Church Verification Report

What we checked

• Not a duplicate: no similarly named church is listed with us
• The name reads as a real congregation
• Contact email reviewed (gmail.com, common for small churches)
• A Facebook page was provided; Facebook blocks automated reading, so it was weighed through the independent search
• Independent web search performed: see the findings on the right

What we found

We searched for "Rhema Saints Int'l Church" together with Lamin and the Gambia, and found no listing, news item, directory entry or map result for a church of that name anywhere in the country; the Gambian results that came back were unrelated bodies such as Catholic parishes in Lamin (gcatholic.org, Banjul Diocese site) and Latter-day Saint branches (news-africa.churchofjesuschrist.org). Our attempt to confirm the Facebook page facebook.com/rhemasaint returned only similarly named but clearly different churches, including Rhema Christian Church & Tower Int'l in Nigeria and Rhema congregations in the United States and South Africa, so we could not verify that this specific page exists or belongs to a Gambian congregation. A search combining the name with the pastor's name "McKeown" surfaced only the historic Ghanaian missionary James McKeown and the Church of Pentecost (Wikipedia), with no link to Lamin. The findings are summarized here for space; the full research was weighed in the review.
