The Battle Intensifies
Monday, 19 March Denu, Ghana A life of faith is not a life of one glorious mountaintop experience after another,like soaring on eagles’ wings,but is a life of day-in and day-out consistency; a life of walking without fainting (see Isaiah 40:31 ). -- Oswald Chambers The work of the Gospel here has been met with some opposition. Last night during the showing of the Jesus Film in one of the villages Andy and his team witnessed the power of God in a wonderful way. After the preaching of the word, a certain woman responded in faith but testified that she...
A Culture of the Supernatural
Sunday, 18 March Denu, Ghana God has supernaturally gone before us, preparing the way for the Gospel. As of Sunday morning we have seen 14,319 individuals indicate their “first-time decision” for Jesus Christ! There are some interesting things that always happen behind the scenes on our projects. Often we talk about God going before us, but we are not certain what all of this means. Today, as I sat down for our mid-point conference, Rev. Dr. Sammy Lartey shared with us some of the wonderful things that God has been doing for us. “your God, who goes before you on...
The Blessing of Smooth Roads
Sunday, 18 March Denu, Ghana Sometimes it probably seems boring to read the updates from this project. Thus far we have had very few obstacles, hindrances, or difficulties to our ministry. I do not remember a time when things have run as smoothly as they have so far on this project.

In the weeks (and days) leading up to our departure for Ghana...

As the day goes on the hot sun is a reminder that we must find a place of cooling shade and...
This … Is Ghanaian Idol
[Denu, Ghana, Mar. 15] -- I guess some of my readers are watching American Idol.It has always amazed me how captivated some people are by that show. Today I was noticing that people here in Ghana are also captivated by their own idols. So very many people here are still held captive by the devices and deceptions of the Enemy. Nearly everywhere we travel we are coming face-to-face with the shrines that people have built trying to appease the spirits and gods of their minds. It is sad to see people living in mud houses while they have built block...
People Still Coming to Christ!
[Denu, Ghana, Mar. 15] -- Our project in Ghana continues to move smoothly. This is, I know because of the intense prayers of our friends around the world. We are all thankful for you remembering and praying for us and the work of the Gospel. Without your continued prayers our work would be in vain. Our school ministry today took us to a variety of places. Jeff shared the Gospel with a school that was situated alongside the ocean. It was great to be with these students as they sat on the beach and listened to the message of Jesus...
