Prayer List!

This list is by no means exhaustive, I just humbly ask that my group and myself may remain on your heart and mind especially for the next two months.

I pray for you right now that through this, God may open or continue to open your heart and mind to the realities of this world and not shy away from these difficulties that we face but rather plunge in and fight the good fight with other soldiers of the gospel. I also pray that joy will overtake you wherever you are, I pray the love of God will permeate all that you do.


Pray for the softening of our hearts as we prepare to enter a culture other than what we have currently been in.

Pray that we may be totally dependent on the Holy Spirit's leading.

Pray for those that we would have the chance to interact with, pray that our conversations may be fruitful and seasoned with salt, to build others up.

Pray for the faces that will soon be engraved in our memories, that we may offer some word of encouragement or whatever need be so that God's work will continue.

Pray for the country of Ghana, and the Christians that are already in the different communities presently and are laboring to spread the good news.

Pray for the continent of Africa, that in the midst or all that is going on, war, famine, disease, whatever it may be, God will continue his work of building a new people, with a new hope and love that will stand for justice, peace, and equality.

Pray for the leaders of all the African countries, I believe that we live in a world in which everything is interrelated, what one person does directly affects another. What Togo does affects Ghana. What Ghana does affects Burkina Faso and South Africa. What South Sudan does affects Sudan. Click here Pray for these leaders and that their administration will perform tasks unselfishly and serve the people in a constructive manner.

Pray for sincere humility that seeks the interest of others before our own needs.

Pray that we may rely on divine strength when our finite strength reaches its limits.

Pray that we may take care of ourselves physically.

Pray for us to speak the word of God boldly and with conviction.

Pray that we may have balance and joy in all that we do.

Pray that love may be manifested and abound for those we meet.

Pray for us to have wisdom and discernment.

Pray for clarity when we present the gospel in the different contexts.



This is not all but will get you started. Thank you very much & God bless you!

Prayer for Ghana!

We thank God, the creator of the heaven and earth. There is none like him. There is none besides him. Lord, we give our lives and breath for the purpose of your will. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven!

My primary intention in writing this blog, is to beg you to keep me and my group in your prayers especially for the next three months. I want to thank everyone who has already been praying for the process of our trip to Ghana. I am very grateful! Thank you very much! Do not cease praying!


The process of planning and ironing out all the details of the trip are going good, but given the situation, there are some minor things that would probably not be absolutely certain till we step foot on the West African soil but we are fully confident and stand firm in God's watchfulness and provision. The plane tickets are bought. Yes! Praise the Lord! And it is only a few weeks away till we arrive in Ghana. My excitement juices are boiling and are overflowing. If I could, if it were possible, we would leave right now! But... we have to finish up the semester. Praise God for bringing us through another school year. There has been several people, organizations and churches that have assisted my group in going to Ghana, I am so thankful for their faithfulness. I thank God for their lives, they are just as much part of this trip to Ghana as us that are going. I want to reintroduce what our time in Ghana is going to look like, and my prayer right now is that these things may be on your heart and mind so that you will continuously lift us up in prayer. Prayer is key. I believe in wholehearted unceasing prayer. Please be praying for us as a group. Please be in prayer for me! Here is how our time in Ghana is going to kind of look like:


1) Leave DFW May 13th, and arrive in Ghana Monday morning on the 14th.

2) Spend 3-4 days in the capital Accra learning about the people and exploring the history and culture of Ghana.

3) May 16th, arrive in Dzodze (where most of our time will be spent) meet family and friends.
----Continue planning details of  soccer outreach with partnering churches and schools in the community.

4) May 20th- 26th, Orphanage Week. We will be spending a week with Ryvanz Mia Orphanage in Kpando, Volta Region, sharing the love of Jesus Christ with children ranging from ages 1-18, and also lending a hand in some grounds-keeping work.

5) May 28th- June 1st, Carry out community outreach, and pick-up soccer at school fields. We will also be volunteering at St. Anthony's hospital serving those that are sick and in need.

6) June 2nd- June 6th, Visit more family members and friends and pick-up soccer.



I, being an African, I'm very terrified of having a schedule this strict (some might not even think it is strict), but if you understand my context, you know what I mean. Allthesame, I know it does not take a genius to decipher that there is absolutely no chance our four weeks will go exactly according to our schedule. I am thankful for the learning experience that this is going to be, and all I can do now is prepare the best that God has enabled me, and pray for the Holy Spirit to fall afresh! I will be addressing topics to be praying for in an upcoming blog as the list continues to develop in my head. But one thing I know for sure, is that Ghana, the USA, or any other country in the world needs more of God's Spirit to permeate and transform lives physically and spiritually. Pray that my group will be seekers of God and His Spirit. Pray also that God's love will guide us in conversations and interactions.

I better stop here, and save the prayer list for another blog like I promised.

Be blessed and know the God is moving and working in this world. He has been from the beginning!
