Smooth Roads & Good Company

Bob & John H.  giving cookies to Bible Club Children

We are currently on our way to the South. We will be meeting Jesse as he comes to translate God Story in more languages and the South Fork team as they come to minister in the villages. Before that we plan to spend a couple of days looking for a generator.
Bob & Emmanuel were able to re-run the wires from the Small House and Training Hall so at least, as long as the generator is running, they will also have electricity. Praise God our water and electricity both have been very stable recently.

            God has gone before us and smoothed the roads. There has only been about 50 miles or so that had rough roads and the ‘road crew’ was putting dirt in the holes through that! We have passed through Techiman and should have smooth roads all the way to the outskirts of Accra where they will be unfinished again for a ways.

            Kalpohine Day Nursery opened their doors yesterday but will not ‘officially’ be open until 4 October. Pray for the teacher, Rashida, Paul, her helper, and Pastor Alex.

            Seedling Kids Academy has been open  for a couple of weeks already. Please pray that God will send a Godly person to be Thomas’ assistant to help take care of the children as he teaches.

            Please also pray for Simon J. He has Hepatitis and what appears to be a mass on his liver. He is traveling to Accra tomorrow to see a specialist.
          Remember the Kpendua community as we go there to help strengthen the one Christian family and prayerfully add to their number.

Growing the Kingdom!



Sunday Afternoon Baptism


Rock Bible Club brought 15 youth to be baptized and an additional 10 adults from the church last Sunday!

The last couple of weeks have been great with Susan & Phillip here from Adventure Church. Their marriage conferences were very diverse with each group, depending on the needs of that particular group. Some didn’t give them much time for the teaching, some took them in one direction while others wanted help in another direction. Their last night brought MANY questions and was a great way to end.



Steve is also still with us while he teaches this year at the Baptist Seminary. He is also our ‘computer guru’ which is how we are managing this new thing.

We went to Galenshegu, Gua and Kpendua on Thursday and returned home Friday. The South Fork team will be ministering there during their trip. Each of these communities have small church families and so want more teaching. It will be a lot of fun spending some time with them.

We returned home in time for the Zone Leader’s meeting. These guys are great and we began planning for next year’s Zone Rallies.



We also had a meeting with God’s Will Day Nursery which is the school Kalpohine Baptist Church has been running as a free mission school for several years. Now the church can no longer support that. Seed Ministry is going to help them bring the school up to higher standards using the ‘pilot’ school program we have been working on with Thomas’ Seedling Kids Academy. We are excited to be helping with another Christian school.

We had our 2^nd God Story training yesterday and gave out another 22 Mega Voice Messengers. It is always a joy to see the Bible Club Leaders and to hear their testimonies.

Prayer Needs:

·       We travel to the south this week to pick up the South Fork Team. Can hardly wait for them to arrive!



·       We will be searching once again for a generator (Bob continues keeping this old one chugging for now)

·       Jesse will arrive in Tamale on Saturday with 2 of his pastors. God Story will be recorded in more languages!



·       Toby, Joy, Seth & Caleb have now sold their house (PTL) and are living in an RV. They also have a place to park their vehicle while they are in Ghana and a room to store their things they are keeping.  They arrive in 51 days!!!!!

Today I was at Seed Ministry and had a good day.

Now learning how to blog!

Mid-September Update

It has been a VERY busy few weeks! Bob has worked so hard getting the Guest House repaired, the electricity wiring rerun, the plumbing, etc. etc. etc. I honestly do not know how he manages to keep his mind when you watch all that is going on around him. Because even with this extra stuff to do, all the other work must still go on!

• Lameshegu Church building has been started and the foundation poured but the trucks cannot get in to dump the fill rock so he has had to pull the masons off for awhile waiting on the rains to stop.
• The extra wall support seems to be holding very well. Praise God for that.
• We’ve been meeting with each of the Zone Leaders to hear about their year and their plans for their zones. That’s a real time consuming thing but it is also such a joyful thing for us because we get to hear MANY testimonies of how God is working through them in their zones. Specifically this year we are asking how the God Story is helping them, their Bible Clubs, their churches and their communities. They have a vast amount of praises for the way people, Christian and non Christian alike will sit and listen to it. They are playing it for the children and the children will sit and listen very carefully to not miss any. They are playing it in their churches; some are playing it after the service has ended and the whole church stays to here it. They are playing it in their villages at the places where people just sit to talk (you know like the old ‘Liar’s Benches’). They say some folks will get up and walk away but most want to hear over and over. Across the board, they keep wanting them to repeat the Creation up to the fall of man.
• John H and I have been diligently working trying to get all of the administrative stuff caught up again. We are just a few days away from the actual launching of our new Ministry Activity Program! Thank you Chip, Roger and Teressa!!!!! The goal of this program is to track ALL of our ministry activities in a single Access database and we are so close to being there.
• Dr. Steve has arrived and is staying with us while teaching at the Baptist Seminary. He has also helped us with some additional questions we had on Access and is encouraging us in moving on with this.
• Phillip and Susan have arrived and have completed a week long Marriage Counselor’s Training for 5 couples and are now leading Marriage Conferences in several churches.
• Thomas and John spent a few days in the Yama/Wungu area visiting the clubs and going ‘overseas’ now that there is a bridge there. Please be praying about this area as we are looking at starting more Bible Clubs there. But this is still another people’s group so it will mean God providing the right people for us to work with there.
• Herb left us to go back to the states. It was great having him around again. His driver’s training was good for the guys but might have added a few more white hairs to Herb! He also helped with the first God Story training and the giving of the first of the Mega Voices.
• We will have a 2^nd God Story Training on Sept 25 to give out another 30+ Mega Voices!
• Meanwhile, we are also preparing for the first teams coming in October. South Fork arrives the first week with 18 people! At the same time Jesse arrives to start more recordings of God Story in other languages. He usually has 2 pastors at a time with him. Adding Steve to that mix and we will have 22 folks here! That will be the most we have had for ministry at one time and we are EXCITED.

Think about (and PRAY about) all of the different ministries that will be going on in that ONE week! Steve teaching pastors, Jesse recording God Story, Church Leadership Conferences, Evangelism, First Aid, Ladies Ministry, Children’s Ministry, Lameshegu Church building, Seedlings, Preaching, Going into schools, Encouragement, Helping Others… I can’t even sit here and think about all of the different types – is our God the most AMAZING God that could ever be!!! How some cannot believe in Him, I will never understand.

On the down side, there has been some sort of ’24 hour bug’ going around and we have nearly all had our fair share of it. Prayerfully, it has now finished its stay and will go away.

On the UP side, Toby, Joy, Seth and Caleb will be here in exactly TWO MONTHS!!!!! Praise the Lord!!!

Thank you to each of you who continue to support us in prayers, encouragement and financial support. We truly know how blessed we are because of your obedience to what the Lord calls you to do. May He bless you abundantly.

Reaping in joy,

Bob & Bonnie

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
