Prayer Requests

Tomorrow, Monday, we have a day of rest. For Leon and me, it is the halfway point of our mission trip to West Africa. On Tuesday we have a long drive to the West of Ghana, to a strong church in the village of Tano-Dumasi, Pastor Peter’s hometown on the Tano river.

Wednesday and Thursday will be spent taking care of some business – we have to get our visas to enter Cote d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast) the following week. So far we have been to the embassy in Accra twice, and it has been difficult to get the paperwork done to get the visa. Pray that we will be successful. We really want to get into Cote d’Ivoire. A large church in Abidjan is interested in learning the message of grace; their pastor has only recently come to see the message of grace in the Bible. They invited us to have a 3-day pastors’ conference and leadership training sessions. We consider this to be an incredible opportunity – this is an open door to a new country! Please pray fervently for the doors to be opened for a fruitful and safe trip into that country.

Next weekend, Leon and I will be ministering in an urban grace church in another part of Kumasi for meetings on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We ask for your prayers to be strong in the 95-100 degree heat every day, to be able by God's grace to preach the word clearly, and to be an encouragement to the believers.
