Ghana Updates – October 2021

“Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful.” (1 Corinthians 4:2)

Introduction

The Lord requires that all of us who have been given trust at all times will prove faithful. Lord helps us to be faithful and trustworthy stewards of everything you have placed in our hands.

Speaking Engagement on Television

Samson was on one of the local Television Stations in the Northern Region of Ghana to assist in speaking on the Kingdom of God discuss what it is, its Characteristics and the lifestyle of citizens of the Kingdom of the God. After the program the first people to call were not Christians. Some of them said “indeed, we have learnt something significant through your presentation”

TTI Training of Trainers

The Timothy Initiative had a second TOT (Training of Trainers) for the southern Ghana hub and Samson was asked to be a part of the facilitators. It was exciting discussing portions of the first two books of the 10 books curriculum. Discovery the Bible and Communicating the Bible were the books that were discussed. After the program the Director wrote Samson and said “You are a great leader. I am confident God will do great things through you”

Seed of Hope Radio Broadcast

The Lord has continued to show us His grace and mercy through our weekly radio program dubbed The Seed of Hope Broadcast. Week after week there are calls into the program by both Christians and non-Christians to appreciate and affirm the fact that they are being blessed by the program.

Pastors and Church Leaders Equipping

Samson had the privilege of facilitating three separate leadership equipping sessions for Pastors on understanding tithing and generosity and the need for carrying on the great commission through personal witness and evangelism. Some feedback from these sessions include “ I use to have a narrow view on tithing but I now know that it was pointing to something bigger in the new testament. Indeed, if you are faithful in little things you will be put in charge of great things”

Church and Community Development

As part of their week celebration, the youth in the church decided to work on the pot holes on the community access road which goes to join the main major road in the area. This offered them the opportunity to interact with both citizens and non-citizens who used the road that day and it made sense to them about lessons they had earlier on taken in Community Health Evangelism.

Leadership Development

The core group of youth who are working on becoming church planters continue to meet weekly to be trained on basic strategies including Discovery Bible Studies and the concept of identifying a person of peace among others is progressing steadily and we are trusting the Lord for results soon.

 

Prayer Needs

• Continue to pray for the Timothy Initiative trainers across Ghana that new believers won from their work shall be well disciple and new church plants will spring up across the region.
• Keep praying for the Seed of Hope Radio Broadcast that as we engage more with the listeners Christ will be glorified and souls saved.
• Pray for the leaders who are being raised that they will become effective catalyst for seeing disciple making movements take place across the region.

Yours in His Vineyard
