The Church Roof is Complete
The church roof in Gmanejere is complete! This is a big answer to prayer and we give thanks to God for all He has done for us.
Check out the video below to see what the church building looks like now:
God-willing, the church will complete the plastering and install the windows and doors with the remaining ~5% of the funds, along with other contributions. Since the completion of the church roof, the community has already come together to raise a pavilion for the school children as their numbers steadily increase. The students of the mission school have been using the church buildings as their classrooms since it’s opening in January 2025. Thank you for your generosity in both financial and prayer support for the church and ministry in Gmanejere.
On a personal note, our family has much to be grateful for. We have been preparing for our relocation to Enoch’s hometown of Kpandai in a couple of weeks. We have big dreams for our future in Kpandai, both in our family life and ministry, and we ask you to pray with us as we commit these dreams before God. Of course, there is a bitter-sweet feeling of leaving Nyankpala…what I have considered “home” for the last five years. It has been a season of both great joys and challenges with many lessons along the way.
A recent reflection God taught me was how much of our lives we take for granted. We rely on our means of transportation, provide food for our families and just expect that every day life will go on as it “usually” does. We often fail to recognize God’s mercy behind the scenes. It is very common for Christians in Ghana to wish each other God’s blessings over all life circumstances (ex: “traveling mercies”). Pastor Caleb in Gmanejere wished us God’s protection each day our family traveled from the village to the nearby town where we were staying. This may seem funny to some of us to do so, since we often assume that these menial things in life are guaranteed, such as walking to school safely, having enough to eat, enjoying a peaceful night of sleep etc. Needless to say, we saw the hand of God over our lives in many ways!
May we never forget to recognize God’s work in our lives and give Him thanks for His steadfast faithfulness all our days.
Thank you for journeying with us!
God bless,
Janice, Enoch & Lucy Jabab
