We give God all the glory for what he is doing through the church in Accra<\/a>, Ghana, and for the souls he has added to his kingdom this year. So far, five people have been baptized, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who reached out, prayed, and studied the Bible with them. It is always humbling and joyful to witness how a perfect God continues to work through imperfect vessels for his glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Zedekiah, Ernestina, Vivian, Tryphosa, and Chris \u2013 may God’s grace continue to strengthen, inspire, and ignite your hearts for him, and may more souls come to know Christ through your lives and examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the Scriptures say, \u201cWe were therefore buried with him through baptism into<\/em> death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.<\/em>\u201d \u2013 Romans 6:4 (NIV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please join us in prayer for more additions to God’s family in Accra. May God continue to strengthen his people and expand his kingdom in English-speaking West Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
