Following the generosity of our Connexion community, donating more than £14,500 towards the purchase of a replacement car for Magnus, we have received a letter of heart-felt thanks from him.

 

Dear Brothers and Sisters

Deepest gratitude for the gift of a car

Grace and peace be to you all in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am writing to you today with a heart full joy and gratitude. When I received the news of your incredible generosity to set money aside toward the purchase of a new vehicle for my ministry here in Sierra Leone, I felt really humbled and very thankful to God. I felt so blessed by your love. Clearly, I cannot afford buying a car for myself but with God, all things are possible. Please accept my profound thanks for this great and worthy gift.

As you know, the ministry takes me into some of the most remote and challenging terrains. Reaching our brothers and sisters in the interior has often been a struggle against distance and the lack of reliable transport. This car is much more than a vehicle to me; it is a partner in ministry.

Because of your kindness, I can again deepen outreach, visit distant village churches more frequently and consistently, deliver essential aid, especially from the shipment. I can safely transport  shoe bags, gifts, Bibles, and help to communities that are often overlooked.

Your partnership is a tangible reminder that we are one body, working together across borders to further the Gospel. Your sacrifice will directly translate into more miles traveled, more hands held, more people prayed for, more children smiled to and more lives touched by the Word of God.

Please know that you are in our daily prayers. We ask that God blesses the Connexion and the SLM and all of you abundantly for your faithfulness and your heart for the people of Sierra Leone.

As Paul wrote: 'I thank my God upon every remembrance of you... For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now.' (Philippians 1:3, 5)

With sincere thanks and blessings, I am yours in His service,

Magnus Bendu
