Merry Christmas from Ghana!
I pray by now you have received our Christmas news in the mail. So, I just wanted to give you a quick update on few church happenings and notes of encouragement of what the Lord is doing through our ministry here in Ghana.
Christmas Baptism… a Takoradi December tradition!
This last Sunday we continued our Christmas tradition by having a baptism at the beach. We joined together 14 people from out churches in Takoradi, Sekondi, Shama, and Daboase. It was great to see so many take steps of faith and public professions of their commitment Along with the rejoicing in the baptism, there was much swimming and serious football (soccer to you westerners). I posted a YouTube video at the link below.
Maryland Bible College of Takoradi - Fall Semester
It is encouraging to see the growth in maturity and understanding of our 25 Bible College students who have been faithful throughout the semester. These students represent not only our church but six different churches in the area. So we are truly being "ecumenical" in teaching the finished work message of grace in our region. Four of these students will be receiving four year Degrees and three at our January graduation ceremony.
5 Year Anniversary Celebration and Bible College Graduation
The weekend of January 9 & 10th we will be celebrating 5 years of ministry in the Western Region of Ghana. We ill also hold our first graduation in Takoradi to honor the faithful students and their families. Please pray for this weekend as we will have Pastor Scibelli, GGWO Missions Director, and several visiting pastors her to celebrate with us.
Have a Blessed Christmas.
