Dear BROTHER John & Family,
Dear Brother John & family,
l am very sorry for inability to inform you before going back to Western region again, precisely Nzema l had a call so l have to return to do deliverance for some people who was attack by demons,
l want to tell you more about this area,
The Nzema land is know as the black island, because of the power of darkness still have a strong hold on many of the people through black magic, witchcraft , money rituals and curses, the rural communities in these areas is experiencing these spirits,
lt takes the word of God to bring light to the peoples over there, as l went to follow up to do deliverance, l realize that the old habit and customs seems hard to break for some is changing, Praise God for the advancement of the Gospel in this area, l took away 800 Bibles , the numbers that came to the program ranged 850, in 10 communities visited, was saved in CHRIST NAME.
Many from the deliverance and prayer meetings made a decision to baptise and recommit their lives to JESUS CHRIST, Please continue to pray for the people of this area.
We live in the Globe where the lives of people are filled with Anger, fear , anxiety, loneliness, bitterness, hatred, immorality, witchcraft, wizard, killing humanbeings to get money , fraudulant means to get rich, worshiping idols or gods and others.
These are all signs or symptoms that something is greatly lacking in the lives of many here, People are saying is there any hope of finding true peace and happiness,, Absolutely yes, l told them that the real answer is Accepting Christ into their lives, and Change will come,
Please 850 people got saved, l wish to visit the place again , when God permit, They need Bibles and Cloths and others
l use my voice to preached the gospel without PA system, so l am appealing to get some to rest my natural voice a bit.
l thank you for your help, Brother John and Sister Nancy may Our Heavenly Father Bless you all.
UPDATE: September 3rd.

Dear Brother John & Family,
Yes some churches have but others don't have, so l am using a book entitle; FOUNDATION OF CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE by Kelvin Conner, you can also send yours to boost the teaching materials,
l understand you, using God , intead of Father, and the word hope, l went to swedru area for evangelism and l am back this morning and l went to the said man to pick the Pc, ask l told you before,but it is without the printer. l need to get the printer. ( I am teaching her about calling God 'Father' Too many know Him as Mr God.. His hearts desire is that we know Him as "Abba' or Father and the difference between faith and hope)
l am look for a meeting place to start sunday evening fellowship, at the center of Accra, there all my converts in various towns can come there to worship.
Please, let us know when you are come, because l may need this Book; The Mac Arthur Bible Commentary, we don't have some in Ghana,
l had only 12 peoples in the area for Christ, l will take all of them to the mountain for Prayers and deliverance, we will go with Samson,
Very soon l will get the muslim girls a room,

Samson is benefiting from the teachings you posted to me,...
Thank you for your teachings and old peoples or converts is also doing well. (these are the girls in the photos below)
Phyllis
John: I asked her some questions about what she did with them! Here is her response,
Q: What are you doing with the people you get saved? Do you have a church you can take them too?
A: No l don't have a church, but l have lead them to nearby churches and ministries, because where l am doing evangelism is far from my church, and due to financial contrain l thought , it is better to send them to nearby Holy Ghost Baptistism churches, at their locations, l am preaching now at South Ofankor area, also l will continue to visit them and see to it that they don't depart from Christ, ( supervision on them, by me.)
Q: Why are 3 of them living with you? Do they not have anywhere? Who feeds them?
A: They are moslems girls, and family and relatives has rejected them, here in Ghana if a muslim converted to Christ, it is their habitual rule to sack you, from the family house . unless other wise the said person in question is renting or having his or her own rent ed room,
l feed them with the little resources Dear l have. l will look a room for them very soon,
John: Let's help Phyliss do something with her converts.. Below is her story in her own words..
ABOUT PHYLISS:
We first came in contact with her when we received an email from her in the early part of 2006, asking for bibles for her outreach program. As we talked with her, her story began to unfold..
She is 26 years old and located in Ghana, West Africa. She sadly lost both her parents when she was young and had to turn to the age old trade of prostitution to survive. She is very resourceful young lady committed to Jesus Christ and reaching others for the glory of God. I will let Phyliss tell her story in her own words..
"..l am glad to hear from you again, lnfact l am a Ghanaian and l speak in English through the Grace OF GOD,l could not able to complete school due to loosing both parents, in accident. that is my saddest sorry, so l do try my basic english that l know and as l read my bible day by day, l recongnise the words and even l preach in english, in locations or communities that dont l understand my language,
Brother, l will start practising your advice, on the words , giving to me , l want to be a great woman of God and reach on reached FOR CHRIST in this end time, even if it takes my life , l will continue to do so,"
I asked her about how she got saved. It's quite amazing what is going on out there. I don't advocate anybody trying to get people saved this way!!
MY LIFE;
l was a prostitute at the age of 15 years, and practise the said trade for five years, l lost my parents and l didnot have any body to help me, so l started this indicent trade for survival, but one day l met one man who took me to his house, butdid not have an affair with me ,so the following day he pay me , and said he want me to stay there for one week, payment will be made, l ask him why he dont want to have an affair with me, he gave me so much execuses,
Any time the man goes to work he lock me up, l sleep in one room and the man's one room, he begin to preach me about CHRIST , MY SAVIOUR, and then l stay there for one month and l got repented, so l begin to preach my colleagues who practice this trade, to stop,
My focus is to reach the young women, who are harlots, destitutes, and trocose women, who is slave by gods(devils) and HIV/ AIDS victims
l preach where women are gatherings and l bet you l will fight to pronounce CHRIST to these women groups, infact Ghana a lot of women are in protitutions because of poverty, lack of education, lack of parentary care, and ldoi worships, these are my vision and l want to purchase a land to estalblish rehabilitation centre, to house , rejected women, who dont have houses to live in, so that we can worship Christ in peace, as you have done for me.
Please, l wear size 8, but my concern is,if you register the parcel , l can't pay duty, and dont send it through airmail, post them through surface mail, even that one l will still pay duty , but not much.
Your country is ahead of Ghana time, that is yours is over 10 hours , l beleave it is night in AUSTRALIA,
l want to thank you and Sister Nancy, for your support, and continue praying for me to fight a good fight of faith,to reach these peoples, for CHRIST, l had opportunity to rescue in time , some of my colleagues have died from HIV/ AIDS and other sicknesses,or accidence and of course total degradation of lives,
Thank you so much, l hope to hear from you again,
Phyllis
Phyliss preaching at her local church.
She lives in an area called Dangbe west district, about 25 kilometres from Accra, where she goes to preach to the prostitutes.. "l was a former prostitute, and By God's Grace, l am now a Evangelist, l preach at women groupings and meetings, Harlot stands or Roundabout of the Prostitutes loitering,"
Rents in Accra are a lot higher than where she currently stays. When i asked her about her daily life and ambitions, this is what she wrote:
Dear Brother,
My daily life is , going out to preach to any one seeing on the street, house to house evangelism, and night go out there to preach those in harlots, but it is not easy , because sometimes being as old colleague , and come and destroy their night duties, it causes me , a lot of insults and intimedation,but l am doing my best to reach them for our Christ,
l do also preach in woman's meetings, yesterday for example l preach at some church and later meet their woman ministry, for another talks,
As for how to get money , sometime get from individuals, who has seen God in me,that is why , ln terms of monetary, l suffered, some said may l am not getting market, from men , that is why , l said lm born again, l know that it is the plan of the devil to keep me from what l am doing, yesterday for intance, the said church gave me only transportation,
My plan is to, buy intruments, projector, and land to estalblish rehabilitation center to create income generating ventures for those who has accept Jesus Christ , and suffer like me to get money to pay their bills , cater for themselves, so as to avoid going back to the world, know also that Brother, without this mechanism put into place, maybe some of them will not sacrifice like me,
l will get some photos this week, l will speak at women gathering also on wednesday, on the topic , THE COVENANT OF GOD. so please remind me in your prayers for ,impactation. Thank you.

Phyliss and some of her 'converts'
Remember, these girls give up everything for Christ.. They have may have nice dresses (from former days) but they now have no income and rely, as Phyliss puts it.. "My people stays in Accra and Tema, and they now live under the mercies of people they know, not bad habit friends, they also are suffering like me, that is why l will to do income generating ventures, to get income to help them , this will even bring more for Christ,Because it is not easy for them as you see it, They are suffering"
Her house in Shanty town. It costs her $25US a month plus electricity and she eats about $5US a day. She has to travel 25 kilometres by bus to Accra, where she ministers to whosoever..
In her own words.. ".. in God's belove son , who rescue me in time pass, now though l dont have money like my formal days , but if l have CHRIST JESUS, lhave all things, l will never , never turning back to the , world, there is nothing in the dark world, though whether trial and temptataions , hardships and any , lwill still stand for Christ My master"
If you would like to sow some seed into good soil.. here is your opportunity, both for her and her 'converts' ~ What you purpose in your heart is between you and the Lord. Simply let us know and we will put you in contact with her. (She comes into a 'cybercafe' in Accra to get her emails)
We hope to meet with her in person, later next year, when will be holding crusades and teaching seminars in Africa.
God Bless
John
