It was my great pleasure to introduce Prince Paul Konu to friends this past month.  Prince Paul had come to the USA to speak at the annual report dinner of M/E International.  While he was here I was able to corral him for a weekend and bring him to speak at my church (Murrieta Valley Church), visit with several families and come to our Sunday night Bible study.

Each visit gave Prince Paul and I the chance to share the great things God is doing in Ghana among tribal people.  On the Monday night after his visit with my church Prince Paul spoke to the attendees of the annual report dinner.  Jim Ford, executive director of the board, also interviewed me during the meeting and I had a chance to share first hand accounts of what is happening through the ministry of M/E International in Ghana.

Jim Ford has invited me to join the board of directors with a primary role of developing the discipleship program for churches that are growing out of the immense response to the Gospel in tribes and villages in countries throughout the world.

M/E is especially burdened for China.  There about 4000 village evangelists whom M/E has participated with and the hope is we can multiply this 100 fold.

God had called us as missionaries and I had a dream of where I wanted to go.  BUT GOD…  God spoke to us about Mexico and we spend 15 years working in church planting and discipleship there.  We thought that our ministry was all but over when both Joni and I became ill, Joni with Lyme Disease and myself with 2 strokes.  This brought us back to the USA living basically and wondering how God could use us.  I began to write to Prince Paul and those letters had a huge impact of the ministry in Ghana.  Now Jim Ford wants me to put them to use in many countries and develop even more.  “Death of a Vision” it’s called.  When things die in ministry God is faithful and invited us to be even more fruitful.

And by the way, the place I had always had a heart for and finally figured I would never be a missionary too…

CHINA

What a way to live!!
