Ghana Update – November 2019

“For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today?” (Deuteronomy 4:7-8)

Introduction

As we get closer to the month of December and the end of the year we say thank you to the Lord for how far He has brought us. Indeed, His faithfulness and mercies are beyond measure.

Induction Service

Samson and his family was inducted into office as the Pastor of the Janjori Kukuo International Baptist Church. They take this task at a time that close to over 100 villages in the District where the Church is located have no Church or known Christians. Pray alongside that with the help of the Holy Spirit his family will assist the Church to influence these communities with the Gospel of Christ through diverse strategies such as Bible storytelling, Discipleship Making Movement, Discovery Bible studies, Community Health Evangelism, and Sports evangelism among others.

Pastors and Church Workers Conference

Samson and Isaac part in 4 days Pastors and Church Workers conference held in Tamale. It was organized by the McFadden Ministry in collaboration with Seed Ministry. Samson was the winner of the Memory verse challenge on the last day of the conference. There were several lessons (Take aways) that were taken including “for the word of God – God said what He really meant and He meant what He really said” and lessons Christ taught Peter and is teaching us today include submission, restraint, humility, how to genuinely love and the need to be compassionate.’’

Time With Missionary Trainees

It was a wonderful opportunity for Samson to spend a full week facilitating and sharing with missionary trainees at the Globe Serve mission training centre in Tamale. Reflections on the Book of Acts and Church planting brought a great awakening to Samson and the trainees in relation to task the Lord Jesus behind for the Church to accomplish.

The program was under the theme: Rediscovering the kingdom of God to promote greater works.
