Missions
We have several activities that reach out to those who are seeking Jesus and his salvation in other countries.
Ghana: We support a work in the Republic of Ghana
in west Africa in the village of Assin, in the Fosu district.
This is one of the most progressive and stable countries in west
Africa. Even so its population has a personal annual income of only
$1,700. The work in Ghana is being led by Ebenezer Korsah, a
native Ghanian and assisted by Anthony Kiranchie under direction of the Princeton Church of Christ Elders. See some pictures sent to us from Ghana. See Ebenezer's goals for 2009
The Church at Stationview, Anthony Kiranchie & Ebenezer
Korsah send “Greetings” to the elders and the saints at
Princeton!
NEW ADDITIONS TO GOD’S CHURCH::
There were five (5) new baptisms in June and our ytd total for first
half of 2010 is 25. It is impossible to explain the negative
impact of the horrific rains Ghana has experienced in recent weeks and
it has affected all we do! There has been wide-spread destruction and
many deaths.
RAINFALL:
As I have already told you, it has rained heavily throughout Ghana for
many weeks now. Flood and disaster has occurred and destroyed many
buildings and properties in places such as Agona Swedru, Accra,
Winneba, etc. Travel away from the larger cities is most difficult.
Traveling
to work with the distant churches was even a bigger problem for Anthony
and me. Anthony did reach Brofoyedur and was very successful in his
teaching, resulting in three baptisms as noted above.
Our
mutual friend and evangelist, Lawrence Odoom, experienced loss of a
business and the Agona church building was damaged. Further, malaria is
now a grave problem and Lawrence’s congregation of 500+ at Agona
has had two deaths due to malaria. As you know, I am quite
susceptible to this disease and am taking necessary precautions as best
as I can.
This
has hindered a lot of Church programs, activities and meetings. Pray
for our safety, but know that we are coping with it all! The
rains will end at some point!
PURCHASED BIBLES:
I
am grateful that PCC member Cheryl Whitehouse has given a gift of
Bibles to us. We are humbled by her generosity in remembering us!
The receivers of the Bibles have attached seriousness in their use. We
would welcome the generosity of a gift from any PCC member. The bibles
cost $10 each and will be earned and used!
RADIO STATION BIBLE PROGRAM TO BE LAUNCHED:
You
will rcall our strong interest in having a local radio program on a new
station. Radio Station NKWA F.M. (88MHZ) was launched a few
months ago. Their frequency travels more than a hundred and
twenty (120) km. The name ‘NKWA’ is a local language
meaning ‘LIFE’. This F.M. Station can help teach and spread
the truth region-wide. A weekly 30 minute radio program cost $50.
Max Lancaster has indicated that the current mission budget at PCC
could cover $30/weekly for a trial period of four months if StationView
would commit to the $20/week balance. StationView has accepted that
challenge and this project is a GO for September!
