School Service Continues!

The month of April was full of activity at “our” school.  God continues to reap and bless his harvest, the latest is another teacher, Mr. Zachariah we will call him.  He didn’t participate in the classes we taught, but was found frequently outside listening to what was being said.  One day, when I was teaching [...]



School Doors Wide Open

Opportunities continue to expand at the school that we are teaching Nursery 1 and 2, Primary 1 thru 6th, and now Junior High 1 and 2!  In addition to Bible lessons, we are integrating English and exam taking skills as the Junior High classes are getting ready for exams to compete for entrance to Senior [...]



Expanding Service by God’s Grace

I have been concerned about my time spent in ‘ministry’ (all time is the Lord’s, but my heart is to be available to people looking for true answers to life’s most difficult questions).   God always provides in ways that will further His purposes and meets the desire of our hearts that align to His will. My close friend told [...]



Building Relationships for the Love of God!

This past month has been filled with meeting new people and building relationships.  The above photo is a football match I attended between my home church, and a village we are serving. My home church finally won after losing two times earlier in the year!My “little” Joe’s Dinner Ministry is turning into quite a gathering [...]



Before the Center of Good News came, “It was like living in a hole.”

In 2005, the Center set out to make a difference in a very poor district in Northern Ghana about 150 km the Center. The above statement was made by the leader of one of the seven villages we visited this week. As we talked to all the community leaders, the same sentiment was expressed in [...]



Did I say Life was Fragile Here?

I had my day all planned out; at least I thought I did. God had another plan. Anyway, Rev. arrives early this morning, about 7 am, requesting I be ready to leave in 20 minutes for a dear friends burial. She had just passed and he had gotten the news late. I said sure. I [...]

Super Spiritural & Super Human–NOT!

We are all the same, not one of us is better than the next! We all have the same basic needs and desires. We each have our strengths and weaknesses; none of us is perfect. We all can have mountaintop experiences and all stumble at times too. We are to honor those in authority over [...]



Praying for September 2009!

I have an exciting announcement. While our prayers are reaching those hurting in Ghana, personally, my heart aches being 7,500 miles from those God has called me to express His love and care. So, I am very pleased to announce that my oversight team (Sr. Pastor Bevan Unrau and Jim Marmion with Rev.’s input) has [...]
