About C.M.M. Ghana: The ministry in Ghana had a small beginning in 1995 when we shipped thousands of tracts to Africa. At one time we received an average of 50 letters per day asking for more tracts, Bibles, and teaching materials. It became evident that a distribution point was needed, so an office was opened in Accra, Ghana. Very soon an evangelism team was organized and outreaches to remote areas became a regular part of the ministry. Later, video Bible schools were formed in villages. The C.M.M. team would ride a bus as close to the villages, and from there they would carry the projectors and videos to the villages. Thousands of students graduated, and most were also ordained for ministry during that time. Our good friends of Holy Spirit Ministries, Int’l., Dr. Jerry Smith, and his wife Paula, traveled yearly to conduct the graduations and ordinations. Dr. Smith is now with the Lord, but his wife Paula, along with their daughter Stacey and her husband David Limerick, are continuing the ministry.
In February 2024, Julie and I concluded that in this “race” for salvations before the return of our Lord, it was appropriate for us to hand over the leadership of the ministry in Ghana, West Africa, to others. We proposed the idea to Paula Smith, Stacey, and David Limerick, and they agreed to do it. We were blessed knowing that part of our ministry will be in good hands and be led by the Holy Spirit.
Julie and I are still blessed by supporting Grace Children’s Home and Bethesda Leper Colony in India. On the following pages, you will not only find reports about them but if you scroll down several pages, there are past reports of the work in Ghana.
Thanks for looking, we hope you will be blessed!
Please read the following accounts of salvations, deliverances, and healings, and may you be blessed as you do.

Any amount would be appreciated. Please make this Christmas extra special for the children, and may God richly bless you. To give, click here: ...
From the very beginning, Grace Children's Home has needed a roof to shelter the area where the children play, study, and eat meals. This month, director Rev. Sikila Cornelius took a courageous step and applied for a loan at a nearby bank, and by the grace of God, he successfully secured the funds. Materials were ordered and the construction began. Today, it is a nicely finished compound with a new floor and a roof to protect people from the elements. The project cost was $3,066, which must be paid to the bank. Tables and chairs for the children are also needed. ...
Many people mistakenly believe that leprosy is a disease of the past, but it remains to be a problem. In 2021-2022, India reported 75,394 cases, making up 52% of the total cases worldwide. The majority of people in the world today experienced the COVID-19 pandemic, which made it necessary for everyone to change their lifestyle. We wore masks, made sure we took vitamins and avoided crowds. Think for a second about how your life was transformed then, and you'll begin to grasp a glimpse of the daily struggles of a leper. We support two men in India who have ...
We want to thank all of you who have donated funds for Grace Children's Home in India. At the beginning of this school year, the kids needed school supplies, which amounted to over $500.

The smiles are because of you! ...
In March of 2024, the ministry was blessed with a monetary gift to drill one water well in India. The money was wired to India and within three days a new well was drilled and producing water. Now, no more walking 2 to 5 miles to carry 4 gallons of contaminated water from any source available. Good, clean, cool water from a well is available and ready to serve 650 families! We give God all the glory for this great blessing! As most people of the Bonda tribes are animists (the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a ...
"In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." (John 7:37-38) Among the mountains of Andhra Pradesh, India, lives a tribe of people who dream of having good, clean water for their families someday. In addition, they are also an unreached tribe of people, most of whom have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In the meantime, they get water for drinking ...
Christmas came to Grace Children's Home a little late this year but it did come and the children were very happy to receive their gifts, which is evident from the smiles on their faces. Each child received a piece of clothing. We would have liked to provide a little more such as hygiene items, i.e., toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, etc., but they were happy to get their one gift. If you would like to support one or more of the children each month, please click on the link on the right-hand side that says, "Support-a-child". Thank you and may God richly ...
The Bonda tribe lives in the isolated hill regions of the Malkangiri district of southwestern Odisha, India, near the junction of the three states of Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh. A 2011 census estimates the tribe's size at approximately 12,000 members. They are the first forest settlers in India. As expected, the Bonda people's culture is extraordinary. The women prefer to marry men younger by at least 5-10 years so that the men can earn a living for them when they grow old. Women are small in stature averaging about 4 ft. to 4 1/2 ft. tall. They are usually ...
In October 2023, Pastor Cornelius and other pastors conducted services in India. However, the Christian community in India faces persecution, which makes it essential to keep these men of God in our prayers. Below are some photos of the events. ...
Salvation Prayer: Heavenly Father, I am a sinner. I come to You now and confess with my mouth that I believe Jesus is the Son of God, that He died for my sins. I believe in my heart that He rose from the dead and now sits at Your right Hand. Forgive me for all of my past sins and help me to live the life You would have me to live. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
