Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. On Sunday 10th September in the afternoon, the CMM Outreach Team traveled over 4 hours to Atiavi in the Keta District, Volta Region. We really enjoyed this Outreach when we met a Lady called Lucy Dometi.  After preaching, we handed a tract to her and she started asking questions about Jesus, salvation, and forgiveness. We explained the message and answered her questions from the Scriptures.  Then she knelt and gave her life to Jesus as Lord and Savior! She asked us to follow her to her home and share the word of God with her ...

This is part 3 of the Covenant that God made with Noah. Conditions on earth were so evil that God regretted making man.  So, God decided to destroy all but Noah and his family of seven through a flood that covered the whole world. After 150 days in the ark, a new world opened for Noah and his family. Click on this link for the video:  Part 3 - The Noahic Covenant ...

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! On the 10th  to 12th August,  2023 we travelled to Battor in the Volta Region.   While there we preached and shared Gospel tracts to lead people to Christ.  We explained the messages on the tracts and also went from street-to-street, to house-to-house preaching. We met one young lady who had read the tract, "God Is Not Mad At You!", and accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.  She shared with us that she has suffered humiliation and physical abuse many times.  She was very happy to receive Jesus into her life.   ...

On August 15, 1947, India gained its independence. Just as the Fourth of July is a day of celebration in the U.S. the same is true in India but on a different day. The children at Grace Children's Home celebrated this day with special edible treats and gifts of lunch boxes to take to school. Below are photos of the children with their treats. From the smiles on their faces, it looked like it was a success! ...

A NOTE FROM VAL:  What a great report!   About 20 years ago I asked the CMM Ghana directer Boachie if he thought it would be possible to reach this part of Ghana that was known to be a haven for people practicing witchcraft.  Boachie told me not many people are willing to go there because it wasn't safe.  Also about that same time our pastor's wife, Sister Etta Little, called early one morning and said, "Val, God woke me up in the middle of the night and said to tell you to write a tract and call it, "The Promise".  ...

Greetings in the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ! June 28 was a great day as we traveled to Asante-Akyem Juaso in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.  We drove for 3 hours and 30 minutes to get there. When we reached our destination we immediately began to preach the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and we shared tracts.  In summary:  497 tracts were shared and 101 Accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior! In addition, 32 people rededicated their life to Christ, and four people were healed by the power of the Holy Spirit! THE STORY OF THE WEEK We ...

( A note from Val Black: It's disheartening to see that so many indicators of our nation's change are blatantly displayed through our schools, our politics, and even some churches.  Even the most liberal of our ancestors would have been shocked at what is happening today. For example, our government, the media, the courts, and politicians are trying to indoctrinate our children and the general public into celebrating homosexuality.  They have even stolen God's seal of His promise to Noah, the rainbow, and made it into an ensign of pride for homosexuals, transgenders, same-sex marriages, etc.,  which are plainly described ...

The orphans at Grace Children's Home are doing well and as you can see by these photos, it was feeding time at the home. James 1:27 says, "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."  (New Living Translation) In his epistle, James is making it clear that in God's Eyes true religion is putting aside your own interests and caring for those unable to care for themselves.  In other words, "self" is either controlling you or you are in control ...

Blessed be the Name of Jesus our Lord! On May 23 the C.M.M. Evangelism Team of Ghana traveled almost 3 hours to Have Etoe in the Volta Region to share tracts for the 2nd time.  Have Etoe has a population of approximately 8,355 As soon as we arrived at 10 a.m., tracts were distributed and the messages were explained to the indigenous population.  We preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ and made disciples for God’s glory! In summary, we shared about 490 Gospel tracts and estimate about 112 souls were won to Jesus.  In addition, 16 people re-dedicated their lives ...

There is so much to talk about in the Covenant with Noah that this is just part one. In this video, Val Black gives an overview of Genesis, Chapters 3 and 4, and also discusses some principles that were established which affect Christians today in their walk with God.  In addition to polygamy, murder is also first seen in these early chapters. The conditions on Earth continue to deteriorate after Cain kills his brother, Abel.  Genesis 3:15's two seeds are becoming more apparent.  Click here:   The Covenant with Noah - Part 1 ...

(A note from Val:  Several videos were made of people giving their testimonies but due to the noise of the traffic, none were suitable enough to post here.  The photo is that of Bro. Emmanuel, one of those who gave testimonies) Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! The C.M.M. evangelism team visited Akyem Abaam in the Eastern Region of Ghana from Tuesday, the 9th of May to Thursday the 11th of May 2023.  Akyem Abaam is a gold mining community and the lifestyle of the people is not pleasant.  Drinking, drug abuse, women abuse, etc., are major concerns.   While ...

Every Christian should be familiar with the Covenants that God set forth and fulfilled to restore to us the same personal fellowship Adam and Eve had with Him in the Garden of Eden.  In this 5th message on Val's lessons on the Covenants of God, he talks about God's covenant with Adam, also known as The Adamic Covenant, the foundation of all the rest of God's covenants.  Genesis 3, verse 15, is the foundational verse stating the terms of the covenant which will set forth God's plan of redemption, a plan conceived before the foundations of the world were even ...

Greetings in the name of Almighty God! The CMM Evangelism team traveled to Kwahu Miaso again to continue the evangelism activities we started two years ago.  We were there from Wednesday 12th April to Thursday 13th April 2023. We visited one of the ladies who accepted Jesus as Lord two years ago.  On our first visit to Kwahu Miaso, she asked us to pray for the fruit of her womb. To the glory of God, she conceived after we prayed with her and has given birth to a baby boy!!!  Praise the Lord!!! Another Lady also testified to the glory ...

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! On Thursday, March 30, 2023, the CMM Evangelism Team traveled 2 hours from Accra to Pano in the Eastern Region.  As we normally do, we preached the Word, shared tracts, and explained the messages in the tracts to their understanding. Some were glad we came and gladly received Jesus as Lord and Savior. In Summary: 630 Tracts shared.  155 made a decision for Christ and 39 rededicated their lives to Christ. We prayed for the sick but are waiting to hear from them and their testimony of healing. We got only one testimony ...

God is a covenant-making God.  That means when He makes a promise to man He is always faithful to keep that promise.  To prove that He is faithful, God makes covenants with man and in some cases, they are blood covenants. In this message, we talk about the first covenant in the Bible.  It's not the covenant God made with Noah, promising never to flood the earth again, although that is the one most people would choose as the first one.  The first covenant was made at creation when God made everything and called it "good".   Be sure to have ...

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ. Glory be to God in the highest. On Wednesday 15th  and Thursday 16th of March, 2023 the C.M.M. evangelism team traveled to Dzolokpuita in the Volta Region of Ghana. This is the second time the CMM team has visited the town.  We traveled for 4 hours from Accra to Dzolokpuita to preach the word, share Gospel tracts, and lead people to Christ. We shared 480 tracts and 147 souls made the decision to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.  In addition, 13 people re-dedicated their lives to Christ and we also witnessed two ...

The ministry and family of Val Black are deeply saddened at the passing of Pastor Nathan Little.  Pastor Nathan was our Pastor, mentor, traveling companion to Africa, and fishing friend.  In fact, it was his encouragement that birthed this ministry when it began in 1989. Pastor Nathan was a "preacher's preacher" and was always ready to share Jesus with anyone.   One of his favorite sayings was, "Make a friend and save a soul".  Nathan lived by those words and one day when God opens His books it will be learned that many salvations can be credited to Nathan's witnessing to ...

Recently, I have begun a series of teachings on God's covenants.  It is my belief that with an understanding of the true significance of the covenants in the Bible, a Christian will gain a new perception of the Word and even develop a closer relationship with God.  I speak from experience because that happened to me many years ago.  That is also the reason I named our ministry Covenant Messenger Ministries because I realized covenants were the foundation of the Bible with some having been fulfilled and others yet to be fulfilled. Here is my reasoning:  Malachi 3:1 says this, ...

Dear friends of C.M.M. Just a word to let you know that all of us connected to the operation of this ministry are very grateful for your support through your offerings and prayers.   Every person on earth has a purpose, sometimes multiple purposes, to fulfill during their lifetime.   Christians must rely on the Holy Spirit to guide them in this process.  God has placed a sense of purpose in my life to support devout Christians in Ghana to win others to Jesus Christ in that nation and more.  Additionally, it includes Rev. Sikila Cornelius' ministry in India, a man who has ...

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! On Wednesday, January 20, 2023, the C.M.M. Evangelism Team traveled to Kwanyako in the Central Region of Ghana and stayed to minister until the following Friday.  The people of Kwanyako are fishermen and they have a particular festival in which many of them celebrate by drinking alcohol.  We happened to arrive at the time of this festival and witnessed several young men and women celebrating this festival and getting drunk.  It breaks our hearts to see young people created in the image of God destroying their lives with alcohol.  The perishing of our ...
