During his stay in Germany in 1997, Dr. Christian Tilly H. Bell was constantly asking God for the way forward in his country, Sierra Leone. He was led to a passage of scripture with the instruction: "Go now to your countrymen….take a message….whether they listen or not…." There was no clear message in this passage, only the instruction. He continued in much prayer asking God for th...e message. On
e week later, he received a message in a vision which read: “SIERRA LEONEANS LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS GOD LOVES YOU”. He then decided to obey God`s instruction. The first step in propagating this vision was the printing of ten thousand car stickers which he started circulating among friends and relatives in Germany, U.K, U.S.A., Africa and the Middle East. The response was very encouraging. In obedience to God, he came back home in September 1998 and shared the vision with friends and relatives. Soon a committee of sixteen volunteers was created. This committee then organized an official launching of the campaign on 16th December, 1998 at the British Council Hall in Freetown. This campaign, proved beyond all doubts, through various activities such as random interviews, street campaign, essay and poetry competitions that the absence of love in all strata of our society is the main factor responsible for the present predicament in Sierra Leone. Sierra Leoneans must inculcate the attitude of love (Agape) in order to usher in lasting peace, security, development and prosperity. Only this attitude of love will heal the wounds in this nation. So, Sierra Leoneans, Love one another as God loves you - unconditionally - and do so NOW. God bless us all.
