CD Ministry to Ghana

 

Below are four Emails from Ghana on Friday and Saturday January 18 and 19, 2008.  Generation Word is trying to figure out a way to get our Bible Teaching into the hands of these pastors, leaders and Christians in Ghana, Liberia, Zambia and more.  Below are request for 2,650 sets of the Bible School CDs.  There are 52 CDs in each set or a total of 137,000 CDs just for the Bible School.

 

Email #1 Request for 150 sets of Bible School on CD

I want to salute you and tell you our important message.  First of all I thank you so much for your kind gestures to the world by teaching all of us.

Please Sir, our organization name is Pastor Camps which is operate rural Bible schools through out Ghana, because majority of the land scape of Ghana has been neglected for very long time, that is why God Call me to lead a group of Pastors and teachers, to form this ministry call Pastor’s Camps.

 

Please we need the underlisted CD’s:

  1. Bible School (part one) – 500 sets
  2. Bible School (part two) – 500 sets

  9. Wake Up, Church. . . It’s Getting Late – 200 sets

 

Sir, these are the materials we need to reach out our students and the churches as a whole, Northern Ghana need help because majority of the ministries don’t want to go to such areas which have very bad weather, tribal wars, and Islamic religion is in domination, due to the feeling we hope your Bible School CD’s will be very good for us in the north.

 

The area have 95% Muslims we need to reach there for Christ we believe through your ministry and we here in Ghana we can raise more missionaries and pastors at that ends.

Please as soon as they get the parcels the UNHCR officials will be bring to us, this the way out we are using to request books and other Christian materials from U.K. and USA.

 

I hope you help us, we poor pastors to get busy on God’s work again, but Sir, if you can not fulfill all our request and you can assist us to produce them locally which will be cheap cost in here, will be appreciated, though I don’t know how much it cost you to produce one there?

 

I hope our supplication will granted in Christ name.  War has destroy our country, we need to revive the country on FOUNDATIONS OF CHRIST JESUS TO AVOID WARS, Thanking you for your understanding.
