PROBLEMS FACE IN EVANGELISING CHILDREN, YOUTHS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN SIERRA LEONE Every family is different and has its own qualities as well as its own weakness. In this regard,
the classification of homes
simply as Christians and nonchristian is
inadequate.
Nevertheless, it is true that
the vast majority of children in the world grow
up in the homes which gives no witness to Christ and which do not bring the children into sustain relationship
with God. In many cases the influence of the home
leads a child from Christ
and the will of God. In view of that, the Christian
Mission assumes the
responsibility of reaching both the children and
their families. we believe the children like their parents are worn by love, by prayer,
by God’s word and by the
power of the Holy Spirit.
Although Sierra Leone is neither a Christian nor a Muslim state .yet is highly populated
with Muslims. Even in the
Christian sector, we have many who don’t
know ethereality
of what Jesus has done and
meant in their lives. In the City of
Freetown for example;
there is more of Mosques than
Churches, many homes
in Freetownare Muslims
and other religious group dominated. My heart aches
with such
statistics. Of course,
in the Provinces more of Muslims and other
religious groups.But to
reach out in the Country is very difficult. In that, it
cost lots of energy, time, materials, money and transport facilities to go to
the interior places(Villages). The hobbies of many
families here is that,
they believe
in going to the Cinemas,
Video Centres, Ghettos,
Plazas
you name them for socialEntertainment. And as a
result of this worldliness
in them,
the way of salvation they
don’t know. Broken families
have become
an odd development of Satan.Children are force to go
into the streets
of Freetown and the
Provinces. Immoralities has become the fate of
both young boys and girls
and live a very wicked life.
