The Word at Work in West Africa

Greetings from CCI Liberia!

During September and October, I traveled along the East Coast of the United States with CCI leaders from Albania, Vietnam, and India. We visited supporting churches to thank them and share news from our countries. I enjoyed meeting people who have prayed for the ministry and giving them a chance to hear firsthand about the work.

One highlight was my first visit to Milestone Church in Tennessee. Scott and Karen welcomed me into their home and cared for me throughout my stay. Pastor Danny and the congregation warmly welcomed me, and I shared about CCI's work in Liberia and across West Africa. I also preached on Matthew 9:35-38, "The Gospel and Our Response."

In Liberia, we are preparing to begin classes in the nine counties where CCI training hasn't started yet, especially in the southeast. Our teachers are eager to equip more pastors and ministry leaders and help plant healthy churches in these communities.

In The Gambia, classes are progressing well, and we continue to hear encouraging testimonies from those receiving training. I hope to visit them in 2027.

In Sierra Leone, CCI is starting new training classes among the Limba people in Makini and Kayonkro.

Thank you for your prayers and partnership. It was a joy to spend time with so many of you and share what God is doing in West Africa.

Yours in Christ,

Emmanuel and Wintee Jonah

Testimony

"The Gambia is a Muslim country, and for many years I believed the god of the Qur'an and the God of the Bible were the same. But my CCI class completely changed my understanding. I am grateful to be a student. Because of CCI, my faith has grown, my eyes are open, and today I teach Sunday school at my local church. Thank God for Crossing Cultures International."

Staff

Area Coordinators from Montserrado, Margibi, Grand Bassa, Bong, and Nimba counties met in Paynesville on October 26. They provided updates on classes and preparations for CCI Liberia pending graduation. They have also begun recruiting new students to replace those graduating this month. Thank God for Tarkpor, Henry, Roosevelt, Alex, and Erastus Kahn for all they do. CCI Liberia is on the move!

Sierra Leone

New Classes

On October 30, Samuel Kamara and his team arrived in Makini and Kayonkro to start two churches and CCI classes among the Limba people. Their visit followed a survey of the two towns by Samuel and Yapoh Conteh.

The Limba are an ethnic group in Sierra Leone whose communities include people who follow traditional beliefs, including ancestral worship, as well as Islam. CCI is working to share the gospel in these communities, plant healthy churches, and train local church leaders.

Four trained CCI teachers are prepared to help with this work. Our teachers in Liberia are also praying and are eager to spend three weeks to a month in Sierra Leone preaching and teaching. Research is underway into the availability of a Bible translation in the Limba language.
