For the Kingdom of God in Ghana & Uganda

"I received two of your booklets entitled How to Know God and The Way to God from one of my friends; they led me to repentance. The Word of God is spoken in my area, but only a few people accept it due to the difficulties Christians have been going through. A lot of people still believe in Juju and other powers rather than the Word of God. Due to this I was always afraid to accept Christ as my Savior until recently, when I received this message from your booklets. The booklets really advise me how to know God and the steps one can pass through before coming into contact with God, which can only be done through Jesus Christ, His Son.”—D.M., Ghana

This powerful testimony reflects much of the challenge to the gospel in Ghana today. According to Operation World, over 64 percent of Ghanaians call themselves Christians, but only 12 percent are regular church attenders. Traditional views and practices are mixed with claims of being a Christian. The clear teaching of Scripture, guided by the Holy Spirit, will reveal truth to receptive hearts. As the Church in Ghana catches the vision of reaching their nation, it will need the firm foundation found in God’s Word.

World Missionary Press has been providing literature for the ongoing work of the gospel in Ghana for many years. Benjamin Boateng, WMP’s national coordinator, and other faithful distributors have used millions of booklets to help establish churches and individual believers, as well as offering countless souls the truth of how to know God. A 40-foot container of booklets and Bible study books in 14 languages is being prepared for shipment to Brother Boateng. This provision will last only a few months after it arrives, as distributors are already eagerly awaiting the new supply.

A 40-foot container to carry about two million Scripture booklets is also being prepared for WMP’s national coordinator in Uganda. This East African nation, once called “the Pearl of Africa,” has endured terrible suffering. During the 70’s and 80’s hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of cruel dictatorial rule. Through much tribulation Christians in Uganda have kept their faith and become strong. Reports now show that the Church in Uganda is thriving.

A pastor who learned of the availability of WMP literature in Uganda wrote, “We have been so much praying and searching for this great gospel evangelism tool (the Luganda, English, and other booklets) for a very long time. We deeply thank God for this divine networking to do His will and [distribute] His Word in Uganda.” —Pastor G.K.

Another Ugandan pastor wrote, “Thank you for the great work you’re doing for the expansion of God’s kingdom. Here in Uganda these [booklets] are doing a wonderful job in turning people’s lives towards the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, you are kindly requested to send us as much gospel materials as you can in order to enable us to go ahead with this work.” —Pastor S.K.

The two million booklets in this new shipment will not last long. After receiving his previous shipment, WMP’s national coordinator William Ssentumbwe reported, “All the booklets you sent to us are finished. They came when people were very hungry. We gave them to Sudan, Zaire, Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda—mainly to schools, churches, people who preach on the streets, and missions. [Multitudes] have accepted Jesus Christ. We can never thank you enough.”
