July, 2025

The Monthly Prayer Focus for the month of July highlights Redeemer’s long-time commitment to the ministry of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Sierra Leone, West Africa. Since 2013, Redeemer has specifically supported the ministry taking place in the Village of Fintonia, located in the north-central portion of the country.

This ministry has included support for the primary and secondary school, and for the church planted in this very remote community. Over the years, we have also provided school supplies, provided sponsorships, and helped pay for means of transportation. In addition, we have helped finance the construction of the church building and have supported the operation of the church. The church has been so successful, they are planting a new church about five miles from the current church. This is a major accomplishment in this majority Muslim area.

This ministry to Sierra Leone funnels through EduNations, a non-profit organization that began in 2004, as an outreach ministry of Memorial Park EPC Church in Allison Park, PA, and also as an outreach ministry of the Presbytery of the Alleghenies. EduNations eventually extended to serve as the coordinator of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church’s ministry to Sierra Leone.

EduNations currently operates fifteen schools for 3,700 students, with 150 teachers in six villages of Sierra Leone. The Senior Secondary school is a boarding school, providing free room and board for students.

Please pray for:

  • God’s continued blessing on the church and church plant in the Village of Fintonia.

  • Usman Kamara—the teacher we help to support—as he teaches math. Pray that God will use him to change the lives of his students.

  • The EduNations’ leadership and teachers, as they travel and teach. Pray that God will provide protection from the Muslim influences in the country.

  • The students that individuals in the Redeemer congregation support monthly. Prayerfully consider whether you can join them to provide monthly support for a student.
