As you may know, we opened Mt'Zion Training Center in September 2001 with the purpose of offering Bible classes. We began with 42 students that represented 7 different denominations. Twenty of those were Pastors and lay leaders of Wa township. Twenty-two of those were indigenous pastors and new disciples from the interior "bush" churches and villages. Eleven of which cannot read or write, but they are starving for God's Word and instruction in Biblical Training. It has been a marvelous year!

With God's direction, we have been able to open a whole new world of hope, encouragement, mobilization and exposure to Biblical principles that has never existed in this forgotten comer of Northern Ghana. MTC students are now better equipped to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ back to their own villages where they can evangelize, nurture and pastor their own flocks.

We believe that MTC will produce preachers, teachers, missionaries and servants of the Lord for years to come that will not only affect Northern Ghana but also all of West and North Africa and even beyond. One family is already praying with us in preparation to go to Tunisia. This small country lies between Algeria and Libya. What a strategic spot for the Lord to use an African national missionary!!

Endless ministry opportunities exist in the region where we live and we need help. We need teachers of Bible Study, English language, computer skills and humanitarian workers. Most of all, we need people who love God and love people.

So as this next year of MTC continues, we ask that you pray about how you can help. We obviously need finances and resources but most importantly we need partners who will intercede on our behalf and who will also come to the field and help. Two people came in 2002, so if they can do it... you can do it! Whether it be 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years, the Lord can use you and your specific gifts in His harvest fields.
