Western Fraternal, Ghana

By the grace of the Almighty we held our fraternal at Moseaso from the 5th to the 8th of April. Our next fraternal will be at Subri from the 30th August to the 2nd of September, God willing.

Brethren and Sisters arrived on the 5th of April; there was no electricity as the level of the Akosombo dam was not high enough to generate it. Because of the lack of electricity we could not hold evening public preaching talks, so we had Bible discussion amongst ourselves in the dark. We yearn for the day when Christadelphians can own their own public address system, with a generator that will enable us to preach more effectively.

The theme for the fraternal was, ‘I am the way, the truth and the life’.

First address: ‘What is the way?’ by Bro. Odiko. Second address: ‘The Truth – what is it?’ by Bro. Larbi. Third address: ‘Jesus is the life’ by Bro. Amashie. Fourth address: ‘I am the way, the truth and the life – what did Jesus mean?’ by Bro. Odiko.

Two people were interviewed for baptism and both gave a good confession of their faith in the Kingdom of God and the things concerning the Name of Jesus Christ; they were baptised in the river.

The exhortation was given by Bro. Larbi after which we said our farewells until we meet again.

As you know, we have put our hands to the plough of the gospel in this part of the vineyard. We have no alternative but to help to till the ground and prune the plants (which are our Brethren and Sisters) with singleness of mind and in all humility.

We pray that the Lord will open our minds to the Scriptures so that we can preach to the lost sheep.

Life here is normal, with some contentment and we all send their greetings to the Brethren and Sisters everywhere.

Bro. Francis Odiko (Subri)
