Campus ministry has been going great! The men in the dorms
have really opened up to us and allowed us to speak into their lives. Josh and
Weston decided to start a bible study group with the men in Kwame Nkrumah Hall
and somehow I became the one to lead it! I prayed a lot about what God wanted
me to show them. The first time I taught 12 guys showed up! It was awesome!
People would walk by and hear what I was talking about and stay to listen. I
could feel the Holy Spirit show up every time we had this bible study.
Especially when God had put it on my heart to talk about the misconceptions of
Christianity in Ghana.
Many people here in Ghana believe if you take part in the
following you are not a Christian: tattoos, Dreadlocks, alcohol, etc. Some
people even take it as far as if you do these things you negate your salvation,
many people feel like you can lose your salvation. It was very difficult for us
to get them to see truth in these matters. So many Ghanaians have fallen into
condemnation of their brothers and sisters in Christ because of these
fallacies. Thanks be to God that He has given us favor amongst these people and
they truly listen to what we have to say. On the day I was supposed to teach
again God put these matters really heavy on my heart. When it came time to
speak I was filled with the Spirit and God’s love and grace flowed from my
words. On some things I rebuked them openly about what they were doing, but out
of Love and not out of a spirit of condemnation. I ended up speaking for 1hour
and 20 minutes, and at the end some of the guys confessed their sins openly and
asked us to pray for them.
This is a video about what a man named Cornelius learned
from our time together. I believe Cornelius to be a man who will change Africa
for Christ. It was an honor to speak truth to him and bring light into areas he
didn’t understand.
