As we finished up our last full day of interviews on Wednesday, I forgot to give the four elders who live in Juaso their locally printed copies of Preach of My Gospel, second edition. We had 200 of the manuals printed to use with the mission until we receive the official printed versions from Church … Continue reading Atwedie

Today was a first for us and a first for the entire Ghana Kumasi Mission. Today we dedicated the new Duayaw Nkwanta Meetinghouse, something I have never done before. It was a first for the Mission because this is our first non-District Center that the Church built and owns. We usually just lease a building … Continue reading Dedication Day
