Ghana Mission Trip 2010

Hello Dear Followers of Jesus Our Savior,
Our Ghana trip was absolutely incredible! In this report I will describe some of it and also share some news on the Rwanda Orphan Facility. Be sure of this---our Redeemer Jesus lives and those who follow Him will not be ashamed, disappointed, or fearful of the future!
When we arrived in Ghana we prepared for a day in Accra the Capitol. I went to a church service there that was so full of the presence and power of the Holy Spirit that I got a good Jesus jolt before going up to the Northern and more Muslim part of the country.
In the North we based out of a Baptist hospital compound that gives incredible medical care to the poor, sick, and suffering in this poverty stricken area. It provides the only medical care of its kind within one hundred miles! This hospital and the American doctors that give of themselves to serve there are truly godly and amazing.
Seeing thousands of patients a week, they not only give of themselves, but they also share the Savior Jesus with the many including Muslims that come for help. I preached at the hospital one morning as they rang the bell to notify all present waiting on care that the devotions were about to begin.
Thankfully, the Lord gave me something in common with many at the hospital that day. You see, the night before, I began to get sick with a bug I picked up there. By the middle of the night I was spending most of my time in the bathroom praying at the toilet. So when I went to preach at the hospital in the morning I was sick too! This gave me a good starting off point to tell the people that not only were many of us sick that morning, but that the world is sick with sin.
Well, you should have seen the harvest! About 50 people prayed to receive Jesus as Savior and Lord. Here is the best part---many who publicly prayed to receive Jesus were Muslims, some in full religious garb--- hat, tunic and all! We saw more Muslims publicly pray to receive Jesus on this trip than ever before in this ministry! There is a wonderful and authentic Chaplaincy Department there who begins discipleship with these precious souls.
After I led a Pastor’s conference for one day we went to a Muslim village where one of the Pastors, who was formerly a Muslim, had planted a church. We preached the gospel in the street and saw about the same number as those at the hospital pray to receive Jesus. Again, some were in Muslim clothing. Folks this is huge---these precious souls will go back home and be told to leave or suffer other types of persecution. This is a move of the Holy Spirit and I am asking you to please pray for these precious ones!
There is much more the Lord did, but to get the whole thing you need to come with us to Africa! I am going to post pictures and video on my blog and website soon. So keep an eye on both the website and the blog.
The Rwanda orphan facility is moving along well. This week I sent our ministry plans to our Rwandan Ministry Partner who will look them over and then submit them to the Rwandan Government for approval. They have told us they are ready to issue licenses and permits for the land. More people are interested to look at this project for support. Please continue to pray and I will keep you posted.
