The World assemblies of Restoration-Sierra Leone (WAR-SL) is redefining its annual conference, set to launch soon, by weaving community health into its spiritual core. In a chat with Wake-up Sierra Leone, reverend James I. Willson, WAR-SL’s leader, unveiled plans to deliver free medical services and education, tackling gaps that plague the nation’s underserved.

We’re bringing doctors to teach pastors and believers about breast cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure real threats, Willson said, we’ll run a dental clinic, extracting teeth for 100 people at no cost. Plus, free breast cancer screenings if anyone tests positive, we’ll refer them and chip in for surgery.

This isn’t just a conference it’s a lifeline, by fusing faith with healthcare, WAR-SL aims to shatter taboos and arm communities with knowledge and access, the lineup includes screenings, treatments, and talks, all designed to hit diseases early and hard, especially for those priced out of care.

The event will draw pastors, believers, and locals hungry for both spiritual lift and physical relief, with medics on deck, WAR-SL’s breaking the mould showing churches can be more than pulpits, they’re betting on health as a sermon, reaching folks who slip through Sierra Leone’s patchy healthcare net.

Sierra Leone battles steep health hurdles cancer, diabetes, and more hit hard where clinics are scarce. WAR-SL’s move, blending spiritual gatherings with doctors’ know-how, sparks a fresh playbook, it’s a nod to what’s possible when faith outfits team up with medicine to empower, not just preach.

As the conference nears, Willson’s vision is clear: save bodies as well as souls, for a nation craving both, it’s a rally worth watching one checkup, one prayer at a time.
