Dear Friends and Supporters

GHANA

Leaders’ Retreat:

Evangelists, elders and other leaders of the Restoration Christian Church in Ghana attended a leaders’ retreat in July. The retreat is organized by the fellowship and held every two years. Over 200 attended. Sessions were held on problem solving and encouraging one another to greater efforts in evangelism and church planting.

Supervisory trip to Ivory Coast:

Stephen Ofori and Godfred Mintah of the Christian Leadership Training Institute just returned from a trip to Ivory Coast where they did some problem solving with the Anono Christian Church and met with church leaders and students of the TEE program for training and encouragement.

Chamba Church building needs a roof:

The Chamba Christian Church has managed to construct their building up to roof level through special offerings, donations and volunteer labor. The church is located in a strategic location on a main road with several churches started in surrounding villages. Kingsley Laryea is the lead evangelists who mentors the local church leaders and works to plant more churches. Only $3,000 is needed for the roof, doors and windows.
