IMPACT BECOMING GREATER – Yatta Samura

Dear Friends,
 We had sad news this few days. I believe it could have got worst
but for your prayers. The number of affected people in the country
went way up. I lost a Pastor’s friend who died by Ebola, this man
went through our level one training 2 years ago and has been very
active in the sports ministry. He has already been buried by the.
Ebola burial team. The Ebola virus becomes more dangerous and
active when somebody dies so a burial Teams are develop all over
the country. This man is married with 3 children and also look after
his father and mother in the same house. The house has already
been isolated – nobody goes in or out for 21 days.
  Somebody also died yesterday in the same building as our office
and the church in freetown – the person is a nurse working in the Ebola
unit he contracted the disease fall sick and died in his room. The House
is a four stories building and there are other people living in the same
building. He lives in the last flat. He has been taken away and buried.
The house will also have to be isolated nobody goes in or out for 21 days.
Which means there will not be any church service for us as nobody will
be allowed to enter the building. I also lost a coach in Bo south of the
country died again by Ebola. He was one of the organizer of our last
youth  camp at Hastings in Freetown. I am becoming frighten but i should
been seen as leader of the Army of God, serve the people in this difficult
times. I set up a chain – prayer group all around the country. Prayer should
not stop.Every body in the chain is ask to pray 30 minutes a day. I have to co ordinate it by insuring that it is going on, my time is 2:30 – 3:00 A M  with many
other people that same time. We ask people to bring people within there time
so we get more people involve.
 The country want to close down again for another 7 days when everybody
will have to stay indoors when nobody goes in and out in the whole country.
to stop the contracting of the disease and to stop the hiding of the sick
people. Families are hiding their sick relative in their homes – that is how
families are contracting the disease. Some families lost everyone. All died.
 A National Ebola Response Center has not been , not much Holding centers
where patients are admitted, not much labs where cases are to be  confirm.
 It is estimated that over 2, 200 people have died not the number Government
is giving because they are managing the information. I don’t know but it seem
to be getting worse but that the tricks of the devil. This is not a fight for man
any more we are believing God. He is the Lord that heals and we are depending
on him. The Name of the Lord is a strong tower the righteous run into it
and are safe. We shall be safe in Jesus’ name. WHO and all concern will
not be able this fight. I value your prayers and supports.
  1.Pray that God gives us opportunity to share Christ  in this difficult situation
2. That God open more opportunity for me to serve.
3. That God provide for us to look after those looking up to my assistance
4. That God takes away the virus from us and the face of the earth.
5. For more grace for our front line workers Doctors and nurses and all
those working in the unit.
6. Those people that are in the country to assist, UK USA CHINA , SUDAN
for God’s protection and grace.
7. For the Government and the coordinating unit set up for administration, monitoring and evaluation for effectiveness.
 Stay Blessed

Three days home stay

The 3 days home staying came to an end today.  Government ordered
every body in the country to stay home for three days to contain the
sprede of the Ebola virus. It wea really not easy for people as some cannot
afford food in their homes. The major problemis that the virus is spreding

Many people from outside are coming in to helpus with the fight. China
has sent in doctors and equipments and also setting up mobile Labouratories.
South Africa is also here, America gave Ambulances and money and also sending
personnels. The therr days was really helpful as meny people are hiding those

to the taken to the health centres. I stay in contact with those from Kono
I have set up Chain prayers around the country – People are set around the clock
to pray for 30 minuites in their house a day. My responsibility is to monitore make sure
the people remember their timing. So i am doing a lot of telephone calls.
I just hare that we would have to go in again for another 4 or 5 days. It has
been really helpful. The govt. gave me pass to move around during the three days
as monitor. Many people came around for help, helth and feeding. I am happy i was
in the position to give assistance. Thank you for your help and standing withh us
in this difficult times. Please keep praying for us that it will pass away.

SICKNESS AND HUNGRY

Dear  Brother and Sisters
  I am writing this mail with a heavy heart – Several of my Friends have died both in Kailayun,
Kenema and Makeni , Things are getting bad many people are dying everyday.
 The Government of Sierra Leone are putting modality together as Non Ebola patient
are also dying so they are reviving the non ebola hospital. Doctors and Nurses
are afraid  to touch patient as many of them has died.
 The Director of communication in the ministry of Health and sanitation yesterday told news
men that since the outbreak of the Ebola Virus in the country in May over 8, 478 household
has been quarantined  (Isolated) Any person who contracted the disease the house will be
quarantined because contact would have been made.
 This sickness came at a time when Sierra Leone was Rebuilding and looking forward to
the future with grate hope. In this past few months most of the hopes has been taken away
Ebola is not only killing our people but also destroying the economy and changing and our
way of life. People staying indoors all the time afraid to go out in-order not to contract the
disease. Unemployment was very high now it worst because many business have close down
and many people have pull out, companies offices have close down therefore no income
and prices of good have go high up because ships are not coming in that much. It is unknown
when school and university will reopen, most activities has come to an halt . They are trying
to start teaching children on the radio. I know it will not be effective.
  Some of my members in Freetown their houses have been quarantined  and no food
so they are asking me for help.Our Brothers and sisters at this moment nothing seem
to be working in this country so sickness and Hunger is killing us. So please help us
with whatever you can.  After the 3 days the home staying was effective by government
they are trying to keep us for another 7 days with nobody going out.
 One good news we are not alone people seem to be coming to give medical assistance.
China is here, England is here and that makes us hopeful, Australia, Cuba, America and
so on. So we pray and hope that it will soon come to an end. We believe God will answer
our prayer.  Stay Blessed
