First off is Mohamed Sillah and wife Beatrice. They are expecting their first child in the a few months.
Mohamed is a 26 year old, former Muslim who praise God saw the truth and
has been gloriously born again! He attends the Bible school, teaches Sunday
School and does a fine job on evangelism. To provide for himself and his wife,
he buys chromite from the local miners and then sells it in Bo or Freetown.
Mohamed, along with 15 other people, including his wife, was recently baptized
and he has decided to change his name. Mohamed desires to separate himself from
his Muslim background, because he is walking in newness of life, and is choosing
to now be called Michael. While I like his reason for changing his name, I will
always think of him as Mohamed, and it will take some time to remember to call
him Michael. He always has the biggest smile, and enjoys teasing the white girl!
Beatrice is one of the sweetest ladies, quiet, but sweet. She works
planting (Braids) hair from home and she plants a lot of hair. It is amazing to
watch her fingers fly through the hair, and some of the designs she does are
astounding! Hair is big business here, not only hair, but wigs as well! Beatrice
is kept busy as most ladies do not wear the same style for more than a week!
Moses Menjor Family
A while back, I told about Alfred Menjor and his family, this time
it is his older brother Moses’ turn.
Moses
is in his mid 30’s, he has some major health problems that often leave him not
feeling well but he is a great evangelism partner! Moses and I are both very
quiet, but when we work together, we do all right! Recently we have been going
to a business where many people lounge about and have been able to have several
good conversations.
One
such conversation was with two men Gino and Mohamed. Gino is a loud, rough
looking fellow who lost his left arm in the war; he is also the proprietor of
the business where we meet, while Mohamed is a quiet, more thoughtful young man.
Both have questions regarding the Bible, Islam, etc. And between Moses and me,
we have been able to answer all the ones they have sent our way!
If
you would please remember to pray for Mohamed, he knows that he is a sinner, but
as to putting his trust in Christ, he is not quite ready to make that step!
Moses has been doing a great job talking with people who want to
know more about the Church, and talking with men who are trying to start new
Church in Baomahun, but who Moses says do not know their Bibles!! It was not
that long ago Moses was just like those men, with little Bible understanding,
but God has made such a difference in his life!
Moses’ wife is Juliet and they have a little
girl Esther, who is just over a year and a half old! Moses makes his money
charging cell phones, Honda batteries among other things.
(I do not have picture of Juliet)
So
there are just a few more people from Baomahun!
Aimée
