Dear Ones in
Christ,
Greetings again to you all in our Lord
and Redeemer Jesus Christ’s Name
We can say with the Psalmist, "Bless the
Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, thou art very great Thou art clothed with honor
and majesty" Ps 104:1
First Mission Group from
Indiana:
On May 26th a mission team
arrived from Indianapolis, Indiana.
They preached at our school and the
public schools, over 30 children accepted the Lord.
On May 30th we took an
evangelistic and fact findings mission trip 500miles to an old.
Slave market town in the northern part
of Ghana, called Salaga. After we got settled, we were taking through the town
to see the places where the Slave Trade took place from the 1600’s to the
19900’s. We saw the Slave Market, both houses, wells, cemetery etc. The heart of
man is deceitful and desperately wicked indeed. We then traveled 33miles to
another Village where a young man by name Peter is starting new churches with
the help of five other young men. On the arrival the chief of the village and
his elders were in his court yard with his elders. Waiting for us . He ordered
that all the people must be gathered, both adults and children. After 30 minutes
of singing, Pastor Michael from Emmanuel Missionary Baptist preached.This was
about 6:00 pm. I had a small Inverter that operates with a car battery, but ten
minutes into the preaching one of the children out of excitement knocked it
down, Pastor Michael end up preaching with a flashlight. We left the village
about 7:30 pm and got back to Salaga.
On Sunday 31st May, we went
back to the village at 9:30 for Sunday school and Worship service at the Chief’s
court yard. OVERWHELMING CROWNED: Within thirty minutes of our arrival there
were more than 300. People in the court yard, both adults and children. By the
time of the morning worship there were over 400 people, some of the children
came almost naked, they came with what they have. We gave them some used
clothing after the service. To hear God’s Word. Over 40 children accepted the
Lord as their Savoir and 12 adults at the end of the service.
URGENT NEEDS:
The chief who was among the worshipers
told us the sad state of the people.
The nearest clinic or health post is 33
miles away, therefore if any of his people are sick, they have to put the sick
person on a bicycle because the roads are in bad state for vehicles to
use.
Women in labor also have to be put on
bicycle for a 33 miles trip to a clinic.
The chief is appealing to all of us to
help them with some form of medical help, i.e health post, clinic or drug store.
The situation is heart breaking Their schools are also in very bad state, they
need books for grades one to eight. They need funds for church building, the
Chief is prepared to give land for the church and clinic or drug store. There
are 17 villages under Chief of the Village called Lonto.
Please join us to help reach and win
these precious SOULS TO THE LORD.
The pastors only need $50 for monthly
support and bicycles to reach and minister to their people.
We return to Accra on June
1st very tied due to the condition of the roads in the northern
part of Ghana.
Pastor Michael group left on June
5th..Dr Gainer and His team. Dr Gainer, his wife and Sister Harris
arrived the same day that pastor Michael group left .They were here for eleven
days, teaching in the school. Dr Gainer came mainly to help our people to
develop their God given talents through his Macro-micro enterprise Development
.The workshop was organized on June 7th, seven churches
were represented with over 150 people in attendance. The program gave ‘real hope
to our people and it has helped them to realize what they can do with what they
have .The people have agreed to start with Poultry Project to be followed by
Bakery Project. Others are already producing Greeting Card. Dresses making, Real
estate development and Peanut Butter .We than the Lord for Dr Gainer, pray with
us for our people to develop these business to be able to support the Lord’s
work. This is Dr Gainer’s goal and ours too.
BIPS and BIPS SEC/TECH:
Praise the Lord for the new enrollment
in the Bible school, we had three new students in May.
We are also expecting the five
men-helping brothers Peter in the Northern Ghana to come in October for training
. We are also getting Enquirer from Nigeria and Pakistan. The Web site is
producing result, pray for sponsors for the students. The High School has 46
student but this number can quadruple or triple in September if we are able to
do the concrete work on the New Building. At the moment the work is at a stand
still due to lack of funds, we need $12,000 for the remaining four rooms. Even
$3000 can do one more classroom to give us three classrooms for this
fall.
Please those who still have the Coin
Cards can you send them in; "for little is much when God is in it" (current
status of the building is enclosed) We still need sponsors for six of the nine
orphan students in our school, at present we are sharing our little support with
them.
PLAN TRIP TO THE STATES AND SCHOOL FOR
DEBORAH:
God willing my wife and I will be
bringing Deborah over this summer.
Continue to pray for the Lord to provide
for her fees, she will also be going for her student Visa on July
7th pray that all will go well for her. Pray also for a permanent
base for housing and vehicle for our travel. Pray also for the Grace Baptist
Mission Board Meeting on August 29th.
"Oh by grace I am saved and are
living.
On the fullness of Love from above,
Oh He love and He gave and I
am having
On His grace, I be living all the Way"
