Freetown, 7th February 2026- Harvest Intercontinental Ministries has announced plans to host a major international Christian conference in Sierra Leone, bringing together hundreds of delegates from across the world to focus on faith, discipleship, and national development.
The announcement was made during a press conference where church leaders outlined activities for the Great Commission, centered gathering, expected to attract more than 300 and possibly close to 500 international participants from six continents.
Speaking at the event, Rev. Abraham Felix Turay emphasized that the conference is rooted in Jesus Christ’s mandate to make disciples of all nations.
“Our mission is to reach every soul and equip believers to live Christ-like lives and serve effectively in ministry,” he said. “This conference will strengthen both the church and the communities we serve.”
Activities will begin with a mass rally on Sunday, February 9, with worshippers marching from Sakila Road to Waza, the conference venue, in a public launch of the event. The assigning Bishop and General Overseer will also be officially welcomed that day.
The main conference will run from Tuesday, February 10 to Sunday, February 15, featuring morning sessions at 8:30 a.m. and evening sessions at 5:30 p.m., including teachings, workshops, and spiritual training. The official opening ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday evening and is expected to attract government officials, senior ministers, and other dignitaries.
Organizers highlighted the economic value of the conference, noting that the influx of international visitors is expected to boost local businesses, hotels, and transport services.
“This is not just a church program; it is an opportunity for the nation,” Rev. Turay said, adding that each delegate’s stay would contribute to Sierra Leone’s economy.
Host Bishop Julius Laggah reflected on the growth of Harvest Intercontinental Ministries from a small fellowship into a nationwide movement actively involved in education, healthcare, humanitarian outreach, and media evangelism.
He also outlined empowerment programs aimed at women and youth, designed to promote economic independence and community development.
Through its radio station, schools, and college, the ministry continues to blend spiritual teaching with practical support for communities across Sierra Leone.
Church leaders expressed confidence that the conference would leave a lasting spiritual and social impact.
“Our vision is a world where no one lives or dies without Christ,” Bishop Laggah said. “This gathering will advance that mission while contributing meaningfully to national progress.”
The press conference ended with prayers for the success of the event and a call for the public to participate in what organizers described as a historic moment for both the church and the country.
