What an exciting summer this is going to be. As many of you know, as I am in my transition at HSM, I am still currently the Director of Missions and Outreach for another non-profit (The Wade Center, www.wadecenter.com) in Bluefield, WV. I absolutely love the opportunities God has placed before to serve Him in outreach locally and around the world.
As Director of M&O at Wade, I have been coordinating teams since november to come to Bluefield and minister to our At-Risk Children and Youth, do construction projects in the area, evangelism, VBS and run our Sports Camp. It will be 7 weeks of non-stop fun...and maybe a little stress, but worth every minute. I will be working there in the afternoon and evenings while still continuing to be at HSM during the day. My last day at Wade will be Aug. 5, so please keep me in your prayers as we dive into Summer!
PASTOR DISCIPLESHIP AND TRAINING CENTER
This is a very exciting time for HSM. We have been building a Discipleship Training Center for the past 7 years (debt free!!!) and it is near completion. We just need to smack some paint on the walls and finish decorating. This center is desperately needed for the Pastors and leaders that are all over Ghana. It would take several blogs to tell you all about this center, but you can visit our website (www.hsminc.org) to read all about it!
3 times a year, for ten weeks, we will be hosting 36 pastors from villages and cities all over Ghana to come and be discipled in the Word of God. Due to the lack of finances, pastors are unable to be a part of a school like this and be truly discipled in the Word. In order for them to come, they need to Be sponsored. It will cost $350 for ten weeks per pastor. This covers their food, housing, materials, utilities, etc! To break that down for you, it is just $5 a day for you to make an impact, not just in 1 person, but in the lives of possibly an entire village in Ghana! These pastors will return to their villages fully equipped to grow their church, spread the Word and disciple new believers!
I am working on putting together Pastor Bio's and uploading them in the near future on our website. Please contact me if you are interested in getting your church, small group, family, or youth together to sponsor a pastor. You can find 35 people to donate $10, you can sponsor 1 pastor! How amazing is that?! Consider the difference you can make with just donating $10....

So that all may know Him,
