This week, missionaries and leaders in the Sierra Leone Bo Mission expect the number of convert baptisms to exceed 10,000 since the mission began two years ago.

Bo is the second-largest city in Sierra Leone, and the Bo mission covers the southeast portion of the West African nation, having been created from the Sierra Leone Freetown Mission in 2024.

Since the mission was created in the summer of 2024, 9,967 people have been baptized, with 170 people scheduled for baptism this Saturday, Sierra Leone Bo Mission President Scott L. Wyatt said.
