Dear Brethren,
Christmas is a wonderful time to celebrate the presence of Christ in us, and the change He brings to all who know Him. As we give “thanks to God for His indescribable gift” (2nd Cor. 9:15), we deem it appropriate to look back to say “THANKS” to all of our partners in ministry who are helping us prayerfully and materially in reaching the unreached on this part of the globe. May the good Lord equally and richly bless you, your churches and families (Heb. 10:6).
Our Ministries have been great and challenging. His promised presence cheers us up and calms all ministry storms. “God is good and faithful” Our family is doing good physically and spiritually. Those who are by themselves are all serving the Lord with their families and blesses our heart.
WE PRAISE GOD FOR:
1. Beside others visits from some brethren which we have shared with you already, we also had good time of fellowship with Pastor and Mrs. Hammons from Laurel, MD. He came to teach the book Acts in our Bible Institute and preached our Faith Promise Missions Conference, November 7th-10th.
2. We also had an encouraging two days MABMI (GH) Field Missionaries Conference in Techiman (November 22nd-23rd). Two missionaries were interviewed and recommended for approval as affiliate missionaries. One, an Australian to serve in Ghana and one to serve in his home country, Liberia.
3. Praise God our long awaited 40 feet container loaded with Bibles, Tracks, Bible School Library books, some used clothing and shoes mainly for needy kids and other ministry needs arrived on the first week of November. The timing for its arrival was just good. Thank God for the provision He made for the clearing. We are sharing some with our church plants, MABMI missionary church planters and some Fundamental Baptist Churches in our fellowship. Kids in our church plant Bible Clubs are receiving VBS certificates, other gifts along with Bibles this Christmas season. We thank God for donors who provided to fill the container and the ministry of Rev. Tom Stubrich (Fellowship International Baptist Ministries, Box 360, Brookfield, O.H 44403) and his group for loading , cost of shipment and shipping.
4. We praise God for the opportunities of spreading the word. Freedom of worship has opened doors for several religious and mushroom churches preaching prosperity gospel and what people want to hear. We are indeed in the last days.(2 Tim. 4:1-4). We have not and will not relent in preaching the “WORD OF GOD”.
PRAY WITH US ON ACTIVITIES WE HAVE LINE-UP TO CLOSE THE YEAR 2011.
1. Last Saturday, December 17th, the Mumford church came up with a wonderful outdoor children’s Christmas program. Some parents came to see and heard the gospel preached.
2. On December 28th, Apam, Mumford and Winneba Churches will hold an outdoor “Nine Lessons and Carols”. Three choirs from the churches will sing, to glorify God.
3. December 30th, Apam and Mumford Youth will travel to Cape Coast to play football (soccer) with the Living Word Baptist where Pastor Miguel pastors.
4. We shall hold a special baptismal service on 31st night. Ten persons are expected to be baptized during the crossover service.
5. Our church plants get together on every January 2nd of the New Year for picnic. Church families and friends meet at our house at the beach side, to cook, eat, play games, share fun together and of course, challenge from God’s Word. This year’s Christmas day and New Year both fall on the Lord’s Day, Sunday. Looking forward to wonderful Worship/Teaching Services. Pray with us.
Thanks and More later,
WISHING YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011 AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR, 2012.
