Fante Class and Evangelism

Today, I woke up at 7:30 A.M. I had set alarms for 6:50, but I turned them off and went right back to sleep. It is a good thing today was not as busy, or I would have gotten up late. After I had gotten up, I read my Bible, and I was ready for the day.

We ate breakfast, and since the morning was not busy, I studied my Fante for a while. We started Fante class at 10:00 A.M. Starting today, I am doing a thirty minute lesson before everyone else so that I can get caught up. At 10:30 everyone joined, and we had a good two hours of Fante class.

After Fante class, we had leftover pizza from yesterday’s lunch. The pizza was just as good today as it was yesterday. When we had finished lunch, I got ready to go out on my first evangelism, since arriving in Ghana. We tried to do some evangelizing a week or so ago; but it was raining, so we had a Bible study at the church.

While out evangelizing, Bro. Arhin was able to lead a man and a woman to the Lord. Meanwhile, Prince, a boy from the church, and I were able to pass out over fifty John and Romans. When Bro. Arhin had finished witnessing and praying with the new converts, we continued walking down the road, passing out tracts and John and Romans as we went.

Not too long after we started walking again, we found a young man, Samson, and an older man, Mr. Charles. Bro. Arhin allowed me to start witnessing to them. I asked them a few questions, and they immediately said they were saved. Bro. Arhin said usually when people say that, we will ask them to tell us their testimony. I started with the question of “When did you get saved?” They did not have a response. Bro. Arhin proceeded to witness for thirty minutes in Fante. When he came to a close, the two men were both having trouble. They did not know wether to believe what they already knew or to believe what we were telling them, the truth. When Bro. Arhin finished witnessing, the two men were still stuck between beliefs. The men asked us to pray for them to make the right decision. They asked us to pray that God would show them the right thing. We prayed with them, then went on our way. PLEASE PRAY that God would work on their hearts and send a very strong conviction. We are planning to visit them next week to see what God has laid on their hearts.

After we had prayed with the men, it was time to head home. We had been evangelizing for two and a half hours, and we were ready for supper. When we got home, we told Bro. Ruckman of the two who had gotten saved. We also told him of the two men who requested prayer in making the right decision. After we had told Bro. Ruckman the requests, we all prayed for a few minutes for those who had gotten saved and those who need to get saved.

When we had finished praying, Bro. Arhin went home, and we ate supper. We had spicy jolof rice and chicken. After supper, Bro. and Mrs. Ruckman had a counseling session with a couple who is getting married in two weeks. The man is a member of the church; he is saved, but the woman is not a member and is not saved. PLEASE PRAY that she will get saved and that God would bless their marriage.

After they had finishing the counseling session, we watched a tv show, and we all headed to bed. I took a shower while they were counseling, so I feel like I am ahead this evening. Tomorrow, I have to get a lot of studying in. We have Bible Institute on Saturday. I am thinking I will have at least two quizzes, maybe more. Hopefully I can do well. I am taking on a huge load with all these classes, but “with God, all things are possible.”
