Dear Ones in Christ,

"Then Abraham looked up and saw a ram caught by its horns in a bush. So he took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering on the altar in place of his son. Abraham named the place "The LORD Will Provide." This name has now become a proverb: "On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided."

Genesis 22:13-14

JEHOVAH-JIREH, God always provides adequate when the times come. God has blessed us richly and He will do great things this year.

On December 30th we fed about 75 needy people in the area. Our original plan was to do the feeding before Christmas but it pleased God that our container containing the rice would not arrive in time. We took a special Offering to buy rice and fish and then asked all the ladies in the church to bring whatever the Lord laid on their heart. Please pray for the safe arrival of the container for we have not yet received it.

We started structural work on the school building project January 2nd. You can see that the Lord has provided the funds for the concrete and steel rods (the pillars) through your faithful donations. We continue to keep track of your names to place them on the walls inside the building.

After a short Christmas break, we reopened the school for the new school year of 2002. We are expecting more students, at least 50 for the high school and 9 for the Institute.

The Lord has done something special for us this past month. A document we have been waiting for since last year for the School arrived in December. It is a full recognition of our school by the Ghana Ministry of Education, " great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; and His greatness is unsearchable" Ps.145:3.

Praise the Lord for those who have sent the coin cards in and praise the Lord for bringing us into 2002. Pray for us for the upcoming year for God's wisdom and guidance in 2002.

And we pray that the Lord may place on your hearts a reminder to return the coin cards so that we may continue on with the high school building project.

Our next goal is to complete the frame structure of the building, concrete and rods, and to feed our workers which will amount to $5,000.

Pray with us that the Lord will provide the funds for slab work on the ground floor and the first floor before the next academic year in September when we expect new students, in the light of the fact that the school is now fully recognized by the Ghana Ministry of Education.

We now have a new website for the Mission. Please visit the site at http://www.particularbaptist.com/GraceBaptistMission/index.html . We will continue to update it with the current events at the mission.

Pray for the salvation of more souls through our outreach ministries. Pray for the pastoral training programme, we are getting more young men wanting to be trained as pastors and missionaries. We still need a Principal for the high school, be in prayer. We are also still in need of a college for my daughter Deborah. Pray for wisdom and strength for Laura, the Mission Secretary/Treasurer.

We had quite a number of funerals in December and this January which include a cousin and my 62 year old brother. The word was sown in these funerals and we know the Lord has ministered to many. Thanks to all those who sent us messages of condolence, God bless you.

Best wishes for the year 2002 as we labour together for the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

Thanks again for your part in the work of the Lord here in Ghana.

In His Grace For His Glory,

Noah Quarshie (pastor)
