New Generator







     We were sad to say good bye to the South Fork Team but we had to and they are now safely home and back to their own busy schedules I am sure. As always, they did a great job of ministry while they were here.

      A real PRAISE is we bought the generator while we were in Accra!!!! Bob, Thomas A, Emanuel, Peter A. and the Tractor (thank you New Holland) got it unloaded and hooked up. Bob tested it running and we actually had better power with it than with VRA these days!



      Steve and Jesse and the pastor’s seemed to make it ok while we were in the South. Again, we praise God for our staff and the job they do taking care of people. Steve has finished all of his prep work for his classes and has begun to count down his days. I know his family is also counting. Jesse has finished his second language and now starting on the 3^rd. He is counting down the days until his wife, Karen, arrives. I think she gets into Tamale on the 29^th. It will be good to have her around.

      Of course, we are counting down the days until Toby, Joy, Seth and Caleb arrive!  Only 24 to go!! It is going to be great having them here. Great, obviously, because it has been a long time now since we have lived close to any of our children. But also great that ‘help is on the way’! That is the catch phrase of the day between us right now. There are many people who need to hear.  

      Do you feel the URGENCY? Do you really BELIEVE that our GREAT time of rejoicing is coming soon? We believe that so much and every time we think of it, we just feel the URGENCY more and more. Go and tell someone today!

Revelation 22:17 (NIV)   The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.







Malaria and Praises

Installing the Galenshegu Water Tank

What a wonderfully strange week we have had. The bad part of the week was that Steve, Bob and I all had malaria. Praise God for His healing through modern medicine that we are all three back 100%!

      Yet, even with that, ministry continued. Jesse and the two pastors were able to complete the recording of the God Story in their language, Steve still managed to make it to class to teach, and South Fork Team arrived.

      Of course, about one hour before they arrived our water went off. Then when they did arrive and walk into the house, the electricity went off. But they are troopers! Even with this somewhat stilted arrival after the long, hard drive, they were pumped and ready to start their ministry.

      And what a ministry it was! They visited schools and went into villages for a variety of ministries with children and adults. On Saturday they went to Galenshegu, Gua and Kpendua for these same ministries followed by Crusades that evening. They then spent the night in the village and worshipped with them on Sunday followed by a baptism at the river.

      It is always amazing the way God blesses us. It is hard to know who is doing the ministry and who is being ministered to. His ways are truly too incredible to comprehend.

      Another praise is about our staff and Seedlings. They did a great job taking care of the team. Even though Bob and I would have liked to be able to give out a little more TLC ourselves, the guys and gals simply took care of everything.

      Now we are on the way back to Accra with the team. It’s always hard to put friends on the plane and send them home, but we praise God for them and their ministries. Please pray for their safe journey back to their families.
