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)都是在年轻时信主的，因为我们都在基督教家庭长大并参加教会。以诺的母亲总是以身作则，向家人示范如何以上帝放首位和服务他人的重要性。这种为了上帝的荣耀而为他人服务的生活在以诺年轻时就得到了极大的传承。我从2009年开始参加加纳的短宣，在那里神开始把对加纳人民的爱放在我的心里。
神在2018 年回应了我的决志祷告并确认了我的呼召。我向神祷告，求祂将马可福音10 章29-30 节的经文告诉我生命中的某个人，作为我在加纳全职事奉的确认是出于上帝的旨意。在神完美的供应下，一周后，当我的牧师从马可福音第 10 章开始讲道时，祂确认了对我的呼召。
我目前在 CIM 的角色
我是加拿大国际华人宣教协会(CIM)的加拿大驻加纳的国际同工，负责监督 CIM 加拿大和当地教会 (E.C.G.) 之间的一些行政工作。我们与九个 E.C.G. 牧者们共同合作，一起参与了周边农村地区多达 22 个布道点的植堂工作。我们也支援 了3 间E.C.G. 的教会学校及其教师们。在我们现在身处的城镇Nyankpala，我们与大学校园事工的学生合作，每周组织一次儿童具乐部，让社区内的孩子们认识福音。
