Newsletter:
The month
of June is great time of refreshing to me and my staff. I had the privilege to
attend West Africa Church Planting Summit in the first week of June, and
together with all my pastors and workers we attended an International Pastors’
Conference called “Iron Sharpens Iron” in Accra. We had wonderful times in these
conferences, and this will take us to some level.
Ministry Activities: In June, we began work on our longstanding vision to
build a clinic for rural communities with the population over 85,000 people.
These communities have no access to health care facilities, and as result have
been recording high rate of premature deaths. When we took the Gospel to them,
this has been their felt priority need among many others. We started by making
some blocks this month, we believe to continue and get this need met in due
season.

Heath
Screening Free HIV AIDS Test: We provided free Voluntary HIV /AIDS Testing
for our church community in Accra. Many people turned out for the exercise to
get tested for the first time in their lives. They were all excited to have
known their position and status in the regards to this pandemic.

medical team.
Visit
to the Aflao Church. Grace and I paid a visit to the Aflao Church for a
revival meeting and the turnout was very great. The Church has really been
growing greatly. Pray with us, there is an urgent need of expansion for the
church, and more chairs needed. Many lives are being touched daily. Accra church
is also moving forward, and the Lord is adding to the church daily. Partner with
us meet the needs of the growing churches. For photos of the Accra Church, see

Newsletter
January 2008.
Yes, the
first month of 2008 “Our
YEAR WITH
ROOM
TO SUPERNATURALLY
FLOURISH”
has come to an end with tremendous things.
First week was a strategic pastors’ seminar with teachings, prayer and planning
for the year. We had a wonderful time with the Lord in this seminar, it took us
5 days. After, there are great revivals in all the churches, with great hunger
for many more souls! Yes, Lord give me the souls or you take my life!
Accra
Church: The new church in Accra is doing wonderfully; the membership now
stands at 56 in 2 months. We outgrow the porch we are using as a meeting place;
we urgently have this pressing need to move out the church from the porch in
order to arrest the increasing growth. Some stands under few tees on the
compound far from the porch to partake in the worship and hear the word as a
result of lack of space and chairs in the porch for them to come in. We need US$
500 to make a local tent for the church which will accommodate 250 people. Other
needs include a Set of Drums at US$ 400, Piano US$ 300, Combo US$ 250, and 30
chairs at US$ 12 per one (1) chair. “The small mustard seed is growing into a
BIG tree!” be part to accomplish it.
Achievement in other Branches: In order to sustain the increasing growth in
our branch churches, we are able to provide 3 Sets of local drums to 3 churches,
namely Avakorme, Agbadzikorpe, and Aveyiborme at the cost of US$ 500 in the
month of January 2008. We are also able to buy Set of Drums for the Togo church
at the cost of US$ 400.
Vocation School: Our vocation school is doing well changing the poor, many
single poor mothers and youths are coming to the school in increasing measure,
but our current need is support for the teachers. US$ 50 a month will help
support one teacher.
Orphanage: The orphanage is progressively on course, we hope to move in the
kids by May when things work well. Very soon our home for 70 children will be
ready for use. See Details
Pastoral Needs: Our pastors have sacrificially been laboring all these years
with no support. Though they have no supports, they are very loyal and dedicated
to the work of the Lord. Please join hands with us to care for these one who
gave themselves to the Lord and His work. Between US$50 - US$75 will help
support a pastor a month. Shallom!
