Ghana Update – September 2024

REAL LIFE IN A SIMPLE GIFT

Most of the time things that are seen to be of value to others are insignificant in the sight of others. This is played out exactly in the goats’ project that U4A undertakes regularly. We have seen many appreciate a simple gift of a goat over and over again. However, something significant is happening not just among two or three families in the Gbulung area of northern Ghana. Beneficiaries of goats through U4A are not just hopeful for a better future in an improvement in their standard of living but they are also grateful through the project they are able to experience the unending joy of knowing Jesus Christ the Son of the living God. “We were initially excited about the physical gift of a goat, but after coming closer and asking questions as to why someone who doesn’t know you will be interested in your welfare, it led us to find something bigger than just a goat that we can only refer to as Real Life,” said by the grandmother of a beneficiary of the goats’ project. 

THE POWER OF RADIO

Little did we know that Radio had the power to touch a great category of people including those who would naturally not want to listen to you, those very far away from you and those who are secretly following to know more about what is being discussed among others. It was exciting to hear someone call from a distance over 150km to call in to say “Today is my first time of tuning in but I must say that some truths have hit me and I pray for grace to change.” Another person called and said “For me, I am not a Christian, but I have fallen in love with this program and I don’t care about the mockery others make about my love for this program”. 

LEADERSHIP CONNECTION

It was all joy when I had the privilege to meet with Rev. Moses Rianto in Nairobi, Kenya in person for the first time! This happened on the sidelines of the TTI Regional Leadership Meeting which was held in Nairobi East Africa. It was an encouraging moment sharing that brief time together and hearing what the Lord is doing and what He is yet to do in us and through us as we keep on holding fast to the Lord. We both are in anticipation looking forward to all leaders meeting one day.

PRAYER NEEDS

• Praise God for the continued impact that the Seed of Hope Broadcast is having in the lives of listeners that- the Lord will through it draw many to Himself and build up those who are already Believers.
• Praise God for the beneficiaries of the goats’ project that the Lord sustain the goats and cause an increase that will guarantee sustainable livelihood to take place in their homes.
• Ask for fruitful mission and journey mercies for Samson Abukari as he prepares to live for Sierra Leone to facilitate some TTI trainings.

Yours in His Vineyard
