Shoe Bag Appeal!

Every year shoe bags for our children in Sierra Leone are put together by church member volunteers from all over the UK and sent to the children at our churches, schools and Bethesda Orphanage in time for Christmas. This year the shipment will be leaving the UK in September 2024.

Each bag contains donated treats of useful and practical items, small items of clothing, books and toys. Receiving these shoe bags is one of the highlights of the year for many of our children in Sierra Leone.

We are extremely thankful for all donations towards the bags and pray that 2024 will be another a bumper shoe bag year, bringing happy smiles to even more of the poorest children in Sierra Leone!

For more information, please get in touch with one of our Connexion churches. Click on this link for a list of church locations.
