Whole team assembled ready for action

Team members teaching "our God is so BIG"

Openair preaching in Dwabeng which attracted many

Beloved Brethren,
Firstly, thank you all for your prayers, they are of inestimable value to us as we labour in the gospel here in Ghana. Our day today went well, and as a bonus it was also less hot than usual. After spending time in the morning in fellowship, singing, prayer, and Bible study (in Acts), we had a Ghanaian dish for lunch, called peanut soup. This soup has peanuts, tomatoes, and chicken in it, and in spite of sounding like a rather odd assortment of flavours, actually tasted quite good. After lunch we all piled onto the bus (which thankfully has air conditioning), and headed to Dwabeng to do some evangelism.
At Dwabeng we split up, with some of the team setting up the sketchboard and presenting the gospel to the group that had gathered, while others of us roamed the streets passing out tracts and talking to people. You could pray for us that we would have good communication with the Ghanaians. English is their second language, and so some of them speak very limited English with very heavy accents. This makes it difficult to have very comprehensive conversations with some of them. We are very thankful for our Ghanaian brethren who have sacrificed their time to come with us to translate and to evangelize alongside us. Today all of the elders from the assembly, Ofori, Emmanuel, and Shadrach, all made time to come with us. Daniel Adjei, along with three teenagers from the church, Stephen, Isaac, and Philemon joined us, and have been a great help and encouragement both yesterday and today. Pray for the Ghanaian people, many of whom are trusting in their own goodness, and in their works for their salvation, that their hearts would be open to the true gospel, and to trust in Christ alone for their salvation.
Tonight after supper we went to Crown Prince School for the Tuesday night ‘Kid’s Club’. It is really amazing that this worked out at all, because it was originally going to be cancelled because of the likelihood of rain, but we went ahead with it, and prayed and God held the rain off for the Kid’s Club. We sang with the children, who were very enthusiastic, and shared the gospel via a puppet show and a sketchboard presentation. We handed out little gifts at the end, and the children are all bringing friends next week, so pray for open hearts and understanding of the gospel message.
There is much more I could say, but we are leaving early tomorrow to go to a school, so I must leave off typing now. Continue steadfastly in prayer for us, and for Ghana itself. There are so many people here who are willing to talk about the gospel, and so many opportunities to share Christ with the people. Pray the Lord of the harvest will send out labourers into this field. I am reminded, in the midst of our schedule of evangelism, of the infinite beauty of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the enduring power of the “glorious gospel of the blessed God”. I am amazed at the counsels of God in Christ, to craft a plan so marvelous as the gospel, that so exceedingly glorifies God, and so wonderfully meets the creature’s deepest need. It is simple enough for a child to grasp, and so deep that a lifetime is not sufficient to marvel in it. We can only wonder at God’s unbounded goodness, and thank Him for His eternal love in Jesus Christ. May it claim our heart more fully, that we shall always be witnesses of Him, whether at home, or to the ends of the earth, for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. Hallelujah, what a Saviour! Good night, dear brethren.
