In 2021, Operation Renewed Hope conducted a medical clinic in the Wenchi, Ghana region. One of the villages in which ORH worked was the village of Assoufiri, a small village on the edge of vast bush area.
The team was warned that a religious leader had told his congregation that if they attended the clinic, they would receive a vaccination which would take their lives. Upon arrival in Assoufiri, it was obvious that the message had reached the population of the village. No one wanted to come to the clinic but would stand a distance off and come no closer.
Eventually, a woman was brave and came to the dentist for care. This broke the apprehensions, and people gradually came. We treated patients and preached the Gospel for two days with some patients trusting Christ.
Later, a Bible study began led by a Bible College graduate. To advance this work, ORH bought motorcycles for the leaders and sent $100 per month for expenses for travel, food, and lodging. These leaders were faithful to meet under a tree in the village.
It was requested that ORH help with a building. In order to start the effort, land had to be purchased, so ORH sent $1500 to buy a small lot. As time progressed, more money became available. The picture above is the present progress of the building. In the picture, you see the baked bricks ready for the masons to begin the work on the walls. This is a result of a lady recently providing $1500 for the building.
The religious man tried to stop the work in Assoufiri, but God would not allow it.
ORH thanks all who have given to keep the work of the Gospel going around the world, and another Bible-preaching church planted where none existed previously.
