We enjoyed a time of remembering the Lord with the Bible Fellowship in Ghana. It was lovely to realize again that God gave His one and only beloved Son for our sin.
The team choir led by Craig sang 2 songs for the assembly during the Bible hour, which they seemed to very much like. Bethany , Esther, Laurie, Megan,, Lisa, Brian, Bruce, Jerry, Heidi, and Cisley all helped to do the Sunday School classes on the theme of the Wordless Book , making up felt books to give the children as a reminder of the lesson. There were many children divided into 3 classes of about 20-25 children per group. The younger classes were age 4-7 yrs. , while the next group was ages 8-12 and the teen group was ages 12-14 yrs. Any who were 15 or older joined in the adult meeting. The children were a joy to teach as they were both enthusiastic and well behaved.
The team cooked a nice lunch/supper of chicken noodle soup and grilled cheese sandwiches shared with the Ghanian people who had remained behind and the boys that live with Daniel Webster. One of Daniel’s boys , Prince was feeling well enough to join us for the meal, after being down with an attack of malaria. This disease is as common among the Ghanian people as the flu is to us in North America. They all get it at some time or other with recurrent attacks throughout their lives .
In the evening we heard from 3 of the elders in the meeting who gave us a history of Ghana and an overview of their culture and the work of the assembly here in Kumasi It was very good for us to know these things that will help us reach the Ghanian people with the gospel more effectively.
Daniel also shared about the culture and what we could expect as we go out to evangelize. The Ghanian people are very friendly and are often willing to take literature and to speak with us. Tim spoke to us about how to clearly explain the gospel message. Tomorrow , we will all go out into the area to do some evangelism and look forward to what the Lord will do both for them and in ourselves.

Greetings! JJ asked a prayer group I manage, to pray for you all in your efforts in the gospel. I am posting these updates as I check for them. Your travels were hindered to get there, so this must be a work that our adversary has taken notice of.
