Mission Report - August 2010

Power is the capacity to produce result and nothing has the power to produce salvation other then the gospel of Christ - Romans 1:16.

The Hebrews writer says the Gospel is powerful and effective and Isaiah declares it is productive. Yes in deed the gospel has multiples effective some visible and others invisible.  Often it’s the visible results that grip our attention, one such result that has brought me and the saints great joy is the conversion and baptism of Leticia Davies who started visiting us with her mother, who came to know about the church via my weekly radio broadcast some three months ago.

Leticia took her mother, who invited her, at a surprise when she requested for baptism without consulting her and the mother said why you did not wait for me as I am contemplating on my own baptism. I said to her, salvation is personal and the only consultation needed is with master Jesus and his gospel to that the mother said Leticia should be baptized immediately while she reflects on her own response to the gospel.

Once more we have seen the great visible power of the gospel in the death and resurrection of a dead and lost soul which took place on August 8, 2010.  Aba, Leticia’s mother, is not far from following her daughter’s example.  Your prayers can accelerate her decision.

Our school vacated for the academic year on July 30, 2010 to reopen in September for the next academic year and we will be adding our sixth grade class.  Special thanks goes to all our sponsors and mission work supporters most especially my sponsoring congregation the Center Street Church of Christ who have provided my family with not only financial support but with love and prayers over the last 14 years of mission work spanning three nations - The Gambia, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

We were blessed with the visit of Eugene Prince minister of the Alabaster Church in Alabama who donated $8,000 towards our land purchase and another $2,000 towards the concreting of the front slap of our new edifice at Kanifing Church of Christ in the Gambia.

I need your prayers for my next mission trip to Liberia and Sierra Leone and wish to offer special thanks to Tusculum church of Christ for her assistance in getting me a new and stronger PA system and $500 to purchase some bibles for my up coming trip.  I still need Bibles for free distribution to our graduating WBS student.

PEACE.
