He Who Finds A Wife… (Prov 18:2)

Our brother, friend, and co-missionary Godfred Narteh tied the knot with his beloved Faustina. The glorious wedding took place in Sunyani and our team was there to support him and his bride. Please remember them in your prayers that their union will continue to stand on the foundations of God’s word, that their home will always be filled with the joy of the Lord, and be a model of a God-honoring, eternity-minded family.

The Damdu Community

Damdu is one of the communities in which the EFM missionaries work. This community used to be very vibrant in their receptivity to the gospel, among the villages we work in. However, they have recently become very hostile to us. Some the young men in the village are protesting that even if their Chief provides us with a land to build a church, they will still oppose the construction of the building.

Persecution of Muslim Converts

Mma Zeinab and other converted ladies who used to be part of our Bible listening group have been under intense persecution from some individuals in the Damdu community. The people have refused to buy the goods these women sell, and to promote indoctrination, the Islamic leaders in the community sent these women to an Islamic school of Quran recitation in Tamale.

Mma Zeinab, who in the past refused to join the Muslim fast, began to avoid us because of the constant persecution. To further keep her distance and worsen our relationship she asked us not to visit her again as she is back to Islam.

Though God has blessed us with other converts we are discipling in Damdu, the general hostility is still very evident. This is because some converts such as Kande have been warned by the Muslims not to invite us into his home anymore. Others also rudely take their children from the Sunday School sessions we hold for them. We however continue to show them love and pray for the community because we have no doubt that it is the devil at work, but the victory has already been won through Jesus Christ’s death on the cross of Calvary.
