Another Bend in the Road

This ministry in Ghana has been an incredible journey. We have been able to share the Gospel with 155 different groups of people where we have seen 34,158 individuals indicate their first-time decision for Christ. (We still have one more film crusade scheduled.)

The school ministry has now concluded. We have a travel day tomorrow as we move to Akosombo for our final night of ministry. While there we will have the opportunity to see Pastor Simon Akpolu (who was injured on July 18 when he lost control of and wrecked our Land Rover.) Although his initial condition was grave the reports of his recovery have been remarkable. I look forward to seeing him and praising God for this miracle.

One of the most rewarding parts of this trip has been the opportunity we’ve had to share a New Testament with nearly every person who has made a decision for Christ. We have given scripture to every person in the schools, and have tried to get this in the hands of each person in the evening film crusades.

My heart has been thrilled to see the way people have expressed their hunger for their own copy of God’s Word. The students in the schools have followed us to our vehicle as we have left waving their hands to each one of us. None of them has been without their copy of the New Testment in their hands. Some have even asked if we could give them and extra copy to share with their parents.

When I think of the way most people in the US take their Bibles for granted I am reminded that having God’s Word in our hands is a sacred privilege. Let me encourage you to always keep copies of the scripture with you so that you might share it with others. http://www.pocketpower.org/ is a wonderful resource for doing this. Here you are able to get free scripture portions as well as other great evangelism tools to use everyday.

I want to personally thank every person who has been apart of our ministry here in Ghana. As you can see, it is not always easy to get around in this country, but God has always proven faithful to us. He has provided exactly what we have needed, every step of the way. Some days, He’s had to provide extra “man-power” just to get us to our assigned location.

Thank you again to all who have helped us. So many of you have been praying for us (please do not stop now) and so many others have given financially to keep this ministry “Going where others dare not go!”

Let’s keep our minds and hearts focused on all that God has in store for the coming days.
