Missionary Letter:
Dear Brethren,
Again, we appreciate your sincere prayer and material support. The Lord has been good to us, continues to be a blessing, and strengthening us daily to keep going in ministry.
In the month of June 12 - 19, I traveled to Techiman about 8 hours drive away to teach APOLOGETICS at the Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary. CBTS under the leadership of my American son, Pastor Steve Volante has been training a lot of men who are actively serving the Lord on the field.
This month July 4 -9, I taught DOCTRINE I at our New Life Baptist Bible Institute here in Apam. The three men who have completed their first year of doing pastoral Theology are so happy for their call. Three men are standing by to start their first year of school in September, if all goes well prayerfully with their requirement.
We had a wonderful joint Baptismal service (Apam and Mumford) last Sunday, July 4th in the Ocean. Four persons from Apam and three from Mumford. Wonderful testimony.
Our outreach Church plant in Kasoa has now been blessed with a new local missionary pastor. Brother Prosper is now serving with them. Six out of Brother Prosper’s nine children are all in school (elementary, junior and senior high). Kindly pray with him for financial support to help with the kid’s education.
Pastor Isaac and Deborah’s marriage. Isaac’s folks came officially on Saturday July 10th to KNOCK, to declare their intension. We warmly accepted them as our tradition demands. A date for official ENGAGEMENT was set for Friday, September 17th and WEDDING, next day, Saturday September 18th. Please be in prayer with them and for us all for all the preparations.
Our ministry car arrangement is prayerfully in the making. We are following the Lords leading in all the process. Thanks for your prayerful cooperation with Pastor Jim Kester and the First Baptist Church of Oxford, MI for the funds raising. We are hoping that before this month July ends, we would have gotten a new car for ministry. We will surely keep you informed.
Thanks, God bless and more later.
