In April, we received an email from our missionary in Saboba that states the following:
There is an issue at hand now that I don't know what to do. One day I was preaching at the Radio station and when it was time for phone-in, a community called in and requested for me to come and start the church for them. The community is called; Saksi. When you check on the District Map I gave you for Saboba, though the community is not mentioned on the Map but you can locate the area. Just check on your Map you find Toma, that is Saboba, trace to Demon, you find a branch road to Nambongbal, that is where you branch right to the place. It is really a distance to Saboba but I was there on Saturday, 14th April, 2012.
The whole community came out and after the preaching 30 people were ready for baptism but unfortunately, no water there or around close by for the baptisms to be done. The only place to get water and do this baptisms is at another community called, Kuntuli towards Saboba and the distance is very far. You can even find Kuntuli on the Map towards Saboba. Those 30 people's names are with me now, but if not hiring a car, there is no way possible for me to do this baptisms. It is really very disturbing but it is also not humanly possible for me. I therefore wants you to pray over this issue, thank you.
A couple of key matters related to the above. First, our missionary presented us with the idea of him hosting a radio program on a regular basis. With some generous funding providing by Prestoncrest members, we were able to support this as part of the 2012 budget and it has reaped enormous dividends for the Lord. Also, it is so humbling to hear what "real issues" are in Ghana...not having transportation to baptize people!
Once again, with some generous funding provided, Prestoncrest was able to provide the funds for a truck to be rented to take these individuals to a water source for baptism. Just recently, we received the below email and photos.
Greetings from Saboba. I worshiped at Sacksi yesterday with brother Thomas and by God's grace we had 21 New souls for the Lord. Brother Moses was with me and took some pictures and shared with me and so I am sending these to you for your perusal. I gave you my first text message from the village before looking at the list and realised they were rather 21 and not 19 I first mentioned.
Praise God for the work happening in Northern Ghana!
