House to House Evangelism
Apart from the first quarter Evangelism campaign which took place on 04th and 05th March, 2023 at Gomoa Asebu, the School has not taken any major Evangelism campaign in the second quarter. However, as usual the students have been going to Gomoa Asebu on rotational bases to support in evangelism and edification. Nmai Djorn church has been the major supporter of the school’s evangelism campaign because both two churches Santor and Gomoa Asebu were planted by Nmai Djorn church. However, because currently the church building the meeting place for the brethren at Gomoa Asebu and at the same time constructing a small mission house for my residence, this has brought pressure on the church’s finances. So has become necessary for the school to assist in the sponsoring the students to carry on the house to house evangelism and edification on rotational bases at Gomoa Asebu.
Three baptisms were recorded by the students, John Achie-Quophy, Boi church of Christ and Moses Antobam, Santor church of Christ. John Achie baptized one person and Moses baptized two.
New church to be planted – July 30, 2023
The school has prepared to undertake its first church planting this year in July 30, 2023. In the beginning it was only one place that we did the feasibility studies, which was Gomoa Pomadze. But while preparing the students I also went to Breku in the Central Region. Bro. Isaac Amo, a student doing his Master’s degree at Bear Valley Bible Institute,Accra is staying in that community. His picture is attached. Upon his invitation I went to see the place on the 20th June, 2023. He pleaded with me that since Pomadze meeting place and the student going to assign to take care of the new church are not ready we should shift to his place first if it could be possible. I went to his place and we did feasibility studies and indeed the place is ripe and it is also a fertile ground for church planting. They are Akan speaking community and very much populated than Gomoa Pomadze.
According to him he will be available to take care of the church. He is also staying in his own residence. A Christian brother staying in that community has also promised to offer us his big hall to use it for the meeting place till the church acquire her own land. I have promised him to go there next week that is the first week in July to finalize the meeting place. I will communicate with the Co-coordinator Kojo Acquah and the Administrator by next week to give them the final report on our preparation towards the planting of the new church. By next week the exact location will be determined.
We thank God that the students took their course on Evangelism & Church planting this quarter all in preparation towards this year church planting.
