PRAYER LETTER

MISSIONARIES TO GHANA, AFRICA

“FAITHFUL IN GHANA” 

Building a Home that Will Stand

Good morning to our Readers.




This is a missionary update from Aquila who ministers in Ghana, Africa. He too, faces many different challenges and has specific prayer requests.

Pleas read his update and pray with them for God's direction and supply.

This year, our theme has been “Building a Home that Will Stand.” The Lord is using

this theme both in our family and the ministry to motivate us to dedicate our families to Him and see Him work through our family to reach the unsaved.

We are grateful to the Lord for how far He has brought us since the beginning of this

year. He has faithfully protected and provided for the ministry and our family here in Ghana. We know that it is through your prayers that we are seeing the hand of God at work in Ghana.

THE DARIMANI FAMILY - PRAYER LETTER

We had a wonderful service on Easter Sunday in March where some of our village churches (Doli, Charie, and Nako) joined Wa Regular Baptist Church in town to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior. It was a beautiful time of fellowship and encouragement to see how the Lord is working in our various churches.

This year, we had a record attendance in youth camp, which became a good problem. We were anticipating about 300 campers, but more than 600 camp[1]ers showed up. These are times when planning fails, and then God takes over.

All our budgets could not meet the needs, but we witnessed God providing

in every area of the camp (food, rooms to sleep, preaching, workshops, health). It was amazing, and people did not even realize that we were at the point of not being able to take care of the campers. God is good.

We have heard testimonies of how camp has transformed the lives of people who came. A missionary from a different part of Ghana met Aquila and thanked him for the camp. They have seen the effect of the camp in their ministry, and they want us to help them start a camp at their place.

Our Bible college ended in May, and we are thankful to the Lord. Aquila taught two classes and we had a successful semester. Some college buildings are under renovation through the support of the Carpenters Projects. Both couples and singles dorms will be renovated, and study tables and chairs, beds, and wardrobes will be provided. A hall will be renovated to expand it. We are grateful to the Carpenters Project for their work

We are privileged to have a ministry Record attendance in our youth camp

FAMILY & PERSONAL UPDATES

Rachel is doing fine with the pregnancy. She is due in August, and it will be through CS surgery since she has had two already. It is advised for us to do that. She still helps with the children’s Sunday school at church and with ladies’ Bible studies.

Karen Linda is doing well. We have seen some improvement and are still praying for healing.

John Frank just celebrated his birthday on June 18. He is three years old and we thank God for his life.

Ministry Highlights

THE DARIMANIS PRAYER LETTER

JULY 2024

A team from Baptist College of Ministry come from Falls Baptist Church to be with our ministry. They

were involved in almost all our ministries here (church plant, radio ministry, children, youth, high schools, VBS, and workshops). By God’s grace, they saw many people saved, and we pray for lasting fruits from their ministry. They were a blessing to us.

Village church buildings are in progress. We are building Kaangu, Charie, and Goguyiri and are fin[1]ishing the Piree church. Though the economy of Ghana is affecting the work, it is moving on very well.

Pastor Timothy, who graduated last year, has been praying for some time, and the Lord is leading him to start a ministry at Tamala (pre[1]dominantly Muslim). It has the strongest Islamic influence in Ghana. They have been meeting for the past three months. We are looking forward to what the Lord is going to do.

PRAYER

1. Pray for our printing ministry. That the Lord  will bring in the funds needed for this

 important ministry.

2. Pray for the safe delivery of Rahel in August.

3. Pray for the church buildings at various villages

 and also renovation work at WABC.

4. Pray for new students to come to the Bible

 College to get trained for the ministry.

Hymn Story of "Sunshine in My Soul Today"

  Good afternoon.. I have a great hymn history to share with you today. One of the outstanding hymn writers was Eliza Hewitt. This hymn "Sunshine in My Soul Today" was written by Eliza after she suffered a serious injury. The lyrics and an excellent performance of the hymn are included. Psalm 92:1 “I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name,  O thou most High.” In 1851 Eliza Edmunds Hewitt was born, and grew to be valedictorian of her class and a school teacher in Pennsylvania.   At some point in her teaching career an unruly student struck her on the back with a piece of heavy slate.   This injury left Eliza in a heavy cast for months, confined to her room. During this time of painful confinement, Eliza was determined not to be bitter, and started writing hymns.   Many of them were praise hymns, such as:   Stepping in the Light, Singing I Go, Victory in Jesus and many more. When she was able to go outside for the first time on a spring day, she

Elohim: the first name of God used in the Bible

-
I thought it might be helpful to look with you a bit regarding the very first name of God we encounter in the Bible. The Hebrew word translated "God" in Genesis 1 is "Elohim." Genesis 1:1-2 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Elohim is the English spelling of a Hebrew name of God.  You might ask, “When will I know when this name Elohim appears in the Old Testament?”  Our translators translated the Hebrew name Elohim as “God” 2,606 times in the plural form and “God” 245 times from its singular form.  Elohim or God appears 31 times in the first chapter of Genesis.  Why did God give us many different names for Himself?   God is an infinite being.  God is without limits.  Since He is a limitless God, He chose various Hebrew names to reveal certain facets of Himself to mankind.  Each name describes

Hymn Story of "Speak O Lord"

Good morning... I have a hymn for all of your to rejoice in and enjoy. This beautiful hymn was written by Stuart Towned and Keith Getty in 2005. It represents a growing and pressing need for the people of God to return to solid Bible preaching and teaching as they turn away from that which does not satisfy our soul. The verses are inserted below along with a link to hear and sing it. I hope that this hymn brings joy and passion for Christ and His Word into our hearts. Bob The story behind "Speak O Lord" One of Christianity's distinctives is that we worship a God who has spoken - who is not silent. From God the Father, speaking the world into creation, to speaking through His Living word in Christ, to speaking by His Spirit through the written word. Throughout history the word of God has transformed the most proud leaders and the most hopeless victims, the greatest civilisations and the remotest of villages, in every age to every corner of the world
