Gearing up for Ghana!

The mission this year is the same as it has been for the last eight years:
Share the love of Jesus with the Dagomba tribe of Ghana, West Africa.



We show that love in many different ways, but mostly just through building relationships and Bible storytelling in mud hut villages among a predominantly Muslim people group. Along the way we help feed hungry orphans and widows, provide training and support for the church pre-school, rock and hold infant orphans at a local orphanage, provide funds for poverty-stricken children to attend school, pray over sick children and adults, and raise our hearts and hands in worship with our African brothers and sisters.

Here is more information about the mission if you're interested:

Feeding the Children

IHH wants to thank the donors who helped provide these much-needed supplies to the orphan home in Ghana.  It just so happened that on the day our facilitator, Paul, went to check on the orphans, they were out of food and the manager of the home had been making phone calls asking people to help.  She was so thankful for the generous donation.

The children you see in the picture are some of the orphans who live at the home.  They are healthy, happy and well-cared for.

John answered, "The man with two tunics should share with him who has none, and the one who has food should do the same."   Luke 3:11

YAHAYA

Yahaya - July 2009

Sick due to lack of healthcare and nutrition

Uneducated due to lack of funds for school fees

Yahaya - December 2009

Receiving good nutrition and healthcare

Receiving an education for the first time

But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.                 Luke 18:16

IHH Ghana Mission Update

*2 starving children were found by Pastor Mohammed. By the grace of God, IHH was able to send funds for nutritional food and medical care. It looks as if they are going to survive.

*IHH Missionary Pastor, Ziblim Mohammed, recently reported that today's big fund-raising effort by Shalom Baptist Church in Tarikpaa was a huge success. They raised enough funds for the foundation of the church.



*The church in Sankpem is almost complete. They currently meet under a tree.




*Funds for the water project in Sankpem, a very poor village with NO clean water source, continue to come in. IHH is scheduled to begin the task of piping clean water into the village as soon as January 1, 2010.



*IHH is in the process of launching a Widow Care Program in the Northern Region. Pastor M. has researched and identified widows who will benefit from the program by receiving 2 goats, healthcare registration and educational funds for the children. We are also looking at ways to help them become self-sufficient with raising their own food and learning a trade that will bring in enough funds to feed their children.

*Plans are underway for a Ghana 2010 Men's/Women's Conference at Tarikpaa. Pray as the leaders prepare curriculum and train team members.



*Suyuhini Napari and Eunice Alidu, 2 young village girls, are now attending Tamale Poly-Technic, thanks to generous donors.
