"Better late than never" is said and certainly pertains to this update on the 2023 review for C.M.M. Ghana.  In a recent update, the Ghana ministry has now been moved to Holy Spirit Ministries, Int'l., located in Claremore, Oklahoma.  Mrs. Jerry (Paula) Smith, David, and Stacey Limerick are doing a great job at leading the ministry forward. I (Val Black) recently came across a review of 2023 sent to us by Rev. John Harrison.  Below are excerpts of his message and I apologize that it is being posted so late: ~ ~ ~  ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ...

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord! On Wednesday, January 31 the C.M.M. Evangelism Team of Ghana traveled three hours and twenty minutes to reach Kwahu Adawso.  We stayed until Sunday, February 2, 2024.  Farming is the main occupation in the area, especially the growing of vegetables. While there we shared Gospel tracts and also translated the messages on the tracts from English to the Akan language so they could clearly understand the messages.  Below is a summary of our activities: We shared 588 tracts from house to house and on the streets, shops, and farm lanes.  By ...

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you!  God has been good to us all and we are grateful for his love, protection, and mercies toward us.  On December 14, 2023, we drove over 3 hours from Accra to Yaohiamankrom in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.  We were in Yaohiamankrom until December 16 when we returned to Accra.    By God’s grace, while we were there we could share 544 Gospel tracts and also preached the Word of God.  Bro.

First, this note from Val:   This outreach to Mati Dove is extraordinary because of the primitive beliefs still held by the village elders. Here is a brief description that I took from the Hadithi Africa web page:  "The village of Mafi Dove, in southern Ghana, is home to around 5,000 people, almost none of whom were born here. Because of an archaic belief that childbirth in the village brings offense to the gods, expectant mothers are rushed to neighboring communities to deliver their babies there.  It is also forbidden for anyone to raise an animal in the village.  In recent years, ...

Greetings in the name of Our Lord JESUS CHRIST! On the 20th of September, 2023, the C.M.M. Evangelism team traveled to Jukwa in the Central Region of Ghana.  From the office in Accra to Jukwa it is about 107 miles.  Due to the poor roads, it took us 3 hours and 20 minutes of traveling time to arrive in Jukwa. To God’s Glory,  171 names were written in the Lamb Book of Life as we preached and shared tracts.  In one instance, a Muslim man from the Ahmadiyya group of Muslims converted and confessed Jesus as the true Messiah!  Bro ...

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 ...

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

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.   ...

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".  ...
