Ghana Update November 2024
Community Outreach
It is a joy to see those trained living out what they have been taught. The young men in a local Church did some series of outreaches to the communities, they have been reaching out with the love of Christ.
On one occasion they went to one of the communities with health kits to assist them to know their vital signs, after which they do a simple Gospel presentation and then pray with them.
In another community they went with a barber from the Church to give children in the community haircuts to make them look beautiful and handsome. Little did they know that God was going to use this simple act to minister to the community in His own way.
We are looking forward to seeing new church plants in these communities, with currently over 99% non-Christians, we believe that these acts of love have made the people very open to the Gospel.
Radio Truly Make a Difference
It is always amazing to see and hear what the Lord is doing through the weekly Radio Broadcast dubbed “Seed of Hope Broadcast.”
Places we never thought we would be accepted to preach the Gospel and distances we never thought we could cover are all through the power of radio receiving signals of our weekly broadcast.
Countless testimonies are received week after week from both Believers and non-Believers about the impact of the broadcast on their lives. “A woman called into the program one of the weeks on the just ended series and said ‘I wished everyone who is already attending Church will make time to tune every week and their lives will not be the same. I say this because sound doctrine is what is taught here and most people even though they go to Church, they sometimes don’t get such teachings’”
Another man called and said, “I am not a Christian but listening this program today, I can confidently say that this is what the world needs.”
Raising Tomorrow’s Leaders
The Lord will always count on man as His worthy representative on earth who will carry out His mandate as if He Himself is physically present on earth. It is for this reason that leadership development cannot be over emphasized.
It is a great joy when we have the opportunity to assist in raising people who strive in their daily lives to live like Christ in all that they do. As this is one of the effective means through which we can get the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ accomplished. Several leadership trainings and activities have been carried out to help us see this happen.
A Gift That Looks Insignificant but is Very Powerful
When the ideas of helping orphans with a gift of goats as a means to show them Christ’s love and empower them for a brighter future I was very skeptical thinking that they might need something more than just a goat. However, some few years down the line I am more than overjoyed whenever stories of just how a goat has impacted not just the life of the orphan but an entire family and in some instances a whole community.
We have children who would not have been able to get their educational needs met going all the way to the senior high school level and beyond.
Prayer Needs
- Pray for the sustenance of the Radio Program- that nothing will stop the weekly program from being on air and impacting lives.
- Pray for a peaceful election in Ghana and the process of it before, during and after shall all bring praise and thanks to the Lord.
- Pray for all evangelistic activities in the nation, that it will be used by the Holy Spirit to convict people unto the saving grace of Christ.
Yours in His Vineyard
