Saturday Night Live!

[Agbozume, Ghana] --6,834 indicated first-time decisions for Christ. 

We have made it through our first week of projects.  Saturday is never a busy day because the schools are closed.  We were, however, able to do two film crusades .  Tonight I was sharing in an idol rich village where the people have placed all their trust and hope into the hand-carved statues.  Many of the statues look like the simple souvenirs that many of our past team members have innocently bought.  The one here though are thought to have special powers of protection and salvation.  Although you and I know that the only real protection and  salvation comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, these primitive people are still searching for some kind of hope.  I am thankful that God has given us the opportunity to stand and boldly proclaim the truth of the Gospel.  It reminds me of the great privilege our heavenly Father has given me, our team, and this ministry.

Some of you are asking about Sammy and I am happy to tell you that he has delegated much of his (and Simon's) usual responsibilities to two of our district pastors -- Jacob Yakabu and Ebenezer Agblezer.  These two choice servants are young men who, I believe are the future of our ministry leadership here in Ghana.  They have studied hard under Sammy and Simon and will one day be ready to fully take the reins here.  Once again this proves that God is always going in front of us to plan the steps He has for us.

Tomorrow morning some of our team will travel into Togo to meet with Pastor Bright and others.  Bright has been working with us in Ghana on the last three projects and his been constantly asking us to come and consider beginning an evangelistic work in Togo.  His sweet spirit has always been an encouragement to me.  Please pray with us about this future possibility. I want us to remain true to our motto of "Going where others dare not go!"

Each of our team members are doing great.  Both Nick and Andy have settled in wonderfully and are sharing the gospel with power and authority.  My dear friend Jeff Andler is, as always, a complete joy and powerful preacher.  I am truly thankful that God brought our two lives together back in 2002.  If I am not mistaken this is our 18th project together in Ghana.  

Please continue to pray for us and the ministry.  Pray for God's continued hand of protection upon us … our health and safety … our families at home, and  … the anointing of God upon His message of grace and salvation.
