 It's Sunday night, and we've just completed our 75th ministry venue during this Ghana project. Thus far, we have, by God's marvelous grace, witnessed 14,604 people indicate their decision to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. It is a testimony to the wonderful power of God and the faithfulness of God's word. I never cease to be amazed at the response to the preaching of God's word in simplicity, with anointing. Remember: "The word of God never returns void."
This past weekend was filled with meaning and ministry. It was our team's great joy to lead in the ordination service of 15 of our pastors here in Ghana. This high day was especially meaningful to these choice servants of the Lord as friends, family and church members gathered to witness the setting apart of these pastors to the Gospel Ministry. These men, all pastors of churches planted by Global Evangelism Ministries, are serving in rural and remote village locations. Without much human attention or honor, they are completely rewarded by our Heavenly Father for their service and commitment. Each of these men have a very special place in our hearts and are being financially supported through many of your designated gifts through G.E.M. The service, which was held back in the town of Kpong, which was about 2 hours from our field hotel in Begoro gave our team a great opportunity for a day of rest at the Atimpoku Continental Hotel, which was like a day in paradise. We enjoyed hot running water in the showers and a different menu in the restaurant, and even an afternoon in the swimming pool! All of this, alongside the beautiful Volta River, was the backdrop of a mountain range. It was like a day of R & R for battle-weary warriors. We certainly did thank God for the still waters that restored our souls.
 We now have only 2 days of school ministry remaining, and 2 film crusades in front of us. I trust you will continue to pray for us as we begin our long journey home late Wednesday night. On behalf of Jeff Andler, Nick Ollila, Sammy Lartey and the entire Ghana ministry team: I want to express our deep appreciation for your faithful support and prayers. We have been strengthened, supplied and sustained by your outpouring of love. I look forward to seeing you all soon. Until Jesus comes, I remain,
Yours, in the fulfilling of the Great Commission,
