Can God Be Trusted?

The Psalmist wrote, “O Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do.” Psalms 139:1-3 NLT Through the years many of you who read, follow, pray, and support our work around the globe have said, “Is it safe for you to travel right now? Each of us greatly appreciates your thoughts, love, and concern, but I want to remind you of the scripture...

The Work Begins

After months of preparation and anticipation our ministry team has arrived in our next place of service in Nkawkaw for a time of field evangelism and outreach. The labor of our national team is proving to be a great blessing to us all. We spent the weekend in Accra where we had a much needed and well deserved time of leisure fellowship and joy. The time around the table was enlightening and encouraging as we planned for the future work here and beyond. It was wonderful to discover the new found freedom each of these choice servants of the Lord...

Gearing Up for Ghana

In just a few days we will be in Ghana where we will participate in our 2nd project of this year. There have been battles and challenges leading up to this, but we are certain that God’s grace will, once again prove sufficient. It is comforting to remember that the battles do not belong to us but to our Heavenly Father. Please continue to pray for us and ask God to manifest Himself in glorious ways. Our entire leadership team in Africa have worked diligently to make certain that all the necessary preparations are in place. We are looking forward...

Building A Proper Team

Over the past little bit, I have been teaching on sticking to the basics. As I inch closer and closer to my next ministry project overseas, I have become more and more aware that the need for an efficient and effective team is critical. For too long I have seen myself and the sole responsible person for problem solving, and the like. I’ll bet most of you can understand the feeling I have operated under. It was selfish and flawed. I was reading recently and came across this statement that really jolted me into deeper thought. The paragraph read: Jesus...

The Countdown Begins

As we come to the end of summer and schools are getting back in session it reminds us that the time is nearing for another ministry project to West Africa. Because of some security concerns we have been advised not to give too much detail about the exact time of our project, but suffice it to say that our team is gearing up and looking forward to another wonderful opportunity to share the Gospel. Our national team, under the direction of our new Director, Ebenezer Agbleze, has done an excellent job in preparing for our arrival. His is a great...

Basics of the Basics

There is a common story in the New Testament that is referred to as the Parable of the Good Samaritan. I’ll bet most of you remember it. What you might not remember is that the parable is really an illustrative answer to a simple question that a religious expert asked Jesus. Here’s the story from Luke chapter 10: One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” The man...
