Dear friends & family,
Thanks so much for your prayer support the last few months. We thank God for His grace over Enoch’s family as they completed the final funeral rites for their father in February.
In March, we traveled to Suburini, Gmanejere and Accra in preparation for a Short Term Ministry team from First Alliance Church (Calgary), coming in April over the Easter season. I have been encouraged in my ministry through their preparations for the lessons and activities they will conduct with two of the Mission Schools in Northern Ghana. Their passion and zeal, attention to detail and thoughtfulness in delivering the Easter message of Jesus’ death and resurrection is evident.
Please pray with us as we continue to prepare. Pray for the children and people in Suburini and Gmanejere, for the spiritual and physical health of all team members, and for God to be made known and glorified through this STM.
Unfortunately, I was unable to finalize my immigration documents this month, though I had expected to be finished with it all a couple of months ago. However, I’m optimistic that it will be ready by the end of this month. Thanks for your continued prayer support.
Yesterday (March 23), we celebrated the ordination of Reverend Thomas Sherro, who pastors Guno church near Tamale. Reverend Ezekiel Gbande was also ordained in Kpandai in February. CIM has been working alongside Reverend Sherro and Reverend Gbande for many years and it is a joy to see the Lord’s favor upon them. During Rev. Sherro’s ordination, I particularly appreciated each of his church congregations’ traditional dance and songs in their local dialect. It is so beautiful and joyous to hear the gospel truth proclaimed in each tribe’s heart language. I
n Nyankpala, we continue to learn through the ABCs of God’s prophecies through Jesus. Please pray for the children and their families, as their Ramadan fasting is coming to an end in a few days. Pray for the Holy Spirit to touch their hearts and reveal Himself to them.
Please also continue to pray for the various church planters across Ghana. There will be some transitions for a few of our pastors in the upcoming months. Pray for God’s leadership in their lives and provision for their families as they face new changes. Please let us know how we can also be praying for you.
God bless you, Janice, Enoch & Lucy Jabab
Enoch和我(Janice)都是在年輕時信主的，因為我們都在基督教家庭長大並參加教會。以諾的母親總是以身作則，向家人示範如何以上帝放首位和服務他人的重要性。這種為了上帝的榮耀而為他人服務的生活在以諾年輕時就得到了極大的傳承。我從2009年開始參加加納的短宣，在那裡神開始把對加納人民的愛放在我的心裡。
神在2018 年回應了我的決志禱告並確認了我的呼召。我向神禱告，求祂將馬可福音10 章29-30 節的經文告訴我生命中的某個人，作為我在加納全職事奉的確認是出於上帝的旨意。在神完美的供應下，一週後，當我的牧師從馬可福音第 10 章開始講道時，祂確認了對我的呼召。
我目前在 CIM 的角色
我是加拿大國際華人宣教協會(CIM)的加拿大駐加納的國際同工，負責監督 CIM 加拿大和當地教會 (E.C.G.) 之間的一些行政工作。我們與九個 E.C.G. 牧者們共同合作，一起參與了周邊農村地區多達 22 個佈道點的植堂工作。我們也支援 了3 間E.C.G. 的教會學校及其教師們。在我們現在身處的城鎮Nyankpala，我們與大學校園事工的學生合作，每週組織一次兒童俱樂部，讓社區內的孩子們認識福音。
