Support Level, Permits, ID Cards:
Our support level is now at 94.96%. We are inching.closer! We pray that we’ll be able to reach our 100% support mark. Thank you First Baptist Church of Milford for taking us on for support. Now that we are back in Ghana W Africa, I pray I’m not beating a dead horse, but I believe we still have some opportunities for support out there of churches we have presented in this year. Please be in prayer with us also that we can get 100% of our support raised. To God’s glory we have received our new yearly resident permits that needed to be renewed, but still working on getting our ID Cards renewed. We also want to say a special thanks to Mrs Holbrook’s SS Class and Bro Varney at CBCIFF for the gift and the matching gift. Also, we thank FBC in Illinois for your focus on us this month and the gift for a special night out. My wife will enjoy that, Thanks! A SPECIAL SIDE NOTE: If anyone of our friends and Supporters send any form of money please remember to send it to our church in Ohio, Chippewa Lake Baptist Church, NOT our African Address. I cannot cash any checks over here in Ghana and it is not secure to send any cash.
Anaji Bible Studies:
In the previous newsletter I mentionedthat we had a place for a Bible study in Anaji, but that a mentally troubled man ruined those plans for us so we in August started an Anaji Bible Study on Sunday evenings at our house. We have been limited and trying to discern on giving out the location to our house for the sake of who we may be inviting, like a thief/robber. A young teenage boy named Perbi has been coming. He is in the 12 grade, he is very bright in many areas of life, like who he befriends, his schooling achievements, and his way of thinking seems to be different from the mystical way of thinking as the average. Right now I have been working on teaching him that the Bible is God’s Word all of the way from Genesis through Revelations. Many people think that the Bible only contains God’s Words. Pray for Perbi’s Salvation in Christ Jesus and to know the certainty of Salvation. Just last week we found a place to direct people to for Bible Study. We are working on getting its electric working. The Place we have rented is a storage unit. The owner’s name is Fred Appiah. Before we went to rent the unit on his property he was planning to put a drinking bar on his property, but I spoke to him about inviting the devil to his house and influencing his family so he told me that he would not. Fred told me that he would come and we pray that he does. There are other areas in Anaji we want to strategically have Bible Studies in also. The Anaji public school has accepted us to come and teach for the month of September. As we went to teach our Bible session there at the school we met a man that knew us 5 years ago who used to be a teacher at West Ridge public school that we taught Bible classes in. Pray that we can get into this school further. Your prayers are needed and appreciated. “Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds: That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.” – Col 4:3-4.
Other Happenings:
We had our last VBS at Cornerstone Biblical Baptist Church, Sekondi in August. One received Christ. A few weeks ago Cornerstone Biblical Baptist Church just received their Official Paper Work from the Lands Department documenting their church property. Now that they have that they can move on to STMA Department for a permit to build. Praise the Lord! I hope to tell you more good news about building in November’s Newsletter. Cornerstone will also be having Revival week October 27th-30th. The Sekondi Deaf School that we teach Bible classes in have restarted their school year and we will be starting there this coming Sunday Morning teaching Bible classes there. Pray for the advancement of our signing!!! For continued correspondence with our College Kids back home: Naomi’s mailing address is still at PCC and Matthew’s mailing address now is at Chippewa Lake Baptist Church. He has decided to go into HVAC so he is schooling and training at the Medina County Career Center in Medina, Ohio and working with a HVAC company in the Medina area by our church. We still need Prayer for our Minivan to sell.

Bits Of Bread:
Psalms 12 we learn that “The Demise Of Godly & Faithful Men Seemingly,:”
I. Makes More Significant & Urgent The Help Of God v1;
II. Makes More Striking The Subverting Of Man’s Vanity w/ Flattering Lips and a Double Heart v2-4 III.Makes More Precious The Pure Words Of God in It’s Content, Promises & Assurances v5-8
“Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” – Ps 12:1
