God’s Faithfulness (A Story)



I have just returned from leading a GI mission team to the country of Ghana, West Africa.  Global Infusion has been working in Ghana for over 10 years.  We have seen God grow the ministry from one small city church, and a few possible village church plants, to a large city church and fifteen village churches.  To say God is faithful is an understatement.  Let’s go back in time.


Pastor Daniel was born one of 24 children in a remote African village.  He was miraculously saved, educated, and became a high level executive at a rubber company (one of Ghana’s main exports).  At the pinnacle of success, Pastor Daniel heard the voice of God to leave his job and reach the villages of Ghana with the Gospel.  So he did, and God was faithful.


The villages of Africa are poor, extremely poor.  Some do not even use money—they barter with each other.  To reach these areas requires nothing short of a calling from God and His anointing, anything less, and a person will fail.  Daniel prayed, and strategized.  He felt the best way to reach the villages, was to plant a city church and use the resources they could generate there to evangelize the remote regions.  His plan worked, and God was faithful.


Every GI team we have sent to Ghana has been a part of evangelizing in unreached villages, as well as facilitating church services to reach the lost.  He has since started a Christian school, which both city kids and village kids can receive a Christ-centered education.  We have sent education teams repeatedly to help him and his staff.  The school has grown, and God has been faithful.


There is no explanation, other than the goodness and faithfulness of God, as to how an impoverished village boy becomes a Pastor and overseer of 15 churches.  If you prayed for my team and I, thank you.  We saw over 100+ people saved, baptized 15 in the Atlantic Ocean, shared the Gospel on a radio broadcast that reaches over 1 million people, and spent many hours teaching impoverished children in our contact's school.  God is Faithful!
