Ghana Updates

[Koforidua- Ghana] Yesterday we received disturbing news from our national director, Rev. Sammy.  He informed us that sometime during the day he had been robbed of nearly $500, which is a great deal of money here.  Apparently someone entered the church where the team is staying and stole this money.  While there is no way…

[Boti Falls – Ghana]  The beauty and wonder of the Lord’s creation is a sight to behold.  After a morning filled with school ministry our entire team — both American and Ghanaian members were able to stop by and visit the majestic Boti Falls.  This beautiful double waterfall, which cascades over 200 feet to the…

There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain. — Isaiah 4:6 NASB [Yilo District – Ghana]  Sometimes, just for a bit, I forget where I am.  Our teams have been coming to Ghana, multiple times yearly, since 2000.  Jeff and…

[Korforidua Area- Ghana]  This morning was “market day” in this particular part of the area.  The streets were teeming with vendors of every imaginable sort.  People were coming and going, buying and selling all kinds of things from vegetables to vehicles.  It was the center of commerce for most of the morning. As we were…

Our first full week of ministry came to an end on Saturday, 15 March, as we left the Palm Hill Hotel and started our journey to the next place of service near the thriving township of Koforidua. Upon our arrival we noticed an unnerving sight of the American flag flying upside down — the sign…

Another day of school ministry is complete. On the surface the day was uneventful and ordinary, but in the eyes of heaven it was very significant and extraordinary!  When combined, the Jeff Andler and Roy Mason teams were able to share the Gospel with over 2,500 students and teachers today!  What an extraordinary opportunity. Too…

“Gonna kick of my shoes and run in bare feet where the grass and the dirt and the gravel all meet…where the blacktop ends.”  Keith Urban sang these words and I am sure he did not have Ghana in mind, but it certainly fits. Today was as typical as it gets in field evangelism.  After…

The sky darkened, the winds blew, and the rains poured from the heavens with an intensity that I have never seen.  The lights of the celestial fireworks were both impressive and unnerving.  Such were the sights and sounds of last night in Ghana!  Needless to say the weather forced us to cancel two of the…

[Akuapem, Ghana] — Today has been our first full day of ministry.  The day began with school ministry teams led by Jeff Andler and myself, while David Ney did a dental clinic.  All-in- all, we have been able to share the Gospel with over 3,200 people. It is obvious in this area of the country…
