Grace Baptist Mission

First - The Office of Grace Baptist Mission needed relocation because Sis. Marthat and her husband Bro. Van Holmes have stepped down due to ill health.

They brought Sis. Amy Kiefer to us as the New Secretary /Treasurer. Originally we were hoping Bro. Joe Souder and his wife Shar would be able to help, but because of their new born baby they could not help.

Please be in prayer for Sis. Amy. And also make note of the New Mission Address which at:

The Second purpose was to attend the Grace Baptist Mission Board Meeting. This year's meeting was well attended - for which we praised the Lord. We would like to encourage the supporting churches to send delegates to the annual meeting. We want all the supporting churches to be part of the decision making of the Board.

The third purpose was to take Deborah back to PCC.

She returned to the States in July and we spent some time with her in Indiana. We left her there and continued with our trip. We met her again in Atlanta, Georgia and went with her to PCC on September 1^st. We left PCC on the 3^rd of September after making sure that all was well with her. Be in prayer for her as she studies Mission/ Broadcasting.

Enoch was not able to come this year. We trust he will come over next year. Moody Bible has registered him for the distance learning program. Pray for him - he is now helping me in the Office here.

The fourth purpose was to get support to complete the First Floor of our school building.

As a matter of fact, Hurricane Katrina had an impact in this area. We also had a lot of problems with our Dodge Voyager. The transmission went out when we went to Indiana.

In August it was rebuilt and we were given a one Year Warranty. But on our return from PCC the Trasmission went out again in Greenville, South Carolina. The man who rebuilt it in Indianapolis, Indiana refused to honor his promise, it cost us $2600 for the two rebuilding. We ended up renting a car for two weeks which cost us $500.

Praise the Lord, we have all the 5400sq.ft. of ceramic tiles for the school ground floor. Thanks to all the brethren who helped us in getting the tiles. It would have cost us almost $7000 to buy them in Ghana. To God be the Glory.

The School Building and the School update:

SPECIAL THANKS to all the pastors and brethren who help us raised the funds to ship the tiles for the school. We still need at least $2500 to clear the supplies when they arrive in the first week of November. We also need about 100 bags of white cement to lay the tiles ($1500). We will need $5000 for electrical, plumbing and plastering.

Please let us know if you would like to help. A brother and his wife from Calvary Baptist Church in Hummels Wharf, PA. are coming for one month, December 1^st to the 31^stto help us lay the tiles. We must have all the materials available for when they get here. Maybe you will make this a Christmas gift for our students and the ministry here.

We also want to encourage you to send in the Coins cards for the blocks for the first floor.

School has re-opened. We are now working on new admissions which will be completed by the end of October. Be in prayer with us.

Clinic Update:

Please continue to pray for a Nurse for this mission outreach.

We also need donations of medications like:

Drugs; De-worming medicines, Cough Mixtures. Pain killers like, Aspirins, Tylenols, Ibuprofens, Multi-Vitamins, Tums etc.
Lab equipment.
Batteries and more Solar Panels to run refrigerator for the Clinic.

The Churches and Pastors:

We are planning to go to the outreach in northern Ghana before the end of the year to baptize the new believers in Namu, Kpadja and Beposo. We could not get a newer Van to replace our current 1992 Dodge Van which is giving us a lot of mechanical problems. We have been able to buy overhauling gaskets, rings and bearings to work on the current Engine. Pray that it will come out fine.

Continue to pray for the men in training to lead the churches. There are others to be trained, but we need $50 per month for a Village pastor. Praise the Lord for those who are helping in this area - Jesus will repay.

We have other men in Accra undergoing pastoral training. Others are studying by correspondence.

The Radio Ministry:

The Radio station that is currently airing our program has increased the charge for airtime to $60 per week. Pray that the Lord will provide the funds for this ministry which is a source of blessing to many in the city of 4 million. We need sponsors, CDs. We still need cassettes, tapes, messages from pastors, et c to make this ministry more effective for the glory of the Lord. Thanks to those who help once in a while.

Please take note of the new address in the USA for The mission:
