On Saturday September 21,2024 we learned of answered prayers as a number of our sponsored children of Kpevenu-Tsati were baptized at the Fountain of Life Chapel International. They are part the 27 who were baptized that day.
Please remember these new believers along with the people of Kpevenu-Tsati in your prayers. And watch for more answered prayers the Lord continues to provide. Greater things are yet to come!

Today at the Fountain of Life Chapel International in Ho, Ghana Africa 27 children and young adults accepted the Lord as their savior and were baptized. These 27 new believers are all from the community of Kpevenu-Tsati. Join us and keep them in your prayers.
Look at all these beautiful smiling faces.

One of the amazing things is that, six (6)of sponsored children were baptized today and they were:
We are so thankful for each and every child sponsor. Your prayers and financial support truly do make a difference.

Since our first introduction into Kpevenu-Tsati there has been much prayer over this community. Prayers for the orphan children, prayers for clean water, and the general and spiritual health of the people, and the desire for a church here. The day the team was visiting this year the people were lead to hold hands and form a large circle. Then they were lead in prayer, praying over their families, their farms, their community!
Our partner Senyo has shared that over the last two Sundays a group of young adults along with many children have begun meeting and sharing God’s word. This group with blessings from the community leaders have reached out asking for a church to be planted. Together with Fountain of Life Chapel International and this group of believers we are coming together in prayer over this new opportunity.

Our amazing trip is now over and we are safely back home this evening. As we spend time decompressing and taking in these last 2 weeks. We want to say thank you for all of your prayers and support. You too are very important team members.
August 26,2024 Last day
Sunday church service before the team heads to Accra for their early departure Monday morning. We were blessed to take part in today’s service and will definitely remember our time here. Thank you Jesus!
Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we begin our journey home. We are blessed by all of our prayer warriors. Thank you Jesus
August 25, 2o24 Day Ten
Saturday and it’s time for closing ceremonies. But not before teaching on being resilient and on temptation. Then saying the Lord’s Prayer in their native EWE language. We also shared in taking communion together and were blessed to take part in three more baptisms. We are also blessed in being able to purchase 50 bibles written in their native language. Spending time, we wrote personalized messages to each new believer in the Bible we presented it them. The 2024 children’s retreat has come to an end and it’s time to say, Mia-Dogo, “we’ll meet again”.
Thank you Jesus for an amazing trip. Lord as we now prepare for our journey home, we pray seeking travel mercies for the children’s safe return home. Our safe travel and Senyo’s safety on his way home.
August 24th, 2024 Day 9
Today is Friday and it’s already day three of the retreat. Today’s lessons come from Daniel 3:8-25. Three Hebrew men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace. And that no matter what, we are never alone. Jesus is always right there with us. The story of Naanan’s healing of Leprosy was also taught leading into a message of both salvation and baptism. These teachings lead many to seek salvation wanting to be baptized. There was a technical problem as there was a leak in the baptismal in the new chapel building that’s under construction. After a short break and refilling the tank, we celebrated by preforming 17 baptisms.
Today we also learned that many of the children have access to social media. So time was taken to share and talk about the dangers of it.
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray Lord that those that have excepted you as their savior will walk closely with you. That they will be a shining light in their homes, and in their Communities. We pray that those who have now heard your teachings will in time hear and answer your call to accept you into their lives. We ask these things in Jesus name, Amen
August 23,2024 Day 8
Thursday was an amazing day of answered prayer as many came forward asking to be prayed over for healing. Here a young girl from Kpevenu-Tsati is praying for the healing of her headaches.
Even as adults we often wonder what we have to offer in spreading the word of God. How can I be used? Even the youngest is equipped when we release ourselves to him. In the following picture young team members are mixing up ingredients to make slime and demonstrate a lesson from Paul. That when we invite Jesus into our lives, he changes the way we look, the way we think and the way we act. The visual of the ever changing appearance of the slime was a hit and a great example of Transformation.
Such a beautiful day to share the word and watch how the Lord works. We are blessed to worship and witness to these beautiful people.
Lord we ask that you watch over all those who came forward asking for prayer, continue to watch over them and protect them. Be with all the people who have come to hear your message of love and salvation. Encourage your servants who have answered your call. Restore their energy and confidence as you continue your work through them. And even now might you be preparing others to follow in this team’s footsteps, your footsteps! We ask these things in Jesus name, Amem.
August 21,2024 Day 7
Day one of the retreat is successfully in the book. With over 80 children in attendance the teams were kept busy. Teaching from Psalm 23 they heard messages on walking with Jesus, having faith in our limitless God, and his unending love. At the completion of each lesson they broke up into smaller discussion groups to dive deeper into the message with questions and answers.
And yes, there was time for some beach ball fun too.
Lord have you hand upon your servants. Be with those who have come to hear your word, some for the very first time. As they listen to your teaching may they desire to learn more and drawn closer. May they be encouraged to go and share your message with family back home when they return.
August 20,2924 Day 6
Today is arrival and preparation day. After spending the morning in devotions and prayer the team had lunch. Then it was on to completing the set up. The children started arriving mid afternoon and by the time registration finished up, Senyo shared there are 85 children attending this years retreat as of tonight.
Praise the Lord for the safe arrival of the children. May they remain healthy and safe. Lord we are grateful for the many provisions that you have already provided, and for those that are yet to be seen. Again we thank everyone that is working to make this possible. We especially thank the women who are preparing the meals every day, not only for the children but for the volunteers also. We thank our partners, Apostle Senyo Cudjoe, BDGM and Fountain of Life Chapel for allowing us to participate once again in their annual retreat. Lord, may you alone be glorified in Jesus name, Amen!
