Aletheia Ministries


Michael Turay is the director of Aletheia Ministries and pastor-in-charge at Grace Center Bible Church in Freetown, Sierra Leone.  Michael and I met at a conference this past January in Spokane.  He was a speaker.  During a breakout session he shared about the desire his church has for a building for worship, as well as a discipleship training center and pastor training center on some on land they have in Freetown. The property is very steep and rocky as the photos on this page demonstrate.  The church members are working hard to clear this site. Next they need plans:)




Following are some further descriptions Michael has shared about this new facility:

"We are requesting that HIM help us with a building plan that would enhance the effectiveness in our reaching out to the lost in our nation, and to disciple them with God's infallible Word...We need an auditorium that would hold about 300 people, as we are presently using the community center of the village, which others are also using.  we need it also to provide training for pastors, and education for our illiterate community."

and in another note he wrote:

"I am so thankful to God to have met you at our DM2 conference in Washington.  God knows how to connect people together to further His work in nations all over the world.  I hope our coming together to do God's work will be a blessing to many, and more specifically to our peoples in our land of Sierra Leone."

As Michael points out - it is God who orchestrated our coming together on a cold January weekend in Spokane...God is so amazing.  Please pray that He gives me the right ideas as design of this facility gets underway.
