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.
In the latest report from Rev. Cornelius in India, he states that 19 former idol worshipers who accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior were baptized on February 16, 2020. Below is his report and photos. Greetings to you. Here are the pictures of water baptism again this morning. I went near the sea with one of our pastors and three villagers who are ready to take water baptism. Today I baptized 19 new converts. They were all very strong idol worshipers and they lived very sinful life in the world. But the word of God and Jesus Christ touched ...
As the new year begins let's all give thanks for the blessings we have been given by our Lord. In India and other places around the world life is not as easy as we have it in the U.S. When we want a drink of water we turn on the faucet and pour it into a glass without thinking about it. In India and other places water is drawn from a well, lake, river or creek. When we build a new home or other structure most will hire a construction company to do it and we don't have to ...
In January, 2020, we received word from India about a young handicapped man who received his very first Bible as a gift. His name is Kumar and he lived with his mother. In the photos you see Kumar receiving his Bible and then proudly hugging it as the photo was taken. When I saw this photo my heart went out to him. A few days later we also received word the body of Kumar had been found floating in a river. We don't know what happened except that being handicapped he probably could not swim and may have fallen in ...
We had two good messages via Facebook this morning. One was from Sikala Cornelius and the other was from Brother Raj who ministers with his father. Rev. Cornelius traveled 150 miles to a very remote village to reach the lost. As his motorbike has quit working he hired a motor scooter taxi which cost him $28. He reports that he is in desperate need of transportation, preferably a new motor scooter and that would give good transportation at a very low cost of gasoline. With a motor scooter of his own the same trip would have cost him just $7 ...
From India comes two great testimonies. One will be shared here and the other on another post. Names are being withheld, except the Name of all Names, Jesus Christ. Two scriptures pertaining to this testimony are: Matthew 9:35, "Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people." Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." Now here is the first testimony: I am age 37 years and I work in a Life insurance Corporation as a Clerk. ...
Through gifts given to the orphanage, founder Rev. Sikila Cornelius was able to purchase Christmas gifts for each child. The orphanage is home to 37 children who must be cared for with food, clothing and other necessities. As Christmas comes around each year it is a real challenge for the orphanage to be able to provide gifts to the children. This year was exceptional as enough offerings were received to not only feed and clothe the children but also buy gifts for each one. See the smiling faces as each child received their gifts. Please consider giving on ...
This Christmas Rev. Dinesh and son, Raj, visited churches and gave out blankets and Bibles to the people. It gets very cold at this time of the year and blankets are always welcomed gifts and of course, Bibles are treasured also. Some received their first Bible this Christmas. Below are photos of the activities that kept father and son busy serving the Lord by serving His people. Please consider giving an offering and we will forward it to them. ...
This December Pastor Sikila Cornelius and his wife, Theresa, visited churches of the underprivileged Dalits. Many are elderly who suffer from the cold winter climate. Pastor Cornelius purchased several blankets and celebrated Christmas by giving the blankets to those in need. Some accepted Jesus and were later baptized. As usual, Pastor Cornelius fed as many as possible with rice and curry. For some of them, it will be the only meal for that day. See photos below: ...
We were recently sent photos from Pastor Cornelius of workers building a church in a Dalit village. As you can see, it is a rather crude structure. No electricity, no running water, no air conditioner, etc., etc., but the Glory of God is just as much present in this church as it is in any majestic cathedral with gold trimmings. Probably even more so. Other photos depict women going for water, sometimes walking great distances and carrying the load on their shoulders or head. There is a great need for wells, especially in the extremely poor Dalit villages. The cost ...
In our support of men and women of God who daily work towards helping the poor and needy, who willingly share the Gospel and bring others into the Kingdom of Heaven, we are committed to helping as much as we are able, and we call for others who feel as we do, that laying up treasures in Heaven is thousands of times better than laying up material wealth on earth, to respond with prayer but financial help too. There are many needs, but specific ones were given to us, in particular, by Rev. Cornelius, founder of Grace Children’s Home in ...
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.
