Greetings to all the saints in Jesus' name. I am very thankful for
the blessings of God on my recent trip to Africa. God has proven His
mercy and power, and He is truly worthy to be praised.
I left for Africa on November 29th and spent time in Ghana and
Nigeria. I returned home on December 25th well in body and blessed
in my soul.
The saints in Ghana are encouraged and there have been souls saved
in all three congregations since last year. I baptized about 17 new
converts. While I was in Akumadan, we had Bible studies, answered
questions and had services at each of the congregations. On the last
Sunday I was in Ghana, the congregations from Tanaso and Tadieso
came to Akumadan so we could all worship the Lord together.
Bro. Maxwell, the pastor in Akumadan, has a physical disability in
his legs. Approximately 17 years ago, Sis. Dorothy Keizer purchased
a motorcycle and had a three-wheeled machine built for Bro. Maxwell.
The machine was very old and in poor working order. I spent a day in
the city of Kumasi and purchased a motorcycle, a heavy metal sheet,
and other parts for a mechanic to build a new machine to replace
Bro. Maxwell's old one. Part of the funds for this project came from
money that had been donated last year from the operation of the
concession stand at Monark.
The saints in Ghana need continued prayer that they will grow
spiritually and be rooted and grounded in the truth. The ministers
there are also worthy of our prayers and support as they labor for
the furtherance of the gospel.
After leaving Ghana and flying to Nigeria....

There are many needs in the gospel work in Africa as there are in
other foreign works. The work is great but I thank God that He is in
control. Lord help us each one to do our part and hear the voice of
the Spirit. I thank each of you who carried a burden for me, my
family, and the efforts in Africa while I was gone. Your prayers
were not in vain and I thank God.
-Bro. Michael Smith |
