Rev. Angie Myles, COTN–Sierra Leone Country Director
Rev. Angie Myles was born and raised on the island of St. Lucia, in the West Indies. At the age of sixteen, she set off to a larger island—England, where she began nursing school. In 1966, she became acquainted with Joe Myles, a native of Sierra Leone who had also gone to London to pursue his studies. In 1968, Angie and Joe married, and in 1970 they returned to Sierra Leone to raise a family. They now have four children and four grandchildren.
Before coming to Children of the Nations, Rev. Myles worked for the United Methodist Church (UMC) in their medical department, where she eventually promoted to medical coordinator. In 1983, the Lord gave her a vision in a dream; she was shown parts of heaven. When she woke up, it was impressed upon her to read Revelations 4. As she was reading, everything she had seen in her dream was written right there in Revelations. She thought, “Could this be, Lord? Is this really what you were showing me?” At that moment He impressed upon her that heaven is real—and so is hell. He said, “Now go and tell my children.” At this point she wasn’t exactly sure what He meant, so she continued on at UMC.
However, in 1999, the Lord again came to Rev. Myles and told her to get ready for a change – and in order to prepare herself, she should fast for forty days. After the forty days, He gave her instructions to go into children’s ministry. She remained with UMC, but out of obedience switched departments, moving into Children’s Ministries. Three years later, the Lord told her it was time to leave UMC. Stepping out in faith, she quit her job, not knowing how God would provide or where she would work.
She took a trip to London to see her son, Jeffery. Through God’s divine appointment, she was seated next to Chris Clark (founder of Children of the Nations) on her return trip. Impressed by Rev. Myles’ vision for Africa and her heart for children, Chris invited her to come see our Children’s Home in Marjay Town, outside Freetown. During her visit, Chris shared that Children of the Nations was currently seeking a new Country Director. She applied and has been with us ever since.
