Sunday Morning at Maranatha Power Ministries

The team arrived at the church for the 7:45 A.M service in which Skip Nichols preached. He spoke to the congregation about the micro banking initiative and about the importance of investing in our spiritual and physical life. That we must have initiative in the way we live out lives seeking to glorify God through our preparation, and follow through in all areas of our life. Skip also introduced us to Milicient, one of the success stories of the micro loan system. Through the loan she receive Milicient now runs her own business. After the first service we all went to different areas to teach Sunday school. Phyllis, Belinda B., Andrea, and Jesse lead the youth service. The name of there group is Crossroads. A name with great meaning when you understand the challenges many of these young people face. Andrea brought a powerful word, and Jesse (who the students and youth leader referred to as papa) brought a closing word. David taught an adult Sunday school class, and Scott taught a class for newcomers to the church. He said he was a little nervous , but we all heard he did great! He said that in some ways he felt prepares because he could still remember some of the ways it felt to be new to a place. In the second service David preached and brought a great word. During the invitation 5 prayed to receive Christ. In the afternoon we went to the ocean and Matt(U.K.) who received Christ was baptized. It was such a beautiful moment of praise to Go for saving Matt. Also after the service David, Phyllis and Belinda B. drove three hours one way for the dedication of one of the water wells that has been constructed as a result of the fundraiser last March. It was so beautiful to see how God is providing water for the people of Ghana. There are still more wells needed, but such a blessing to know that God is using many of you to meet the need. We finished the day with a worship service of all music. Praise teams from the church sang incredible songs of praise in both English and Twi. We were blessed by the way the people of this congregation lift their voices to God. It's now time for bed and we need rest after a wonderful day. Blessings
