PFSL CELEBRATES 365 Days

The Pentecostal Fellowship of Sierra Leone (PFSL) celebrated its 365 Days Thanksgiving Service with the theme “Expansion Conference” at the Bethel Temple International Ministries, Tower Hill, Freetown.

The event brought together various Pentecostal churches in a spirit filled atmosphere of worship, gratitude, and renewal of purpose.

The program began with a powerful intercession and opening prayer led by Apostle Augustine Kamara, followed by a vibrant praise and worship session that filled the auditorium with songs of thanksgiving. Apostle Siaka Abraham Kamara officially welcomed attendees, while Rabbi Tamba Eric Mbayo acknowledged the distinguished guests present.

The highlight of the service came when Apostle Dora Dumbuya delivered a stirring message on how the Holy Spirit works, a sermon that deeply moved the congregation. Pastor Gabriel Ariyo Olajuwon led the anointing for expansion, and the PFSL President, Bishop Akintayo Sam Jolly, ministered on territorial enlargement and the spiritual significance of expansion in God’s kingdom.

The event concluded with closing courtesies by Rev. Praise Massaquoi and a heartfelt closing prayer from Rev. Rashid Turay.

In an exclusive interview, Bishop Akintayo Sam Jolly, President of PFSL, reflected on the Fellowship’s journey and outlined his vision for the years ahead. He reaffirmed his commitment to build on the solid foundation laid by his predecessors through what he described as the Seven Vision Pillars a divine roadmap for the next four years of PFSL’s administration.

The Seven Vision Pillars include:
1. Unity of the Body of Christ
2. Harnessing Collective Strength within the Pentecostal and Charismatic Community
3. Growth and Expansion for Greater National Impact
4. Effective Collaboration and Communication
5. Diaspora Engagement
6. Self-Regulation within the Fellowship
7. Visibility and Stability

Bishop Sam-Jolly highlighted several ongoing initiatives, including the monthly general conference, a time for collective reflection and coordination; national prayer and intercession sessions for Sierra Leone; and the construction of a new facility in Tokeh, which will serve as a hub for fellowship, ministry training, and outreach programs.

He further emphasized PFSL’s continued commitment to leadership training for pastors and emerging Christian leaders, stressing the importance of unity and cooperation across denominations.

“This is not the work of one man,” he said. “It is the collective mission of the entire body of Christ. Together, we can achieve the vision God has given us.”

In his closing remarks, Bishop Sam-Jolly humbly added that his focus is not on leaving a legacy, but on ensuring continuity. a message that deeply resonated with the congregation.

🌍 The Power of One Voice -Yes, Yours!

Have you ever felt like your voice doesn’t matter? Like the world is too loud, too chaotic for your words to make a difference?

Let me remind you today: change has always started with one voice.

The voice that dares to speak up when others stay silent.
The voice that chooses kindness when it’s easier to scroll past.
The voice that shares a story, starts a conversation, or asks a powerful question.

Whether you’re standing in a crowd or sitting behind your screen you have something worth saying. And you never know who needs to hear it.

So speak. Write. Share.
Use your voice to inspire, empower, and uplift.
Because your voice might just be the spark someone else needs to rise.

C4D Kicks Off Community Clean-Up Drive at Funkia Wharf

By Mariama Kalma Marah

The long awaited promise made by Craving for Development (C4D) to the people of Funkia finally came to life today, as the organization launched a major community cleaning exercise at the Funkia fishing wharf in Goderich, Freetown. This activity marks the official start of the Gender Anchored, Climate Resilient Growth Program, an initiative aimed at empowering women and youth while tackling pressing environmental issues.

Once known for its heavy pollution and overwhelming waste, the Funkia Wharf is now undergoing a transformation. Today’s cleaning effort brought together youth volunteers, community leaders, and program participants who rolled up their sleeves and got to work. Armed with gloves, shovels, and bags, they tackled piles of plastic waste, discarded fishing materials, and other debris that have long choked the area.

“This is just the beginning,” said Madam Memunatu Bah, Program Manager at C4D. “The wharf is not only a fishing ground but a lifeline for the Funkia community. Cleaning it is about protecting both livelihoods and the environment.”

A key component of this clean up is sustainability. Most of the waste collected during the exercise especially plastic bottles and containers will be recycled into useful products as part of the program’s plastic to product training initiative. This approach not only reduces pollution but turns waste into economic opportunities for local residents.

The exercise aligns with the broader goals of the six month pilot project, which includes training over hundred 100 participants in climate smart skills like plastic recycling, solar fish drying, and environmental conservation. It also serves as a wake up call to address the poor waste management systems in many coastal communities.

Abuji Mansaray, a stake holder in the community expressed gratitude but also pointed out the need for sustainable waste management support. As he complaint of how they’ve tried to reach out to Freetown city Council but to no avail. In his interview he said “We appreciate this effort, but we need consistent systems in place we need a dumping site.

The clean up also served as a platform to raise awareness on climate resilience, civic responsibility, and the power of community led change. C4D’s initiative shows that real transformation starts from within and that development is most effective when it comes from the people, for the people.

As the sun set over Funkia, bags of collected waste stood as a symbol of progress. What was once an eyesore is slowly turning into a space of possibility. For the people of Funkia, today marked not just a clean wharf, but a cleaner, brighter, and greener future.
