Kaase Bible Study

This past week has marked another step. Over the past year and a half the work has been centred around two Bible study locations. This last week the Lord added to that number. Some of the people that attend our large Sunday morning meetings, live quit a distance from our Thursday night studies and cannot attend. For this reason they have been requesting a study in their area. I kept telling them that after they where able to have a few visitors start to attend on a regular basis, we would consider starting a new study.

This last week that time came. The new study is located in a shanty town called Kaase. It was such a blessing to start these meetings. Bismark, Peter, and Abigail were able to attend. (They all attend on Sundays). Also there were three other adult ladies in attendance, some teenagers, and a few children. The little zinc roofing sheet structure that we used was pretty full for the first week. (It also made a deafening sound when it rained, but the Lord allowed it to stop before the preaching started).

It is more rural than some of our other Bible studies. Most of the people there could not read. It is a heavy responsibility when a preacher understands that the people are trusting every word he is saying. They do not have any ability to read for themselves or study. It adds a lot of pressure. He needs to study hard and make sure that the message is a clear presentation of Bible truth.

Our hope is to visit through all of these homes and invite people. We are quiet hopeful. The homes do not have any water or electricity. This makes some things easier, since most people are open to attending. There is not much else to do but work or sleep.

After the meeting Nat (one of the young men that has offered to help) told Andrew that it really helped him to attend the meeting. He told Andrew that until he went to shanty town he did not know that he had so much to be thankful for!!!

Here are a few photos-



Here are a few photos that I took Friday while visiting in the Kaase Shanty Village. The first is of some local broom straws that people in Ghana us to sweep. They are drying. After drying they will be separated and formed into smaller brooms. The second is one of the shanty. The third is a picture of two Guinea Fowls that we show on our way back to Nat's house.
