To celebrate its 27th anniversary, the Love One Another Campaign (LOAC) on Monday 9th December 2025 organized a press conference at the Conference Hall of the Sierra Leone Association of Journalists on Campbell Street in Freetown to inform the media about the first Agape Week to be observed in Sierra Leone.
The theme for the first Agape Week to be observed in Sierra Leone is ‘Sustainable Peace Through Love,’ which Dr. Bell, the Founder and National Director of LOAC, underscored is the only sustainable peace in the world, enlightening that forgiveness and reconciliation, the need for all Sierra Leoneans to love their neighbors, demonstrate unconditional love and a thanksgiving service should be demonstrated not only during the Agape Week but going forward.
The National Director is also optimistic that Sierra Leone would export the Agape Week celebrations not only to other West African countries but even the entire African continent and beyond.
The mission statement of the LOAC is to influence the Sierra Leonean society to inculcate the attitude of love by introducing, disseminating and promoting Godly principles, practices and teachings.
By so doing, Sierra Leoneans everywhere and at all levels are given the opportunity to clearly visualize their identity and origin so that God Himself, in whose image man was created, will empower them to love one another and enable them to achieve sustainable peace and development
According to the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LOAC, the first Agape Week to be observed in Sierra Leone would start on 16th December 2025 with a debate, march pass of 1,000 school pupils from 50 schools in Freetown from the Victoria Park to the Prince of Wales School, Kingtomto be followed by a Talent Show.
He went on to disclose that during the march pass, the salute would be taken at the Law Courts Building and that the Chief Minister, the Mayor of Freetown and other dignitaries, have consented to witness the event and make statements followed by the Awareness Raising Dinner in the evening at the Radisson Blue Mammy Yoko Hotel, Aberdeen in Freetown.
Dr. Bell continued that this year’s Agape Week would also include plans to establish a Counselling Center for Kush victims, recalled how LOAC catered for over 150 Ebola orphans, five of whom (all girls) are now in university and two in Medical School and reveal plans to setup a club for persons age 70 and above.
He furthered that he received the revelation from Ezekiel 13:11 to return home and form LOAC while worshiping in a church in Germany to peach to every Sierra Leonean about the need to love one another even as God loves them, that his first assignment was in Kono District where he preached to ex-fighters to lay down their arms at the end of the civil war adding that he visited all the fourteen chiefdoms in Kono District.
He also informed that LOAC has constructed a school (Nursery to Senior Secondary) in Kono District with over 700 pupils.
Mr. George Williams, the LOAC Project Coordinator highlighted the various projects the organization is operating nationwide including vocational training centers, a bakery, support to the King Georges Home for the Aged at Grafton, the Albino Association and donation of relief items to fire victims in Campbell Street and Brookfields respectively.
Other ongoing LOAC activities are the House of Hope Skills Training Center for Women and Girls in Magbenteh, Bombali District, the Agape Technical Training Center in Kenema City and the Technical Vocational Training Center in Bo City.
