The main purpose of this trip was to build relationships with our key staff and the local 23 workers employed directly by FHMI in Bo and to assess the various departments.

• Zion Primary School
• Vocational Training for vulnerable women
• Church Plants
• Bible College
• Village Outreach 

Cynthia Kanu is our Head of Ministry Development and is supported by her husband Kelfala. Both are on the board of Fresh Hope Ministries International, Sierra Leone along with David and Barbara Craig. FHMI-SL is now a fully registered non-profit corporation in Sierra Leone, wholly owned by Fresh Hope Ministries International, a UK Charity based in Northern Ireland.

A secondary purpose was to look at how we can help the poor of 3 small villages that God had brought across our path a week or two before going out.

The team consisted of Andrea Peterson and Audrey Thompson, both Trustees, and David and Barbara Craig.

Overall, after 8 trips now since 2002 to Sierra Leone, if we had to use one word to sum up what we experienced on this trip it would be ‘overwhelming’. Our hearts overflowed with the love and compassion of Jesus for the lost, sick and hurting, especially for the remote villages. We have come to loathe the word ‘prioritize’ because someone somewhere will be missing out what we can do with the available resources.
