Update From Ghana 2/19/2011

[Atebuba, Brong Ahafo Region, Ghana] The morning started out with our team breakfast at 6:55. This project requires us to travel from our Guest House to a “restaurant” in this town of Atebuba for all of our meals. The cook and her helpers are doing a marvelous job in feeding us and the food has been very good.

Following our meal of oatmeal, fresh fruit, toast, juice, and coffee we set out for the medical clinic in the area of Bantana which was about 2 hours away. The road to this village was pretty rough and very dusty. I tell you all of us looked like we were native to Ghana by the time we arrived in Bantana, because of the heavy dust and dirt that covered us!

Upon arrival in this village our team began sitting up for the clinic with teamwork and precision while Ebenezer corralled the awaiting crowd for the presentation of the Gospel message. Through his able gift of interpretation I was able to present the life-changing message of Jesus Christ with those waiting to see the doctors and nurses. The crowd consisted of Muslims, nominal Christians, and traditional fetish people were all attentive to the Word of God.

By the time we offered them Jesus, no fewer than 100 people indicated that they had prayed and asked Him into their life! I never cease to be humbled and amazed at the absolute power of God in drawing men and women to Himself by grace through the presentation of the Gospel. It reminds me over and over again that all that is required of us is obedience and trust in the sharing of the Word of God.

Please continue to pray for our team and the project. Thus far we have witnessed a total of 6,713 individuals publically indicate their decision for Christ! To God be the glory!
