"I have long dreaded the thought of getting to the end of life and regretting that I allowed my own timidity or other people's expectations to determine the course of my life. I decided that several of my beliefs should determine the course of my life...I believe that the Creator, has an epic script into which my minute presence has been written." - Steve Saint
Reid left a few hours ago headed to an outlying village near the Togo border. He and the MLI Staff are leading an outreach tonight in this unreached village. Two volunteers from California are with them as well. Tonight, the Jesus Film will be shown in the native tongue to the people in this village. Please pray for many to receive the hope of Jesus tonight.
These pictures are from last week. A movie screen is set up beside mud huts. Speakers share the story of Jesus with the people nearby.
Many will walk for miles to attend. Some will ride bicycles. Some will have never seen a movie. Many have never heard of Jesus. Most have no understanding of Him. May God reveal Himself this evening because His servants are GOing to tell them about His love.
Tonight is the third outreach this month. Last Friday night, over 100 people responded to the gospel! We now have 100 people who will celebrate eternal life with us in heaven! The pastor ministering to this village has discipleship plans in place for these new Christians. People who have never heard the TRUTH are hearing it for the first time...in their own language...and their hearts are responding! God is moving.
Take time to watch this short video, and be reminded of God's call to tell others the Truth. Be challenged by the vast number who do not know of Jesus. Be reminded of our responsibility to pray for them. Be moved to support missions around the world. Be moved to GO.
Thank you for the prayers you lift up for the lost in the world. Thank you for your prayers for our ministry here. Thank you for your support of missions!
May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering.
We are a family who loves Jesus. We have followed him to the faraway land of Ghana, West Africa. We know He led us here for His purpose - for His name to be great among the nations. (Psalm 46:10) We are here for His glory alone.
By sharing a glimpse into our lives through our posts we give this permanent disclaimer: Nothing written here is to exalt ourselves. We desire for everything we do, say, think, write, or share to be for God's glory alone. We know this life is not about us, and do not ever wish to make it so. We are not trying to share our "experience." We are not trying to pose for pictures. We are not trying to make you think we are doing something we are not. We are broken, imperfect people made complete through the grace of Christ. There is nothing special about us - except the Lord we follow. We want all glory, honor, and praise to go to whom it is due - Jesus.
Sometimes we may write things that are hard to read. It's not our purpose to offend anyone or impose guilt. Life in Ghana is vastly different from life in America. Sometimes when you read about the struggles of your fellow brother, we hope you are propelled to pray. This blog is our avenue to share how God is revealing more of His heart to us. In the process, God allows us to see deeper into our own. It gets ugly sometimes. We are humbled that He has allowed us to be hands and feet of His work. For this, we rejoice in God's boundless grace.
If you accept the terms of this blog - please feel free to read and enjoy. It's not about us.
"But as for me, God forbid that I should boast about anything except for the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. The world has been crucified to me through him, and I have been crucified to the world." - Galatians 6:14
