transformed, with thousands of lives brought out of the Kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light! Thank you for partnering with us.”
