George Korah, National Director in Ghana, recently wrote that he shared Dr. Lo’s book, God’s Call to Holiness , with his friend. This is the textbook Dr. Lo taught from during his visit to Ghana earlier this year. Pastor George wrote: “A friend of mine recently gave his life to Jesus after going through the book God’s Call to Holiness  by Rev. Jim Lo. “I gave the book to him. He said the book is self leading, spiritual, and contains all that it takes to know God and surrender

A team of four men traveled to Ghana in late January to visit the work and teach at the Pastor’s Conference. The team consisted of Travis Sayler, former missionary Jere Gowin, Bill Lee, and Dr. Jim Lo. Dr. Lo, who was himself a missionary for several years in Africa and is a friend of Jere’s, brought his book God’s Call to Holiness , which he used as the curriculum for the training sessions at the Pastor’s Conference, January 24-27. Jere, Bill, and Travis participated in the

Each fall we bring to you an appeal for the Annual Harvest Offering for World Missions. This year, we are excited to tell you about two projects that are worthy of your support. Since the first graduating class in 2004, Shiloh Bible College in Myanmar has trained many church planters and Christian workers. However, the Bible college has always met in rented facilities. This year they have begun new construction—their own building on their own land. The plan is to build four f

The village of Sogla in northwest Ghana is famous for its local idol. In fact, when missionary Jere Gowin first went to the village leaders in 2010 to ask permission to minister, he was told, in effect, “No, thanks. We’re happy with our idol.” That sentiment changed, however, through the witness of a man named Bakuri. Bakuri was the first believer in the village of Gurumbelle. He was also so successful in planting a school in that village, that he was asked to move to Sogla,

In April, Pastor George traveled to a small community named Gore near our church in Glang to show the JESUS Film. Three ladies gave their lives to Jesus after watching the film! The next week, Pastor George tried to show the JESUS Film at another village nearby. But such outreach efforts are not without risk. It soon became apparent that there were fights and quarrels going on in the village for reasons unknown, and Pastor George and his team had to stop the film early. He la

In late January, Pastor George Korah conducted a thanksgiving service for a church member who had passed away at the Motigu church in Ghana. The service was conducted outside under a tree, as the Motigu congregation does not have a building in which to worship. After the service, two elderly ladies from the village gave their lives to Christ. One of them shared her testimony with Pastor George: “I have not been well for the past two weeks and always indoors. I was sleeping in

In a recent article, Pastor George Korah in Ghana considered how God works in sometimes surprising ways. “Where do great leaders come from?” he wrote. “Small towns (in Ghana) are not generally known for producing great leaders. Small towns lack opportunities, they are not centers of power or influence, and there is limited support to develop leaders.” On Christmas Day, Pastor George was in one such small village, Sing, about 8 kilometers outside the town of Wa. “Sing is a vil

Pictured: A group of new young leaders poses with Pastor George (second from right) outside the Ducie church. A few years back I thought I could do everything in the ministry. I thought I was strong, young, and energetic. I had a strong motor bike to move from village to village to do everything for the ministry. Frankly speaking, in some villages I used to do the order of service, teach songs/hymns, lead the Bible study, preach, and other duties. A meeting without me or othe

Preaching the gospel is the commission Jesus Christ gave to His followers. But the big question is, “How?” How can we preach the Gospel with power, especially today? Times and things my change, but the message remains the same. We are commanded by our Leader of Salvation to “go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all people” (Mark 16:15, GNB). Evangelism in Ducie The people of Ducie are part of the Chakali tribe in the northern part of Ghana, precisely in the

Abram* gave his testimony at the 2019 Ghana Convention: “I am Abram, a native Muslim by birth. Since I was born into that family, they say it is a must that I stay as a Muslim, else they will disown me. But I never ever have peace with myself and God anytime I perform prayers to Allah. I was like being forced to pray and love Allah. This haunted me for a long time. “My dealings with the Christians in the village always gave me joy, and I believe Jesus was calling me to come
