The Ministers' Retreat in Sierra Leone took place from 15 to 17 December at Makeni.

This year the ministers explored the theme of ‘Enlarging our coast in Christ’, examining the scriptures from 1Chronicles 4:9-10.

'Jabez was more honourable than his brothers.
His mother had named him Jabez, saying,
"I gave birth to him in pain."
Jabez cried out to the God of Israel,
"Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my territory!
Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm,
so that I will be free from pain."
And God granted his request.'

Speaking about the event, Magnus Bendu said, ‘It was a great retreat for everyone, very educative, refreshing and spiritually reviving. We are so grateful to the Sierra Leone Mission (SLM) for their continued support, which make these gatherings possible. It is really worth it!’
