Shalom Baptist Church - Tarikpaa Village

For the past two years, the members of Shalom Baptist Church in Tarikpaa Village have been meeting in the local elementary school.  When the crowd is large, they meet under the trees on the school playground.  Almost all of the church members have given sacrificially to help make building the church a reality.

After much prayer and sacrificial giving by most of the church members, this past week, they began placing the roof on the church.  It is so exciting to be part of this incredible mission and we thank God for his provision.

Ishawu the Miracle Boy

Over a year ago, we began helping support a young Muslim boy named Ishawu who was malnourished to the point that he had not walked his entire life.  Ishawu lives with his widowed mother and younger sister, Adijah.  Some of you will remember this picture:

This past summer, we met Ishawu for the first time.  He was so excited to show us how he could now walk, thanks to many prayers, medical intervention and nutritional supplements. 

Ishawu's family is Muslim and there are no Christian churches in his village.  Last Sunday, Ishawu and his uncle surprised the Shalom Baptist church congregation of Tarikpaa village when they showed up for church.  Here are the words of IHH Missionary Pastor, Ziblim Mohammed:

At our worship service today Sunday in Shalom Baptist Church we received a special visitor in the person of Ishawu. He came all the way from Zugu village to visit and worship with us,he came with his uncle,  Fatawu. Everybody in the Church was happy to see Ishawu visit,because everybody is aware that Ishawu could not walk for six years,but by God's grace he was able to walk since last year.

 

Ishawu took home some nutritional food that was prepared by Dorcas for him and Adijah to be feed. He was rejoicing on his way home. I am not sure that his joy was in the gifts he received from the members but for being part of the fellowship for the first time.

God bless all of you for offering yourselves for God to use in changing the lives of this family.

Anfaani's Children

We thank God for the opportunity to provide support for the orphans at Anfaani Children's Home in Tamale, located in the Northern Region of Ghana, West Africa.

Victoria is the only orphan not sponsored at this time. Click here if you are interested in providing support for her. It's $30 per month or a lump sum of $360 for a year.  100% of the funds go to the orphan home to help feed the children and provide healthcare for them.

Here are some new pictures we just received of the children.  They are so beautiful.   And precious.
