Dear
Friends,
Please join me in thanking God for my safe arrival in Rutland, Vermont on Saturday
July 7 after leaving Ghana on Thursday July 5 and flying through Cairo,
Egypt on Egypt Air. Dave and Wendy Preedom, who have been to Ghana on several
short-term medical teams met me at Albany, New York airport and we made the last
two hours of the trip by road. I will speak in area churches here on missions until
July 27 when I return to Ghana. Please also pray for Lydia, as she prepares
to join me here on July 20 to speak on medical missions before we return together on
July 27. My contact numbers until July 27 will be 802-273-3954 or 802-247-6715
or 912-228-9961.
Please lift up Raphael Gunu and Judy Fish, RN, as they left Ghana this
morning by
air for Niamey, Niger to join a CIY/FAME medical outreach in partnership with
Niger Christian Mission led by Kwame Yeboah-Mantey. Steve Sigler and 17 mission
interns arrived in Niamey last Monday from Bamako, Mali to join in preparations
for the outreach in this 97% Muslim dominated nation. Pray for a big Kingdom
harvest in the two-week outpouring of Agape in compassionate medical care.
Please also lift up Emmanuel Akorli as he and a volunteer leave Tema this morning
to take supplies to the clinics and staff at Benwoko, Yezesi, Lori and Tobali
all
in northern Ghana. They will be gone until Friday 13.
We rejoice that a 40-footer container of supplies sent from FAME in Indianapolis
was cleared from the Tema port last Wednesday. Included were supplies for the
Christian Leadership and Training Institute led by Connie and Bob Sheffler,
a
used tractor for King Hammond of Alabaster Ministries based in Tamale, donated
by
Jerry and Debbie Cramer and educational supplies sent to schools around Kumasi
from members of the Savannah Christian Church in Savannah, GA. We thank all
the donors and volunteers that made the shipment possible. Please pray that
the use of
these items will expand and strengthen the Kingdom in Ghana and beyond.
We have been blessed by a team of 13 from the Plainfield Christian Church,
Plainfield, IN who arrived in Ghana on June 29 and will return to the U.S.A
tomorrow July 10. They did a church leadership seminar for Faithway Christian
Church and other churches, a VBS at Faithway and a three-day out-door gospel
preaching campaign at Adenta, where the Faithway church is located. A big thank
you to Tim Gephert, Justin White, Sharon Brock and all the team members for
bringing us much encouragement.
Finally, please continue to lift up Emily Piper in your prayers. This is an
update she sent on June 30:
"Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to write to tell you that I'm still hanging in there. This
Monday is
my very last day of radiation! It's going to be a celebration : ) A few of
my
friends are coming with me and at the hospital I will get to ring a bell to
commemorate my last day of treatment.
Overall my doctor has been very impressed with how my body is handling the
intense
schedule of Teach for America and radiation. He says I should be much more
tired
than I am, but I am positive the only reason I have been able to hang in there
is
all of you who have been praying for me around the world. I thank God mightly
for
all of you. I will still be really tired for the next two weeks or so and that
is
how much training I have left, but I'm not giving up now!
I have learned so much about teaching and what it takes to be a good teacher
(I'm
still not there yet!). The kids I've been working with this summer are so cute!
They are 3rd graders transitioning between a bilingual and a regular English-only
class, so they are still working on their language, but they try so hard! I'm
going to miss them when I finish here in Houston.
Thank you again for all of your love and support! You all are the only reason
I'm
able to handle all of this
: )Love,Emily "
WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE!
FOR HIS GLORY AND HONOR
