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 2nd 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!!!!!
