Dearly Beloved;
The Scripture said; “Distribute to the necessity
of the saint; given to hospitality” Rom. 12:13.
The apostle Paul in the above text is speaking
from experience.
Welcoming strangers i.e. other believers
and even non believers is at the core of Biblical Christian
hospitality. As the word implies, strangers seem strange
to many Christians, they view them with suspicion, they are
afraid to risk getting close to people who are different from
themselves.
As the result many Christians fail to provide
the kindness to guests that is the foundation of hospitality.
To the Quarshie’s HOSPITALITY is a core part
of the ministry the Lord has given to us.
This year we have already had
brethren from Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa and Indiana.
Mission Team from Emmanuel Missionary Baptist
Church -

This is the third Mission group to visit
us this year; Pastor Goodner of Mt. Elm was the

Fondren
The group arrived on the 19th of May. On

The Lord has brought a more mature man to
help with the work in Northern Ghana, Bro. Johnson. He is in
his 50; s. I am giving him special training, his attitude towards
the Word of God reminds me of when I got saved in the 70’s.
Pray for Bro. Johnson. Since he is starting the work in a village
where most of the people are blind including their chief. The
problem is from the water they drink.
