WOW!! What a couple! Tim and Mary McCall will be joining the Ghana Initiative mission team this summer for the second time as husband and wife. This will be the third time that Tim has served with us. It is exciting to see how well they work together and how much joy they spread to the patients who come to them at their Ghana Initiative pharmacy. Their knowledge and skills instills confidence in those they serve. Their positive attitudes and servant hearts bring smiles to the patients as they wait for their medications.
Tim and Mary have a way with the children. When sick children come to them at the pharmacy with a prescription, they make them feel comfortable with a kind smile and a gentle voice. When not serving at the pharmacy it isn't uncommon to see them walking around the clinic holding the hands of several children at the same time or carrying a sick child needing some comfort. They can also be seen spending time with their sponsor child, Charlotte, whom they have been sponsoring for 4 years.
Charlotte resides in one of the towns where Ghana Initiative serves. She is beautiful and shy. Each time Tim and Mary are in town, she makes a beeline for them. It is very special to see Charlotte and her family spend precious moments together with the McCall's. Forming relationships is part of what Ghana Initiative is all about. The relationships that develop between the townspeople and our team members enable love and trust to flourish.
Each time Tim and Mary serve at the pharmacy they have no shortage of volunteers from the local school and Compassion International center willing to serve by their side. The volunteers love to assist them with translation services, by counting and labeling medications and by keeping order among the patients waiting to be served.
The photos above provide proof of how beloved Tim and Mary are to the people of Ghana. They bring smiles to faces as they, spend time listening, sharing and even dancing with the children. Tim and Mary relate well with the people of Ghana. We hope they will continue to serve with Ghana Initiative for many years to come. We thank God for their willingness to serve. Thank you Tim and Mary for the blessings you are to many!!

Missionary Training Center
Building Project Update
Recently, Ghana Initiative Director, Seth Pobee and mission team member Harold Zeiset traveled to Ghana for 10 days to oversee a portion of the missionary training center construction project. While in Pokrom Nsabaa they joined the construction crew on site. They and the builders dug out and prepared to lay the final footers for the buildings. They planned, dug out and laid the pipes in preparation for the compound plumbing and poured concrete floors over more than one third of the building site. The next step is to construct walls and attach roofs to the areas that will become the Warehouse, Ghana Initiative Office and Dormitory Block #1.
In order to move this project forward and see the ministry of Ghana Initiative open its Missionary Training Center, we are in great need of financial support. We ask that you would pray and ask the Lord if He would have you sew into the ministry of Ghana Initiative financially. Please contact Troy Pfoutz at troy.pfoutz@ghanainitiative.com if you have any questions about investing in this ministry.
The photos below show some of the work that was completed at the site. They also depict the completed well that was drilled and made ready for the community to have fresh clean water. Several other photos show Harold repairing the roof of the Ghana Initiative Mobile Clinic. We thank God for His faithfulness, our supporters for their prayers and financial support and everyone involved in the missionary training center project in Ghana and in the USA.

mobile medical mission
To god be the glory!
Ghana Initiative Mobile Medical Mission is joyful, following another exciting, successful and miraculous mission experience in Ghana, from August 1-12, 2018. We thank God for guiding, protecting, healing and saving. Each member of our team is blessed with testimonials of how the Lord was working in them and through them. We saw souls saved, hearts changed, bodies healed and joy unspeakable as we were obedient to the Holy Spirit working through us.
The photos below, show the faces of just a few of the many individuals who experienced the awesome power of God's love shining into or through their hearts and lives. We are truly blessed to have served the beautiful and welcoming people of Ghana, West Africa. Most of our time was spent in the Eastern Region towns of Adamorobe, Adjena and Pokrom Nsabaa.
Thanks go out to all who support the ministry of Ghana Initiative Mobile Medical Mission through prayer, financial donations and material contributions. Your support makes it possible for Ghana Initiative MMM to touch the lives of thousands. Most importantly, we thank God and remember to say: "TO GOD BE THE GLORY!"

May the Holy Spirit serve as your bridge today! If you count on the Holy Spirit to guide you and walk with you each day, you should never find it necessary to stand at one end of a bridge in your life and ask, Is it safe; Is it Strong; or Will it hold me? The Holy Spirit has designed a path for your life that is PERFECT and STRONG! Follow your path and cross every Bridge with confidence! |
Cross with confidence |

Salvation belongs to a young man following his interaction with Bible School teacher Wendy Shonk. "Prince" accepts Jesus as his savior, and becomes the first of 38 salvations identified during the Ghana Initiative Mobile Medical Mission experience. Imagine the celebration in heaven as hearts were changed an souls were saved! |

Miracles do happen!! Young "Ama Dzigbor" came to the medical clinic in Pokrom in a state of unresponsiveness. She was very ill. Several team members laid hands on her and began to pray for God to heal her. Within minutes she opened her eyes, cried to be nursed by her mother and interacted with her parents and team members. A CAT scan and check up at the hospital, confirmed that she had been healed! Our God is a MIRACLE WORKING GOD!!

A mustard seed of Faith and a moment of Prayer can move a mountain. (Matthew 17:20) Faith and Prayer brought healing to Ghana Initiative team members, volunteers and patients alike. Our missionary team members put Faith into action by praying for those in need, as they served the lovely people of Ghana. For each life that was touched, God received the Glory!!

Children met their sponsors. Ghana Initiative team members allow the love of Christ to shine through them by sponsoring children in need in the towns where Ghana Initiative serves. On this mission experience Jerry Emmanuel of Pokrom Nsaaba met his sponsor, Judy Poglitsch and David, of Accra found a new sponsor in Ghana Initiative team member Val Weaver. Sponsorship opens the door for children to go to school, expand their knowledge and skills and develop into productive citizens of Ghana. |

Generous donations from supporters of the Ghana Initiative ministry enabled us to distribute more than 800 mosquito bed nets in three communities. The nets were given free of charge to those who demonstrated the need for the bed nets and to those who came to our clinic having already contracted malaria. We have already seen a reduction in the number of cases of malaria in the community where we gave out bed nets last year. Praise God for making this work possible.

PRAISE THE LORD!! On Sunday, the team attended church at Jesus Camp located in Dansoman, Accra. The service was lead by Pastor Charles Otchere-Baffour and his wife Lawrencia. This was a Holy Spirit lead experience filled with Joy and Bible based teaching. We were with our spiritual family and enjoyed every moment of it! We thank God for giving us the freedom to praise and worship Him with all that was within us!

"BOOTS, BOOTS & more BOOTS"
This summer, we gave away more than 400 pair of new and gently used soccer cleats, or Football Boots as they are called in Ghana. Ghana Initiative team members and many generous sponsors donated hundreds of pairs of Boots for the children and youth in rural communities in Ghana. The Boots were a blessing to so many. They are sure to be put to good use by the boys and girls who received them. We thank everyone who donated Boots! |
|
Joy was spread through bountiful hugs! Team members were challenged to spread the love of Christ through a hug and a smile. Both the hug giver and hug receiver were blessed by the joy that welled up inside. The children yearned for hugs and often didn't want to let go as they were hugged by Ghana Initiative team members. |

God made it possible for Ghanaian professionals to join the Ghana Initiative team in greater numbers than ever before. This year we welcomed Dr. Richard, Pharmacist Diamond, Nurse Sandra, Nurse Mavis, Biological Scientist Daniel, and a number of selfless volunteers. We look forward to what God has in store for 2019. |
JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY, JOY
