Converts / Disciples
It was a blessing to be able to lead 22 people to Christ through personal soul winning in December and January. So many people here are open to the Gospel!
Early in December, Josiah witnessed to a teenage neighbor named Jeffrey. He readily trusted Christ! He started coming to church and brought his parents to church with him. Jeffrey followed the Lord in baptism a few weeks later!
I was able to visit Jeffrey’s father Benjamin on December 24. He was very open to the Gospel and happily placed his faith in Christ for salvation. I also preached to Jeffrey’s mother Hellen, who was already saved. I started doing our church discipleship lessons with Benjamin and Hellen. Please pray that they will be established in the faith and become faithful church members and disciples of Christ.
Here in Ghana, there are many men who are zealous to serve the Lord, but they lack a good foundation in correct Bible doctrine. I was in contact for some time with one such young man named Zerubbabel. After much interaction, Zerubbabel has relocated to Kumasi to join our Faithful Men training program. In January. he followed the Lord in baptism. He has been going soul winning with me and taking notes about how to give the Gospel. He has had a zeal for some time to win souls, but he didn’t know how to give the Gospel clearly. He is excited to now be equipped to preach the Gospel! He told me he would like to start a church in his hometown in the future! Please pray for Zerubbabel to continue to grow and be an effective servant of Christ.
School Preaching
In November and December, I was able to preach for several weeks in an area junior high school. After a few weeks of preaching, we distributed salvation work booklets to the students. We gave New Testaments to the students who were able to do the work booklet and prove that they understood and believed the Gospel. It was such a blessing to have several students testify to us that they trusted Christ as their Saviour through the result of the preaching and some through the salvation booklet! Please pray for more schools to open their doors to us.
SMITE Camp
We are preparing now for our upcoming SMITE Camp in April. This will be our 6th SMITE Camp. Each year, the camp has grown, and we are expecting a large number of youth this year. In the camp, we teach youth how to conduct Bible Clubs and win children to Christ. Last year, 16 of the campers surrendered their lives to be preachers. Please pray that God will give us wisdom as we prepare for the camp and that He will bring us many youth with tender hearts to serve Him.
In Christ,
Charles, Lindsey, Josiah, and Lily Osgood
