Ghana Women’s Development Project

Good wishes and greetings from Ghana! I pray that 2009 started for you with blessings and joy from our Lord.

The Lord has been so good to us in 2008 as individuals, as a ministry and a nation. God answered our prayers during the national elections and although there were potential for a meltdown, He delivered us from our country to fall apart. Personally, it had been a difficult year with the loss of both of my parents. But our Father has sustained me and has blessed me through the many women I was able to work with in the ministries.

The indigenous women’s bible study continues to go well. The floral decoration project was very successful and the women enjoyed learning new skills. The executive director of our ministry Rev. Beatrice Forson is leading the groups in Kasoa and Kotobaabi, and I am leading the Madina and Adenta groups. Many women are interested in joining the bible study groups but we don’t have enough women leaders. We are now planning two conferences in the summer to train 100 women to become local leaders. This is a big deal for us and we would like to ask for your special prayer and support so we can make it happen.

This year I will be teaching four courses at the seminary: Introduction to Missions, English language, Evangelism Church planting and Church Growth. With a big need of women in ministry, I am blessed to be able to contribute in this way. Thanks to your prayer and support Salomey Martey was able to graduate with a degree in Theology. Salomey Appeadu will be finishing her class work in May and will do her internship for three months. Please pray for more women to be able to attend the seminary.

The bibles we were able to purchase through your donation were received with joy beyond description. I thank each one of you for your prayers and support to enable me to serve the people in Ghana.

                                                                                            In Christ,
                                                                                            Esther

Please pray for:
      Those involved in the teaching sessions to be more hungry for the Word and invite others to participate.
      Humility and wisdom in working with these different churches.
      God’s guidance in my teaching ministry, for my health and protection on the busy roads.
      The women’s conference to take place in Accra and Volta region.
      God’s guidance in pursuing a doctorate in Missiology.
      Provision to be able to continue supporting women with their tuition.
