Sunday April 1st, 2018
Today was our first Lord’s Day with the Believers Bible Assembly in Kumasi, Ghana. The team wore their team shirts for an morning photo before assembling together for the Lord’s Supper. As the believers began to arrive the room filled up until all chairs were taken. There was plenty of bible reading and participation from the men of the assembly, and it was thrilling to think upon God changing our curse into a blessing, and the impact of the resurrection upon us. Our Lord’s Supper ran an extra 45 minutes, so the assembly agreed to change the teaching time and Sunday school ahead one hour so that Jewel, one of the team members, could minister to the ladies study group as she had planned. No one seemed to mind the last minute changes, and the children were still able to attend their classes from 12 to 1pm.
After lunch the team had some time to rest before we met again for an evangelism training session, where we learned different methods to share the gospel. This included using a paint board to explain the gospel, learning and practicing a rope trick to share the gospel, as well as how to share the gospel using a wrist band. Later, the elders shared with us some insights on how to share the gospel with Ghanaians.
For dinner we enjoyed a delicious roast prepared by Priscilla and Faustina. We also had a birthday celebration for Faustina’s son McKinnon, who turned 16 today. After dinner we continued to practice our evangelism methods, and we closed the day with a time of prayer.
Tomorrow we will begin our first full day for evangelism. Please pray for:
- God’s leading with the contacts we will make;
- Our first movie night tomorrow, and the gospel message following;
- Strength of body and spirit to fulfill our mission; and
- That Christ will be seen in us through our love and unity displayed.
