Kushibo Grinding Mill
In June 2007, my friend, Chief Imorow of Kushibo, asked our team to pray for his village because they had recently experienced a tragic loss. While taking grain to a neighboring village to be ground, several of the village women drowned while crossing a swollen river.
In June 2008, we returned to Kushibo and presented the village with the funds for a grinding mill. A special thank you to the students of Heritage Christian Academy for collecting nickles, dimes and quarters to help fund this project!

Leaving a Legacy
Below is a narrated video of how my dear friends Pat and Peggy Ozment are leaving a legacy of God's Word in the villages of the Northern Region of Ghana, West Africa.
Look closely and you will see precious faces of the Dagomba. I know many of them by name, especially the man who is always standing beside Rev. Pat. This is my Ghanaian team leader, Pastor Ziblim Mohammed. We have been working together for 6 years. It was his daughter, Patience, who recently died from complications due to malaria.
After three years on the field, Rev. Pat and Mom Peggy are leaving West Africa in October to return to the States, but we all know they will leave their hearts in the Northern Region.

The (Earthly) Fatherless at Anfaani
Anfanni is run by an amazing Christian woman named Emelia. Her mother founded the orphan home many years ago. She died last year and now Emelia is dedicated to living out her legacy of taking in the motherless and fatherless children from the remote mud-hut villages. Some of these children have been rejected because they are a twin or triplet (seen as evil by some). Others were rejected because the mother died in childbirth. Still others are taken there because the family cannot afford to feed them.
Regardless of the reason, the need is there.
Can you help? Will you help?

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. James 1:27

Worship in Ghana
My dear friends and missionaries to Ghana, Rev. Pat and Peggy Ozment, recently visited a small village west of Tamale. The villagers had gathered to help raise funds to place a sheet metal roof on a mud-hut church. The video below is a glimpse into their way of worship. Click here to read more about these villagers.
