This is the theme of our message each day in Ghana.  We have seen ourselves in some very remote locations in the Yilo and Frantekwa districts of the eastern region of the country.  The weather has been favorable for our projects.  So far, we have not have had a single film crusade cancelled due to rain, although it has rained heavily each afternoon.  At the conclusion of Thursday night, we have spoken in 54 different ministry venues, and witnessed over 10,000 people indicate their decision to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.  This continues to be a testimony to the grace and goodness of God.  The message we preach is simple and clear and the choice of these dear people is a work of grace.  "Thanks be to God for His indescribable gifts!"

 

First time team member, Nick Ollila, expressed his amazement at the ministry by saying, "I am overwhelmed at the great number of people who are so eagerly responding to the Gospel message.  This place makes me realize how soft we as American Christians have become.  These people walk miles to come and hear the Gospel message, and in America, we can't even get out of bed on Sunday to appear in church!  In the midst of such great poverty and suffering, the joy on the faces of these people is a blessing to me."  Jeff and I can certainly testify that Nick has been a source of blessing to us.  He has eaten the food, endured the hotels, and eagerly traveled on all the bad roads without any hint of complaint.  He has done whatever we ask of him with determination and devotion. 

 

Until Jesus comes, I remain,

 

Yours, in the fulfilling of the great commission,
