Dearly Beloved in Christ

Season’s greetings in our Redeemer and soon coming king’s Name.

 

A Unique opportunity in 2004:

Dr. & Mrs. Gainer and Bro. Walker Harris from the USA were here to help our people in income generation projects such as baking, cold store facilities, etc. We were in the States' this past summer to share with most of you what the Lord is doing, and your support was very great. You donated materials and funds to make our work a little easier, God bless you all.

The shipment got here in November and even though most of the donations were exempt from custom duty the vehicle was not. We ended up selling it to pay for the duty. But as the Word of God said “All things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose” Rom 8:2 We still need a very good vehicle for the ministry, a mini-bus that can seat between 10 to 12 people will be great but it must NOT be older that 1995.

We praise the Lord for the fast growing church planting ministry in northern Ghana, a total of seven churches in 2004.

 

The Mission Clinic:

We need a permanent Medical Officer for the Clinic, be in prayer with us, even a short term Nurse will do, from two weeks to one year etc.

We need various drugs and anything that will help us to better serve these deprived people. We need Microscopes and blood testing equipment. We thank the Lord for all those who gave us various medical items during our trip to the USA this past summer.

 

The New Churches:

We went to Northern Ghana on November 29th. I met with the pastors to encourage them.

We visited both the old and new churches, 12 people accepted the Lord as their Savior in a town called Chamba, twenty eight miles east of Salaga and 6 people accepted the Lord in a village called Beposo. The Beposo church which is Emmanuel Bible Baptist Church has Bro. Timothy as leader. The Chamba church has no leader yet, but there are young men there who want to be trained. We urgently need regular support for these men. At least $50 a month will be fine. There is also a youth training center in Chamba that a literacy organization want to turn over to us to help train the leaders in northern Ghana. Be in prayer with us.

Motor Bikes and Bicycles are still needed for the effective work in Northern Ghana. We brought few with us.

Below are pictures of some of the old and new churches.

 

Bips & Bips Sec/Tech:

We now have 12 students in the Bible school. The 2005 Annual New Year Pastoral School will be from February 3rd to 8th. We expect the number of participants to exceed that of 2004.

We are expecting some brethren from the USA here towards the end of January and the first two weeks in February to help with the pastoral school and our next trip to northern Ghana.

Please let us know if you want to be part of these unique opportunities.

We now have 46 students in the high school. We are expecting more students when school re-opens on January 10th 2005.

Be in prayer for the new principal Sr. Harris, she is a real testimony.

The school received it first National award under her leadership when the school was invited to a program organized by the Ghana ministry of Education to promote discipline in the youth. Our school was judged one of the most disciplined schools in Ghana. To God is the Glory.

 

Building Project In Progress:

We praise the Lord for the donations of materials and funds for this very important project. May the Lord bless you for the unique role you are playing in this project. Please pray and continue to give whatever you can. Please, those of you with the coins cards, send them in. They will help with blocks for the second floor when we complete the concrete work. Little is much when God is in it.

 

The Radio ministry:

We are getting good feed back these days from our listeners. Continue to pray for financial support for this ministry. We also need blank cassette tapes.

Thank you all for your prayer and financial support. May the love of our Lord Jesus Christ fill your heart and home at Christmas time and the New Year.

GLORY TO GOD ON HIGH AND ON EARTH PEACE AND GOOD
WILL TO MEN!!!

P.S. NEED FOR MISSION SECRETARY/TREASURER.

Brethren we praise the Lord for the help Mr. & Mrs. Holmes gave to us for the past two years.

They have informed us that they will be moving to Virginia in March 2005. Sr. Holmes’ health will not allow her to continue the Mission work.

We therefore need very Urgently a Secretary/Treasurer, on a part-time basis.

Please let us know if you can help. You can email or call the Office on 410-536-0332 for details.
