Okla.-Dear Bro. Randall: Greetings of Christian love in the name of
Jesus to all the saints here and scattered abroad.
Once again I come your way with a report concerning the Church of
God work in Ghana, W. Africa. Souls are being saved and baptized;
the floor and the walls of the mission house have been constructed,
and the roof goes on next. As funds continue to come in they will be
able to finish the building.
I am preparing to return to Ghana in Jan., 1984, but I have been a
little concerned over a Ghana advisory report from Washington, which
appeared in Travel Weekly, Sept. 15, issue. I quote: "The State
Department has advised that U. S. Citizens not travel to Ghana
except for essential reasons, . . . chances are great for
considerable inconveniences, including strict security checks and
other travel restrictions for arriving and departing passengers."
The report almost persuaded me to give up plans to go, but since
that report came to my attention, Bro. Jim Akwasi got me out of bed
the other morning with an international phone call from Accra,
Ghana, telling me to come on a two-week visa as I did before. After
I get there I should be able to get a 6-months or a 12-months permit
to stay on the mission field. Before the day was over I received a
cable from him giving me the same instructions.
Unless God would intervene, I can't turn these instructions down.
What reason could be more essential than taking the gospel into
Ghana? Bro. Jim's Uncle Duku, who is a man of some authority, will
meet me at the airport and conduct me through customs, and also in
departing. . . .
I desire that all the saints pray that my every effort will be
anointed and count for the winning of souls. This could be the past
personal contact I shall ever have with them.
Yours for souls,
-Dorothy Keiser |

Okla.-Dear Bro. Flynn and co-workers at the Print Shop, and saints
scattered abroad: Greetings of Christian love in Jesus' name. I want
to thank everyone for their many prayers that have reached God on
behalf of the work in Ghana, and for the offerings that have come in
for the church building started there. Besides what has already been
received, I have something over $1,000 to take to them. Also, to
date $390 has come in for the Twi Bibles requested. I can't buy them
in the U. S., so will have to buy them in Ghana.
I will be able to take extra freight with me on the plane at $66 per
piece not weighing more than 70 Ibs. each. Since used clothing is a
real need there, I hope to take two bundles, 140 Ibs. of them to the
saints, and two boxes including dehydrated foods, a folding cot, a
two-burner kerosene stove, etc.-things I will need if I do get a
resident missionary permit for six or twelve months. I am waiting on
my visa. . . .
I have received and answered a lot of mail at this time at my home.
After Jan. 1, 1984, do not send mail to me here. My mailing address
will be: c/o Jim Akwasi Konadu Yiadom, P. O. Box 44, Akumadan-Ash,
Ghana, W. Africa. If money is enclosed for the work there, it should
be in cashier's check or money order made out to Bro. Jim or myself.
Any offerings designated for the work in Ghana will also be received
by Faith Publishing House, P. O. Box 518, Guthrie, Ok. 73044.
I desire your prayers. -Dorothy Keiser |

(Faith & Victory : January
1984) |

Okla.-Dear Bro. Flynn, all workers, and saints scattered abroad:
This comes your way trusting that all of you had a blessed
Christmas, and that the New Year will be the best ever for everyone.
I am looking to the Lord to bless us all according to our many and
varied needs.
My visa arrived too late to make the Faith and Victory paper in
December. As soon as I get there I will apply for a resident
missionary permit. I am confident the door will be open just as long
as there is a need for someone to be there. I do need your prayers
that everything will work out to the honor and glory of God and the
salvation for souls.
My flight is scheduled for Jan. 8, 1984. I leave Oklahoma City at
2:15 p. m., on T. W. A. to St. Louis, Mo; then on British Caledonian
to Accra, Ghana, via London, England, arriving in Ghana at 7:40 p.
m., Jan. 9. It is a small world, considering that much of the time
is spent in air terminals.
I am taking a duffle bag of used clothing to the saints there. I'm
also taking an army cot, sleeping bag, and a few things to keep
house with for an extended stay there, and some dehydrated foods to
supplement my diet. Air freight is so high that I am hoping to get
some rice for the saints after I get there.
I want to thank everyone for their good support of the new work in
Ghana. . . . I am praising God for all of His many blessings
concerning the work there.
My mailing address will be: Dorothy N. Keiser, c/o Jim Akwasi Konadu
Yiadom, P. O. Box 44, Akumadan-Ash, Ghana, West Africa. Offerings
sent to this address over-seas should be in a cashier's check or a
P. O. money order, and registered. Pray for me as I go.
Yours for a harvest of many souls,
-Sis. Dorothy Keiser |
