I give God all glory for how far He has brought us. We thank God for watching over His Church in the Ntrubo Area and beyond. I give God the glory for how much He took care of us in times like this.

John Kpormegbe
It has been so good by the grace of God. The churches and my family have to say “thank you God” and good morning to you all. No accident, death, nor sickness is recorded. Hallelujah!
We have had our first joint service and it encouraged me to do more. And we have baptized four ladies and one young man to the glory of God! Praise the Lord! We use the thermometer gun wisely and profitably to the checking of temperatures before allowing members into the church, aside hand washing and sanitizing.
Please, may we continue to pray for Banda and it branches to grow in the truth of faith and grow in number like flocks in His pastureland.
Nevertheless, I would want to seize this opportunity to thank God for everything, people in Ghana and abroad, helping me to have come this far. May the Lord heal and provide all their needs in Jesus’ name.
Prince Yevu
I thank God Almighty for my family and the church for protecting us from all evil. May His name be praised!
We are still worshipping in my living room every Sunday, and this affects our attendance, as many are not comfortable worshipping there.
We have tried to raise about $400 as partial payment of the land we identified. Please pray and support us as we raise the remaining funds to pay for the land and start a building. In the meantime, we will start with a pavilion. I am pleading and praying to God Almighty for anyone reading this to help save the new church from collapsing.
We are preparing the land looking forward for funds by faith. See pictures of the land.
We are gracious to God Almighty for helping us through this difficult time of the year 2020. In fact, it is a trying moment in our Christian journey and may the Lord help us through.
