Sword & Trowel 2016: Issue 2


The congregation and the newly fi nished building


provision of their basic needs makes them attentive, because they real- ise we love and care for them even though they are despised and rejected by others. At present there are 35 in the school but this varies as they are passing through the justice system. We meet outside, under a mango tree, for evangelistic Bible studies, and about 20, who are trusted not to abscond, are allowed to visit our services.


This ministry has been very fruit- ful, with boys converted and baptised over the years, two of the past boys becoming evangelists, one in Tema and the other in Akosombo. One is mainly in prisons ministry and I re- cently gave him some of Dr Masters’ books when he visited me. There are many examples of changed behaviour. For example, two of them found a wallet with a lot of money and a passport and took it to their housemaster. The fi nd was an- nounced on a radio station and the owner rewarded the boys. Truly, the Lord is saving his elect among these


notorious boys as they hear the Gos- pel. Jesus said, ‘I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.’ I also have testimonies to share of people who are rejoicing in fi nding a church with sound doctrine and rev- erent worship. A man working at the Ministry of Education was invited by a teacher in our church. Initially he turned down the invitation but later visited us and was converted as he heard the Gospel. Asked why he fi rst refused the invitation he said he thought all the churches were the same, because the many he had visit- ed only preached a prosperity gospel and/or claimed to perform miracles, but he has now found a true church.
