CORNERSTONE’S BUILDING UPDATE: On Cornerstone’s new church building we have all the windows, screens, and the doors hung. The storage doors upstairs were the hardest. I made them and fit them. To save money and be a good steward of what we already had, I made the storage door frames out of some 2x2 hard wood and covered the frames with sheets of ¼ inch plywood that we had remaining from the building construction. Thank you Matt for the circle saw! I have put it to use! (For those who do not know, a Christian servant at CLBC, our church in Ohio). Along with making the Storage doors from December 21 – January 1st we were able to get the whole building painted. The painting started in the storage area upstairs so some of us could get the boxes of Bibles, N.T. and the John and Romans moved into the storage area. The moving frees up room in the back building for other classes in time to come. During the moving, arranging of the boxes of Bibles, and the door construction I think I sweated off 20 pounds a day judging from the drenching sweat saturating my clothes. If you would like to give towards the projects that still need to be done that would be great! They still need banisters for the staircase, lighting, construction of bathrooms in the back of the property, and finally preparing of the grounds. It would be nice to be completed with all the building wants by the Building Dedication time which will be at Easter time or in May.
NEW YEAR PLANNING FOR ABS & CORNERSTONE: On December 16th Bro Prince, Bro Koasi, and myself had our yearly planning meeting. Comparing to when we started their offering records, the 2021 records look better than they ever have. Our plan is we help them and they help us! One of our plans this year is for Cornerstone to come up from Sekondi to help our visitation efforts in Anaji at our Anaji Bible Study once a month and then we at the Anaji Bible Study go to Cornerstone in Sekondi for their visitation efforts at the end of the month. We have stamped and prepared our John and Romans for those events. We will be listening and watching some special topics taught by Dr Ron Williams once a month on the last Sunday evening of the month with Cornerstone at Cornerstone. Pray that this will help with our visitation/soulwinning efforts and Bible teaching efforts, giving a good challenge, spiritual understanding, and growth to the church folks. From Bro Prince and Bro Koasi, they both have testified to the fact of how blessed the are in the teachings they have had in the last 17 1/2 years. That is not even remotely common.
WE HAVE FINISHED UP & ARE STARTING UP: On December 16thwe finished our Life Of Christ Bible class and on the 10thof January we started the Corinthians Bible class at the Anaji Bible Study; On December 5thour Bible Teachings at the Deaf School stopped for Christmas Break and resume January 23rd; Our Bible teachings at the Anaji School will resume this Friday the 21st along with teaching K-Kids after we finish teaching at the main school. November meeting with the head-mistress All of the teachers and head-mistress that were there were excited for us to come back after the Devil’s season of COVID shut downs and disruptions.
I/WE WANT TO GIVE A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE ABUNDANT CHRISTMAS GIFTS THAT YOU ALL GAVE TO US THIS YEAR (2021).IT WAS A BLESSING!!! They not only were a blessing to us but we were able to help Cornerstone with the painting of their new building. Also, I was able to revise my car with a lot of needed body work that hopefully, will last another year.
BITS OF BREAD: “More About Jesus Would I Know” – Author Eliza Edmunds Hewitt
Verse 1:More about Jesus would I know, more of His grace to others show, more of His saving fullness see, more of His love who died for me.
Verse 2:More about Jesus let me learn, more of His holy will discern; Spirit of God my teacher be, showing the things of Christ to me.
Verse 3:More about Jesus—in His Word holding communion with my Lord, hearing His voice in ev’ry line, making each faithful saying mine.
Verse 4:More about Jesus on His throne, riches in glory all His own, more of His kingdom’s sure increase, more of His coming—Prince of Peace.
Refrain/Chorus
More, more about Jesus, more, more about Jesus; more of His saving fullness see, more of His love who died for me.
“MORE ABOUT JESUS WOULD I KNOW”should be every Christians longing, stirring, desire, and ambition!
