One week from tomorrow, we will be arriving in Sierra Leone to begin the prep work for the ship's arrival in February. Just months ago it seemed so far away... Now it's here! We are both looking forward to returning to West Africa. We are excited for this next adventure and what God is going to do.
I thought I'd share a few "quick facts" of this next country we'll call home for a little while :)...
-Bordered by Liberia and Guinea.
-Ranked one of the world’s poorest country by United Nations’ Human Development Index.
-Recovering from fourteen years of civil war.
-Relies on mining, especially the diamond for its economic base.
-English is the official language, 97% speak Krio.
-Not one hospital has running water!
-Predominately a Muslim nation—Islam 60%, Christian 30%, Indigenous Religions 10%.
