I have enjoyed having lots of guests in my house this month. With my friend Solim here for the month, she has been able to cook lots of African meals. I am thankful that Medina and her son and daughter were able to come for pate one day. In the picture below you will Solim and Medina and her children. What I am really excited about is that Medina and I have started a chronological bible study. She is very interested in learning what the Bible says. So please pray for Medina and I as we meet on Sat. morning to study God’s word, pray that she might understand the message of God’s word. One of the ministries in Mango is a sewing apprenticeship for orphans from surrounding villages. It has been started by a Togolese man named, Nogbedzi. He and his family moved here to start this ministry. He currently has 17 apprentices. We hope that many will be saved and will go back to their villages to be a light that might penetrate their villages. This past Friday eve. We, the Neufelds and myself, had all the apprentices at my house for a social. We played games (see photo below) and then some songs. Tim Neufeld our team leader shared a devotional from God’s word. We really had a good time, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. Two of the apprentices have already been saved in this last year, so we praise God for that. Please pray that God would continue to work in their hearts of the apprentices. Thank you for praying for Solim and her stay with me. We have had some good conversations about what God is doing in her life. She will be leaving tomorrow to go to Dapong to spend two weeks with her sister and family. I will be taking her, pray for us as we share the gospel with her sister’s family. Pray also for Solim that she will continue to serve and love God will all of her life. Thank you as well for praying for Joseph who works in literacy with me. We really thought that he was seriously ill but God has strengthened him and is doing much better and able to be home with his family. So praise God for his healing. This past week letters have been sent out seeking new employees for our hospital in Tsiko. We hope to be hiring 15-20 new employees that could later be considered as candidates for the next nursing training program. We are hoping to get candidates from the north of Togo that would be able to serve as nurses at our Hospital of Hope in Mango. Please pray that God would bring the people that He would want to be considered as possible nurses, people that want to see this work as a ministry and not just a job opportunity. In a few weeks, I will be going down to Tsiko for about a month. Annette Williams the directrice is going to the states for a few months and asked if I would help fill in for her in her absence.I would ask that you pray for the hospital at Tsiko for a problem with some employees. Satan is really attacking in this situation, I would ask that you would pray much for this ministry. Also pray for baby Sarah. She is the orphan baby that was 3 months premature. The hospital is seeking custody with the courts, pray that would grant this soon so she can be placed in a Christian home. (see picture of her below) I am thankful for the progress with the Anufo language. I am actually starting to say phrases and understand more. Please pray for continued discipline to study as I need to. I thank God as well for the opportunity to share the story of Adam and Eve with my language partner, Roukiya, this past week. That was very exciting. Pray that God would give more opportunities to share from God’s word. And finally pray for the ongoing construction of the Hospital of Hope. We were unable to find a crane, it is a long story. But they have figured out another way to get the tresses up on the buildings . So pray that God would protect our workers as they try to do this in the next week or so.  Medina and her children: Togo, Africa CommentsMon, 28 Feb 2011 9:27:27 pm In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.
