Our January Prayer Letter marks one of the busiest and most encouraging months of our deputation journey. God has been incredibly faithful, and we are grateful to share what He is doing as we prepare to return to Ghana, West Africa.
A Busy Month Across the South
January was one of the fullest months of deputation so far. I was in nearly every state south of the Mason-Dixon Line, presenting our burden for Ghana and reconnecting with dear friends along the way.
In just one month, we were able to present our ministry in 20 churches. Several churches voted during the service to take us on for support. What an encouraging moment that was! Other churches expressed strong interest in partnering with us soon. We thank the Lord for every open door.
Reaching the 50% Support Goal
Our goal has been to reach 50% of our needed support within six months. By God’s grace, we are getting very close to that milestone.
The Lord has blessed our efforts as we have worked diligently to fill the calendar and share the burden of West Africa. Please pray that the remaining support will come in quickly so we can return to Ghana as soon as possible.
There is much work waiting:
- Church planting
- Training national pastors
- Bible institute development
- School outreach ministries
The harvest is ready, and we are eager to return.
Full Schedule Through June
Our calendar is currently full through June. However, if your church would like to schedule a future service or missions conference, please call me at (936) 275-5177.
We would love the opportunity to share what God is doing in Ghana and how your church can partner with us in reaching West Africa.
