Mission Updates
Construction Complete!!!
All Glory to God!
The time we have prayed and worked for since 2017 has come to fruition! A huge THANK YOU to our contractor, Mr. Bah of Dream Tech Solutions (Freetown, Sierra Leone). Mr. Bah has completed construction of the school building, including his donation of solar powered lighting. Let there be light! Many of our goals are becoming reality with the completion of the school building, the drilling of the Living Water Well, and the installation of four latrines. Thank you, Jesus!!!
God’s Provision
of Classroom Furnishings
After completing our Phase I construction of the school building, we needed to furnish the classrooms with desks, chairs, bookshelves, and library books. In answer to our prayers and petitions, a local Ohio school district generously donated everything we needed and more!
God’s blessings continued as a friend donated the use of his 18 wheeler and helped us - along with several other volunteers - load the truck, transfer to a shipping container, and finally send it off to Freetown, Sierra Leone!
Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for each and every one who has given to this project! THANK YOU!
We are encouraged by God’s provision and now look to our final fundraising goal for 2024: Tamagalie Christian Primary School’s ongoing operational costs.
Operational Expenses: $3,000
Phase I Construction and Beyond
The completed school structure consists of four classrooms, a staff office, and a supply room that will also serve as accommodation for our team when we are in Tamagalie. This permanent building is replacing the temporary bamboo structure, that although a blessing, had significant limitations and did little to offer protection during inclement weather and the rainy season. For the 145 students and 5 teachers, this permanent structure is a gift from God above and a lasting picture of his loving-kindness toward them. Our ultimate goal is the construction of several more classrooms as enrollment increases, a court barre for hosting ministry and community gatherings, and a playground to be built in subsequent phases of development.
The Living Water Well
What a great victory!
All Glory and Honor belong to Jesus for this momentous accomplishment! The Living Water Well is a deep well providing clean, pure, life-giving water to the people of Tamagalie and many surrounding communities within the Bramaia Chiefdom. Drilling this well was made possible through the donations of faithful partners like you! Our Teach Tamagalie team was able to witness the drilling of this well and take part in the rejoicing and celebration of this thrilling event!
Not long after our team departed for home, the well tower with two storage tanks for a total of 7000 liters was complete. The skilled and generous contractor also installed four water taps in the center of the village for everyone’s convenience. No more long walks of over a mile to fetch polluted river water! What a blessing from the Lord!
2022 Mission Trip
Board members Rick, Kim, and Deborah went to Tamagalie in March, 2022, and God did amazing things!
Sunday Night Church Service - First Christian church service in the history of Tamagalie!
Romans 10:14-15
How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.”7 adults, including all 5 of our TCPS teachers, declared their intent to follow Jesus and are being discipled by our board members!
The vast majority of all TCPS students prayed to ask Jesus into their hearts!
Our Phase 1 Projects:
The Living Water Well
The village now has a deep water well that will never run dry! It will provide Tamagalie and all surrounding villages with clean, safe drinking water!
Installed 4 latrines
Constructed the school building (finished in 2024)
Our New Names:
Much to our surprise, we were paid a visit by the Paramount Chief of the Bramaia chiefdom - PC Kandeh Momoh Samba Sulaiman De-Phoreh II. He wanted to meet us and defer upon us African names and titles because he was so appreciative of the work that he heard we were accomplishing. A lavish ceremony was held and our titles were bestowed. This honor gave us a position in the chiefdom right under the Paramount Chief.
Our new African names:
Pa Alimamy Momoh Rogers I
Ya Alimamy Fatmata Kimmy I
Ya Alimamy Terena Deborah I
