Brief History of Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone, officially the Republic of Sierra Leone and informally Salone, is a country on the southwest coast of West Africa. It is bordered by Liberia to the southeast and Guinea to the northeast. Sierra Leone was a British Crown Colony from 1808 to 1961 when it achieved independence. Howeverm there have been recent periods of political unrest.

The population is just over 7 million people. Freetown, the capital and largest city, has just over 1 million inhabitants. Sierra Leone is predominantly Muslim (77%), with an influential Christian minority (22%). Muslims and Christians collaborate and interact with each other very peacefully, and religious violence is very rare. The major Christian and Muslim holidays are officially public holidays in the country. 

CIYWR in Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone is one of CIYWR’s five main countries of outreach in west Africa. As with our other Revival outreaches, we purposely work with local pastors and religious leaders well in advance of our Crusades, during the Revivals, and afterwards. We have found this partnership to be the most effective in winning souls for Christ and making solid disciples of the new converts. Because of its proximity to other work we do in west Africa, we try to be very strategic with our efforts and our resources (both financially and with our time).

“Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.”
Acts 2: 38,39

CIYWR’s service work in Sierra Leone includes Hospital Visits, and local Church Growth and Outreach.

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
James 2: 20,24
