National Director for Youth For Christ (Y.F.C) in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

The future of any nation lies in the positive utilization of its Youths. Sources have disclosed that the Sierra Leonean youths have been perpetrators and victims of the rebel war. There is an urgent need to direct attention to the proper utilization of our youths by providing them the much needed attention, audience, counsel and support through and by various means and programs so that they will be law-abiding, productive and divine citizens.
It was against this background that 2 dynamic and dedicated young men who have the conviction that upholding biblical truth and caring for the development of one another is very essential to promote national youth ministry formed the YOUTH ON FIRE MINISTRY (Y.O.F) S/L.

The late Collins James and myself formed this ministry on October 2, 1998 at Sumaila Town in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The aim was to bring youths together from different churches throughout our nation. Collins James was a military personnel who died in a rebel attack in 1999.

Youth on Fire is not a church but it is an inter-denominational, independent, indigenous youth ministry with a motto SPREADING THE PENTECOSTAL FIRE IN THE LIVES OF YOUTHS. We are a part of the body of Christ.

More over this ministry has a vision to PREACH THE WORD REACHING YOUTH FOR CHRIST DICIPLING THEM AND MAKING THEM BECOME PERFECT IN CHRIST JESUS.

Our mission is to WALK ALONGSIDE LOCAL CHURCHES IN THE EVANGELISM AND DISCIPLESHIP OF YOUTHS, DISCIPLING THEM AND MAKING THEM BECOME RESPONSIBLE IN THEIR LOCAL CHURCHES.

The sole purpose of this ministry is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to young people through crusades, youth seminars, youth praise outreach festivals, hosting bible quiz competition among churches and football competition among churches also. This ministry will host Soul Winning Conferences. We have recently produced a Soul Winning Card. Youth on Fire will host films in different areas of our nation and establish small cell groups in various communities.

Finally, as our God is so good He has sent us favor through a ministry called SWAT. The Soul Winning Attack Team, Inc. is an evangelistic ministry. This was a divine plan of God as they are now helping us in diverse ways to foster God's work on planet Earth.
