Introducing Justus

This is Justus Koroma. 

He is the head teacher at the Bible Telling School. He trains and teaches in the Bible Story Telling methodology. He oversees the church and school in Brigitte Village and has teaching points in Brigitte and Quari villages. 


Justus first came to Brigitte Village five years ago. He had the village chief's blessing to be there, as a Christian preacher. He worked then with Rick and Paula Miller, and then when they returned to West Africa, they were able to partner with Justus again. 

Five years ago, Justus introduced Christianity to many in the small fishing community located on the southern edge of Sierra Leone's peninsula. Even with his peaceful but joyful demeanor, Justus was shaking things up. He was kicked out of the first home he rented, because the owner was a leader in the Muslim community. He was persecuted and criticized. It was not an easy life. But he persevered, dedicated to his cause, and can now call many former enemies his friends. 

The church fellowship in Brigitte Village now has a building for regular worship, and he heads that church, recruiting new members constantly with the popular Bible Story Telling method. Justus is a leader among men in Sierra Leone. He will be a critical teacher and trainer when the Bible Telling School opens on the campus in Brigitte Village.

Please pray for Justus. Pray he will continue to grow in his faith and as a leader for God.
