New Happenings:
Anaji Bible Studies. We have been looking, visiting and thought we had found a place to start Bible Studies. The Place - we were preparing for Bible Studies is not far from where we live. It is about a 5 minutes walk from us. An older gentleman who I knew took some Bible Courses about 7 years ago in a former Bible Institute with some former missionaries I taught with. Several years ago he passed on, but he had an Internet café that after he passed the family stopped using. Last week Bro Prince, Bro Koasi, and myself went and talked with the family about being able to use the old Internet café for Bible Studies and Services. They were more than willing in deciding that would be the best use of it. (Most things relating to buildings or lands are a family ordeal) Each family member agreed, the Mother and the oldest Brother were working the details out for us. A few days later the younger son, come to find out, is on drugs. He is a “mad-man”, mentally troubled, ready to run off anyone that would come to the Bible Studies. So pray for us as we look for another location. The Public School – The school in Anaji has accepted us (Prince, Koasi, and Myself) to come in to do their Wednesday morning worship services starting their new school year in September. The People – The community of Anaji has grown quite extensively since we have moved here 15 years ago. I know of many people around and many people here know us also. It is quite interesting to realize those that know us. Be in prayer as we start this new venture.

CBBC Happenings:
While visiting in Sekondi with Cornerstone a few weeks ago I was able to talk with 3 young men who received Christ as their Savior – David, Augusta, and Joseph. In the 1stof July we had VBS at Essiman where Pastor Prince from Cornerstone lives and at the last of July we had VBS at Ekuasi where the Church Property is. There were 2 boys that received Christ: Lawrence and Benjamin. CBBC’s church property is going forward on finishing with the legal documents of CBBC’s ownership, then, they should be able to get building permits.

Miscellaneous:
Our yard is coming together little by little after a serious trimming and cutting down of grass and other foliage and the inside of the house is now manageable with most water leaks from water lines being repaired. My missing luggage is still missing, but Delta has reimbursed me, although that does not supply the items that would be of some help. We are still in need of getting our Mini-Van, 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan in the States Sold. It has Stow-n-Go compartments with a Luggage rack on top and 115,000 + miles. Most of the miles are Highway miles. I bought it at 83,000 + miles. I have kept receipts of all the work, faithful oil changes, and other maintenance that has been done on it since I bought it. If interested please contact our church, Chippewa Lake Baptist Church in Medina Ohio: 330-769-2790 or my son Matthew Jr: 330-461-5795.

Bits Of Bread:
Are you Altering the things of God to get what you want???
It is a sad day when the One who is to rule rightly, ALTERS his or her life as those who rebel against the Principles and the Values taught from God’s Word that are to help guide One’s life!!!King Ahaz of the Southern Kingdom of Israel Fashioned, Patterned, and Altered the House of God after his own Self-Ambition. “Twenty years old was Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord his God, like David his father.” – II Kings 16:2 (Read the whole Passage v1-20, especially v7-18)
