MM

God has been so good to us this October. We’ve been through a lot but God has seen us through. The church is still moving. As you can see, we had our first wedding here. The bride is a member but the groom is not. In Ghana Christian tradition, the marriage ceremony must be held in the bride’s church. So 90% of the people were from the bride’s relatives and not all of the groom’s guests and relatives are our members. Our members are about 30 people only. But this wedding enlarged our vision.

We are still working on the written constitution to be sent to our leaders for final approval. Once a constitution is approved by the leaders, we will officially register the organization. Ghana has so many churches but the biggest problem is lack of proper education for pastors especially my generation of pastors.

So next year we plan to have a website and brochures to adopt small churches under us. We will train the pastors of these small churches and give them the logistic supports that they need to be more effective in the ministry.

Also we would like to start long distance MA Misiology program. This is a program people can hardly wait to get involve as I’ve been hearing it. So I’m in talks with people who can help us start that. This will end up being a school and hopefully university! We serve a big God!

Mission Motivators – School of Missions, Graduation

Last Novemeber 27^th , I flew down to Davao, Mindanao to attend and participate in the Graduation of batch 17. It was one of the best graduations which I have attended, with a very challenging message by Dr. Paul Kim the founder who spoke about the challenge of missions and how God blesses those who give unto His cause and how we ought to be become channels of blessing rather than receivers! Wow, it really challenged me to have more faith in God and to look to Him in a greater way!

Dear Pastor,
greetings from macopa!
we are glad to send you some of our photos in the mission exposure. so
far, the staff and students are enjoying the whole mission exposure
including some hardships. in diwalwal last week, we went from mountain
to mountain to reach the souls. it was hard to do hiking on the cleft
but we made it. some of us get colds, fever and cough because it was
so cold there but praise the Lord, we are all fine and okey though
some are still having cough and colds like me and my husband.
here in macopa, some got stomach pain and diarrhea maybe because of
the water so i decided to buy mineral water. anyway, praise the Lord
for those souls we planted the seed and we harvested. praise God also
for those people whom God used to provide the needs while we are here
in te field. some gave rice, vegetables, vian, fruits and some treat
us for meals and gave other things.
we are now o the third week and everyone is enjoying.

with all these, i want to give God all the glory!

Praise the Lord for what He has done for June 2009.  Though there are struggles but we are victorious indeed. We celebrated Ardent’s birthday (our School Director’s son) on June 6 at the one of the pride of Samal which is called Hagimit waterfalls. This is a good time also for everybody to unwind from the works and studies in the school. We finished four subjects, Primary Health Care by Mdm. Jean Gauran;  Global Leadership by Sir Glen Bell Velasco; Newsletter Making by Mdme. Louielyn Taraon; Christian Leadership by Mdme. Yolanda Balana; and Discipleship in Mission by Ptr. Ike Enriquez.

The Friday evangelism such as bus, market, hospital and boat evangelism is still on going and we are soon to launch the campus ministry. Praise God that though the enemy is trying to stop us in the area of finances, he never victor. Sir Jhovan, our Field Ministry Staff; Sir Roggie, our Chapel and Music Director and Sir Jun, our School Director are bringing the students to the areas of their evangelism through motorcycles. It was tiry physically but praise God for the strength He is giving. Thank you sirs, your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

This month, we had the candle lighting and washing of the feet during our Wednesday prayer, we did also the prayer walk early in the morning. We have started also praying for the right place of the mission exposure on October believing that the Lord will continue to intervene. And this month, we celebrated with Sir Roggie, our Chapel and Music Director and Mdme Louielyn, our Assistant Senior Staff the big event of their life on June 27 as they were bonded together in the Holy Sacrament of Matrimony. Praise God for the victory!Indeed, the God whom we are serving is faithful and great!
