Over 20 years ago when Lorraine first visited Africa the Lord gave her a vision.  She saw the development of a piece of land to further the glory of God. The land was developed with farming, livestock, and workshops.

 

During a visit to Sierra Leone in 2023, Lorraine was really moved by Holy Spirit and was reminded of the vision, and really felt that this is a vision for now.

 

We see the next step for the ministry to be the fulfilment of this vision.  We have launched a  5-year project called "The Promised Land Development Project."

 

Following the recent acquisition of a piece of land in Kailahun, the plan is  to develop the land, build a Christian Training Centre and develop a Missionary Training Program. This will create a hub for discipleship training in the area where we operate, as well as utilising the land to create and launch a number of micro-enterprises such as farming, soap making, bee-keeping and purified water sales. The overarching aim of this project is to make Maranatha Christian Outreach Ministries self-sustainable, so that disciples will continue to be made for many years to come, without reliance on international donors.
