P. 2

God so loved the world, that he gave his only
     begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
     should not perish, but have everlasting life.
     John 3:16

     The Christian faith was introduced by
     missionaries, to the inhabitants of Sierra Leone
     over 200 years ago. The seat of British West
     Africa's administration was in Freetown, where
     missionaries from England made use of the
     opportunity to juxtapose the work with the
     gospel of Jesus Christ. The whole gospel they
     proclaimed was all summarized in John
     Chapter 3 verse 16. This was proclaimed in
     school's morning devotion throughout the
     nation, and became a house-hold phrase in
     the home of school going children. It has cause
     spiritual transformation in the lives of multitudes
     nation-wide, and it is the bye-word in the lips
     of 'babes'. It is the most popular verse from the
     Bible in the nation. Someone once said it is
     the Gospel in a nutshell.
