Prayer Requests for Thursday

Tomorrow (Thursday) we're going to visit two grace churches in the villages of Apitisu and Patase. The drive will be several hours on the paved road, and then about an hour on the red-clay road. Leon, Liz and I will be teaching in each of the churches. We visited these churches on our last trip to Ghana. After the church meeting several men took long poles and knocked down some coconuts from the palm trees and split them with a machete and that was our refreshment.

In the evening we will return to Kumasi and continue the pastors' conference, by the request of the pastors. We will be giving them an intense overview of the "Unfolding of the Mystery," continuing the studies we began on Monday and Tuesday mornings.

Pray for our safety in driving to the villages. The roads are not in good condition and many drivers take chances passing on the narrow roads - we've had a few close calls already.

And pray that our teaching and visits may be used by the Lord to encourage these believers to be faithful.

We'll be speaking to many unsaved people in each village -- everyone in the village comes to the meetings, and even the schools dismiss the children early so that they can come and see the people from "New York America." We pray that their hearts may be open to the word of God.
