LMAfrica Newsletter – Ghana – November 2021

The Ghana Gospel Bookroom participated in the 18th Ghana International Book Fair from 26 to 29 August 2021. This year’s book fair drew many workers and students from across the country as well as foreign nationals to view various kinds of books from approximately 61 exhibitors. Through the prayers of the saints and with about eight saints volunteering to man our booth, we contacted a good number of people. Over 500 people passed in front of our booth with some stopping to make inquiries about our books and others purchasing some books. About 75% of those who stopped by our table were high school students between the ages of 12 and 20 years. We engaged with the students and their teachers and they were so open for us to visit their schools for one-on-one shepherding.

Literature Training

After a free mass book distribution of over 130,000 ministry books in schools and to the general public in early 2020, some contacts were made. Some of these ones are pursuing the ministry and are being shepherded gradually into the church life, particularly in the cities of Cape Coast, Jasikan and Nkwanta. The following is a short introduction regarding the Lord’s move in Jasikan and Cape Coast.

Jasikan is a major town situated in the Oti Region in the Northeastern part of Ghana. The majority of the population there are migrants from Togo, a neighboring country and are mainly a mix of nominal Christians and unbelievers. After the book distribution in colleges and senior high schools, we realized the hunger among seeking ones. Through fellowship, some brothers began laboring in this city. One of the brothers migrated to Jasikan for the shepherding of the contacts and the establishment of the Lord’s testimony. Praise the Lord the first Table meeting was held on 17 October with 38 saints attending.

Furthermore, on 1 April 2021, a family was burdened to migrate to Cape Coast from Accra for the Lord’s move on the western coast of Ghana. By distributing the ministry books and visiting the contacts and saints from house to house, three local saints have now opened their homes for regular meetings. On 5 August two more families migrated to the city of Cape Coast. Currently, three families burdened for the Lord’s spread and His testimony in the southwestern cities in Ghana are laboring in the cities of Cape Coast and Takoradi. The Lord is blessing all this migration and has been propagating Himself. The Lord’s testimony was established on 24 October in Cape Coast. 73 people attended the first bread-breaking meeting. We testified that we are one in the body of Christ. For details of the propagation, please refer to the “AMD Propagation Newsletter, October 2021” at www.LMAfrica.org.
