Our friends the Riddick family (Rusty, Adriane, Ryan, and Lil Gent) arrived in Freetown, Sierra Leone on Sunday, February 5. It is at the invitation of the Riddicks and the United Pentecostal Church of Sierra Leone that Heidi and I will visit.
The Riddick family will spend approximately four weeks in Sierra Leone; 2 weeks ahead of our arrival on Feb. 24, 12 days together, and then departing together to come back home to the States on March 8. This incredible missionary family has been on the field for 4 years. Such sacrifice! The Riddick family will then travel the United States on deputation to raise funds to come back to their new field of labor Sierra Leone.
Heidi and I have had the wonderful privilege to visit West Africa at their invitation before; first, the
country of Cameroon in the years 2013 and 2015. West Africa
has placed a permanent impression on our hearts.
We again have been joyfully invited back to West Africa; this time to Sierra Leone! Our Mission: to greet, encourage and assist in planning for progress for the future of the United Pentecostal Church International in Sierra Leone!
