Baraka and Melanie Hall Prayer Letter: God Is Able!
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” (Ephesians 3:20-21) “God is able!” has been our rallying cry these past few months. In our last letter, I explained to you how God had allowed our family to travel to Cape Coast and preach at a Deaf Conference with Pastor Miguel Triano and Pastor Michael Anafo. In that conference, my wife was able to share the Gospel with a Deaf young lady named Rose, and she trusted Christ alone for salvation. Rose is one of the seniors from the only high school for the Deaf who is responsible for scheduling Sunday chapel speakers in their boarding school. Rose messaged me in July, asking me to speak to the Deaf students. The first week of August, I, along with Bro. Ali Rashid (our assistant pastor) and my son Malachi, traveled 5 hours to preach the Gospel to over 400 Deaf students. Almost everyone made a profession of faith, trusting Christ as their Saviour! GOD IS ABLE!
In September, we started the second year for Hope Academy for the Deaf. We are currently enrolling only the Deaf children from our church. We are not ready to promote our school, as we do not have large enough facilities. However, this term, two new Deaf students from local communities found us and enrolled in our school. They are both now attending our church as well. Please pray for this school year. Pray for our students, as they are beginning to learn language; most of them first came to us not even knowing their name. While our desire is to teach them all of the fundamentals—reading, writing, and arithmetic, most importantly, our desire is to teach them about our Saviour, Jesus Christ. GOD IS ABLE!
In our last prayer letter, we shared with you how God has led us to the property we believe to be the permanent home for our church and ministries. In order to purchase this property, we needed to raise $120,000 by November 30, 2024. God has already been at work through His people, and we have received roughly $45,000 and are looking forward to see how God will bring in the remaining $75,000. To give our people an opportunity to participate, our church kicked off an 8-week program in September. This program is meant to encourage our people to give sacrificially for their new church home, to invite new and old visitors to fill the pews (chairs), and to share the Gospel with their Deaf friends who have never “heard” of the hope that they can have in Jesus Christ. For the past 4 weeks, they have given over 5,000 Ghana cedis (this is huge for our church), and we have had 45 Deaf visitors, with 28 trusting Christ as their Saviour. GLORY TO GOD! We are inviting you to pray and partner with us in this truly amazing opportunity to give our church a permanent home.
This investment will have ongoing returns, as the Gospel will be preached to the Deaf in Ghana for years to come. Please view our newest video update on our FBMI web page, https://fbmi.org/missionary/hall, and consider what God would have you to give. GOD IS ABLE!
