On Saturday we had the first medical clinic in Nungua. All went well, and the medical team saw around 200 patients. David and Phyllis along with Dr. Ola (U.K.) did a wonderful job organizing the clinic and treating everyone who came for treatment. It was incredibly organized and ran very smooth. Andrea and Jesse led an impromptu service with those waiting to be seen by the doctor. Pastor Prince translated and several people prayed to receive Christ! Later in the afternoon Jesse and Andrea had the privilege of meeting with the choirs at MPM and had a clinic followed by some of the most incredible singing ever!
Belinda Barragar shared her testimony with a group of about 40-50 young people at the youth jam.
Scott Piper joined a group of eleven other men from the U.K. helping to prepare the roof for a future medical clinic.
Skip Nichols had the privilege of visiting the new site of the microbank started by Marantha Power Ministries. The new location has eight employers including one auditor who manages 500 customers accounts (100 micro-loans and 400 savings accounts.)
The most exciting news is Matt, who came with Peniel Church, accepted Christ today! We continued to enjoy rich fellowship with our British brothers and sisters in Christ!
It was a wonderful first day of ministry! Thank you for your continued prayers. They are needed and felt!
Junior called Clara this evening, hopefully you were long in bed by then! I got to talk to him but brought tears to my eyes to hear a voice from Accra. Church was really good today, God was very present with us. So happy things are going well for you all and excited to hear about those saved, especially Matt. Not surprised things were "organized well" at the clinic. Way to go Belinda, with the youth; Jesse and Andrea for listening to God and speaking when he led you; Scott and Skip for using your talents for God's work. I hope you get to see Lauren's Lighthouse Chapel while you are there. Phyllis, when you go shopping- I forgot to send money for beads, could I pay you when you get back if you have enough money. They weren't at the Market when we got there. Praying for a good sleep, renewed energy, focus, God's presence in all you do, and Satan's absence! Loving you from Tulsa. Rebecca
