Dear friends,

Greetings from Lydia, our children and all the Ghana Christian

Mission team. We thank God for his daily guidance and

protection, and we also thank you our partners for your faithful

prayer, financial and moral support. Without God and without

you, we could not get the needed spiritual and financial

resources to remain in field service. As we look back on

February and look forward to March, the last week in which we

will remember the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord, we

are filled with gratitude for the abundant goodness of God to us

as individuals, families and as a team. By faith we press on in

service to God and mankind. Continue to stand by us as you

read these highlights of the ministry in the past few weeks.     To Him be all the Glory. 

> PRAYER WALK

Much prayer mobilization continues in preparation for the Global

Health Outreach and the Unity Praise Festival of the Agave 

people from July 22-August 2 this year. On February 5, 132 men

and women did a 4 hour prayer walk through 10 villages in the

Dzetorkoe area where the team will be serving. “Jesus started 

his ministry with prayer and ended with prayer. Prayer is the 

Master Key”.

>FMSC FOOD PROGRAM

We thank God for the ongoing partnership between us and Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) in feeding children in some rural 

areas of Ghana including four schools in Obanda and Borae areas. A few weeks ago, Mr. Frank Alloteh, a staff of FMSC in 

Libertyville, Illinois in the U.S.A, who is a Ghanaian, visited the feeding site at Obanda to see at first hand the impact of the food. Also on the

trip was his wife, Edem. Frank reflects on the trip:

 ”The trip exceeded my expectations ……I was excited to hear

all the positive ways FMSC’s food is impacting the school children and the community.  It is wonderful to hear that children

‘ numerous and popular hunger related health and fatigue issues ceased with the inception of the feeding program. Also, it is 

impressive to hear that the school’s enrollment has increased since the lunch food program started! Finally I am impressed 

with the PTA’s enthusiastic support of the food by the commitment to construct cafeteria.”

Dr. Allen Reesor of Metrix Research International, Hollywood, Florida also visited the 4 schools doing the feeding program to continue with research work from February 14-24.

continue to bless and expand her sewing business.
