Our second Sunday, we traveled by motorbikes to a Christians in Action Mende speaking church. I had the privilege of preaching that morning. As I preached in English, Pastor Alfred Barnes translated for me into Mende. (Pastor Barnes oversees several churches and is also part of the Mende Primer Construction team).
We had a time of singing, prayers, and communion. Ana Marie read the Scripture and I preached on Mission Possible (Luke 4:14-21). After service, Pastor Barnes invited us to his home for lunch.
We are excited about the potential for partnering with Christians in Action churches to develop literacy classes and help reach our Sierra Leone Challenge of raising the literacy rate from 39% to 50% by 2015.
