Missionary Letter:
July 2008
Dear Partners in Ministry,
By His grace, we shall be in Monrovia Monday July 14 - 21. We shall speak to several Pastors that will be contacted. Pray with us that we will be a blessing to them as they will be to us. Your prayers have started working already. Some members of Grace Baptist Church of Yekepa - Liberia (My Sending and home Church) now living in the US have contributed some gifts by me to be given to the brethren. I wish the Lord will open doors for me to reach there physically. Nevertheless, we have arranged that three or four of the deacons including the pastor in charge may come to the meeting in Monrovia.
URGENT REQUEST
- 1. The fishing canoe of one of the faithful fishermen in our Church hit stones and capsized in deep seas and broke into pieces. Seven out of the crew of 8 came out safe. One is dead missing and have not been found up to now. Please pray for the crew and brother Samuel Owusu's family. Canoe gone, 2 outboard motors gone, nets, and cash of about $6,000.00 equivalent to have purchased other fish from large twallers in high seas were all gone. Sad but we praise God any way.
- 2. We had about six married couples in our Church plants whose wives were in a family way and we were praying for their safe delivery. Thank God they all delivered safely with two including our daughter Patience had to go through caesarean. One of the ladies Gifty by name who delivered through caesarean is been having some serious complication in the stomach after the delivery and had to undergo another surgery. She is presently in hospital bed in Accra and in some serious pains. They are new Christians and seem to be worried and going through financial difficulties (buying expensive medication and hospital bills). Please be in prayer with Kobee and Gifty.
We will get back to you all when we return from Liberia Lord willing on Monday July 21. Be in prayer with us.
John and Dorcas.
Lam. 3:25
