THE LORD’S PERSPECTIVE

THE PAST

Priscilla and I were part of a pioneering urban ministry team in Atlanta for about 10 years. This ministry, Mount Paran Urban Ministry, later became known as Safehouse Atlanta. At the end of these ten years, God began to move us into worldwide missions through a series of dreams and visions. In 1998, King, Priscilla, Benton and Elyse left the U.S.A. for World Mission, our first stop was Jamaica. We attended the School for Missionary Development, in Golden Grove, St. Ann. After completion we were asked to come on staff, we stayed on staff for one school session.

After completing our training and teaching assignments in Jamaica, we left for Africa. By God’s Spirit, He had revealed to us the city of Tamale in Ghana, as our post of assignment.

THE PRESENT

The ministry that the Lord has entrusted to us here in Ghana is multifaceted encompassing the following:

Caring and Compassion

Dental/eye care services
Food for the poor (House of Joseph)
City of Refuge
Missionary retreats

Enriching Lives Through Educational Training

Sports evangelism (Basketball, volleyball and soccer)
Vocational school
Adult night schools
School scholarships

Creating Community

Peace initiative
Building relationships with tribal leaders

Fulfilling the Great Commission

Discipleship
Preaching and teaching
Village evangelism and outreach
Hosting short-term mission teams

THE FUTURE

Right from the beginning, God made us understand that Tamale was going to be a prototype to be duplicated in many nations. After 10 years of hearing and following God’s directives, the time has arrived to transplant our first crop to another nation and people group.

We are moving one of our disciples and his family – Pastor Zakaria Amidu (Pastor Zak) and his wife, Hannah along with their three children to this new field.

MALI

ABOUT MALI

Mali is the 7th largest country in Africa and it is about the size of Alaska. The population is around 12 million and 90% Islamic with 1% Christians. There is very little witness, if any, in the area that God has called us.

The majority of the people are illiterate and the income per capita is lower than Ghana. We are going to minister to the people of Mali through compassionate care consisting of dental and eye care, and vocational education. Our most important function to share the love of God with them and provide encouragement.
