I am in Sierra Leone, West Africa, this week. I came to Sierra Leone for the first time in 2002, right after the civil war was over, which resulted in many thousands of people being killed. I continued to come over several times a year for about 20 years. The country was very open to the gospel because of the poverty and turmoil caused by the war. I haven’t come over for over six years because of health issues. This trip has been very rewarding. We have started 43 churches since 2002, and most of them have a school ministry serving several hundred kids. Our ministry is actively training pastors through a Bible college and a seminary to equip new churches with quality leaders. We just finished building a facility for the Bible College and Seminary to meet in. It is a very nice building with plenty of room to teach many potential pastors. Because I was the pioneer of this ministry, I was honored that the building was named “Duke Hall.” It was a very nice honor, and all who were at the commissioning celebration were very honoring to me. Even though it was a very positive experience in my life, someday I will stand before Jesus at the Judgment seat of Christ, where I will be honored by Him for what I have done with my life for Him. That day will be wonderful if I have really served Christ well.
