I first of all want to thank God for his mercy towards us. If it had not been for Him we could not have succeeded in preaching the gospel and bringing the good news of salvation to thousand of those who were perishing.

I must say ISOB is the instrument God is using this end time to spread his word especially in West Africa and the world at large.

In the first quarter of the year we printed over six thousand copies of different ISOB books, which by the special Grace of God has enabled us to have continuous studies.

This year has seen the expansion of ISOB to different West Africa nation and we thank God for his Blessing.

There are now ISOB centers in Guinea, Ghana and other West African region who are effectively using the ISOB materials in their life studies.

Thousands of additional books were printed with which we use to equip the other centers when they have need for such materials.

Thorns to Fruit is another inspirational piece of booklet that every body wanted to lay hands on.

ISOB was able to save the face of the only Christian college in Sierra Leone that was about to face a serious set back due to the age old materials they were using.

Four thousand books were printed which was supplied to the whole of the college center that are all over the country.

Today the Freetown bible training college is using materials gotten from ISOB.

Slowly and must assuredly, our materials are fastly dominating the churches today. Not because they are given free or for a little cost but because of the simplicity and easy to understand method of teachings.

These materials are so inspiring that when once you started to read it becomes difficult for you to set it aside.

Above all God's hand is in it and we can sense the anointing of God through these words.

This year ISOB has enable me to travel to Senegal, Gambia, Ghana and Guinea were I with the help of the Holy Ghost, successfully lunching ISOB and I must say effective studies are going on in those places.

Today we have five districts in Sierra Leone that have the presence of ISOB and who are doing very well with the exception of one. The city is excluded.

There are now twenty learning centers in Sierra Leone and we would be concluding six of the eleven books of ISOB.

These materials are an eye opener to most Christians and non-Christians. There are testimonies of how God has been manifesting Himself in the lives of many.

As ISOB extended to other West African nations and pastors began to request for books, we have to supply materials to these nations from our bookstore to enable them start up a discipleship program.

We did not only shipped the books requested, ISOB provided for my visit to these countries where I personally start or launch the studies. Today Sierra Leone is proud to have all these notions study with ISOB springing from them.

The demand for books increase and when these needs arises I always approach Bro. Larry and ISOB who always step in to print more books.

Thorns to Fruit has been very inspiring devotional, and many are calling for copies.

A great work, which ISOB did, was to save the only Christiana bible college we have in Sierra Leone. This institution was at the brink of collapsing because of her materials, which were as old as the college.

The Director had about our organization wasted no time to call and pleaded that I ask ISOB to help salvage the situation they find themselves.

I told Bro. Larry about the plight of this college and he wasted no time in helping them print four different copies of our materials {about four thousand copies} with Thorns to Fruit which student in this institution have a copy, others are even going photo copy just for them to have a copy.

I have been called to teach in this institution, which is a very big blessing to me. Save the neck of this college was a blessing in disguise.

An old lady who heard our radio discussions as we encourage students to apply for the college that there are fresh materials and different courses, who herself was once a student in this college and was praying for this college, She called on my phone one morning and told me that God laid in her heart to give her building to any one that will help this college, I was surprise but she was very serious, she gave me her address and say "pastor come for the keys".

This was very timely because at that time the rains were so heavy that some of our stored materials were beginning to be affected. O it was timely because this was a big problem to us, not knowing that God was working on our behalf "God moves in a mysterious way His wanders to perform".

I was surprise with what I saw, after collecting the keys I was driven to the heart of the city and shown a whole apartment that it belongs to us for a whole year, thank you Jesus.

We wasted no time in moving the books and mount our ISOB sign board in front of the building of which I have send pictures to Bro. Larry.

We pray that we all will meet in Liberia in August were we will have a wonderful time of fellowship together.

May God bless ISOB and all who are putting their funds together to bring the Gospel to the lost souls. Amen.
