Ebola Crisis

You have heard about the Ebola virus that is threatening lives in Central Africa.

 

This terrible disease is spreading throughout Sierra Leone where there are hundreds of Wesleyan churches and many thousands of families that we count as our brothers and sisters. Many of you may remember meeting Dr. Warren Fornah, the director of the Jesus Film Project in Sierra Leone. He was our guest at District Conference.

 

We invite you to pray with us that God would protect and help our Wesleyan families who are in great danger from the Ebola virus at this time.
 
We also covet your prayers for the hospital staff at Kamakwie, the Wesleyan hospital that provides the only hospital-based service for many miles around the northwestern area of this impoverished country.
 
Dr. Jo Anne Lyon has authorized the opening of a Wesleyan Emergency Relief Fund to accept financial gifts and support, 100 percent of which will be used for hospital-related materials to deal with Ebola, as well as providing for training programs for area churches and communities to build awareness of the best ways to prevent the spread of this deadly disease.
 
Thank you for asking your church family to contribute to this fund and to pray for our Wesleyan churches, families, and hospital staff, who serve on the front lines and are preparing to encounter this horrible disease locally.
