In my 33 years of ministry, never have I seen a morning like this one! My team set out before 8am and was scheduled to speak in a school only about 20 miles from our hotel. Little did we know that those twenty miles would take us no less than three hours of travel time. For the first ten minutes of the journey we were on a good road, BUT THEN …
Our adventure took us off road into the middle of the African bush for the next three hours over some of the most treacherous terrain on which I have ever experienced. We were so far remote that we went over 2 hours without seeing another human being! I jokingly told Ebenezer (one of our beloved pastors) “We are now BEYOND the Great Commission!” To which he replied, “Yes, Dr. Roy, we go where others refuse to go.” Such is indeed the work of Global Evangelism Ministries.
Our entire team has settled in well in the Ashanti Region of Ghana. The medical clinics began on Thursday morning to overflow crowds of would-be patients. Our American personnel is working wonderfully with the three capable Ghanaian physicians. The initial morning clinic saw of 200 people indicate first-time decisions for Christ. Remember each person who sees a doctor or nurse also is presented with a clear gospel presentation.
In addition to the medical clinics we have three teams going out each day to conduct school ministry and two teams leading in film crusades each evening. As of the posting of this blog we have recorded over 2,650 indicated first-time decisions for Christ.
Please continue to pray for us as we minister in Ghana. The spiritual warfare has been, and continues to be intense for us. I will share more of the stories of the battle in upcoming blogs. Until Jesus comes, I remain
Yours, in the fulfilling of the Great Commission,
