Dave, Emmanuel and I spent much of yesterday at the Mission Center, a building whose construction Mission Resource began in 2019 before being halted in 2020 by a court case - a dispute over who really owned the land before we bought it in 2010!
As a result, the Mission Center stands half completed - walls and roof are in place, but no doors, windows, wiring, plumbing or furniture yet. It is more than enough to provide a glimpse of this location's potential to be a meeting ground for Americans and Ghanaians and a hub for our loan work in the surrounding community.
The location is phenomenal. If it were in the States, our 12 acres of beachside property would be worth many millions of dollars.
(Mission Resource didn't pay anywhere near that!)
Over the last two days, Dave, Emmanuel, and I met with Moses and David, a couple of local pastors serving in the community surrounding our Center, a bustling, but struggling, fishing village known as Old Ningo.
Our impression was that these pastors are hardworking and Godfearing men whose congregations could benefit greatly from the sort of small loans that Mission Resource specializes in. Undoubtedly, the benefits will be mutual - God's Kingdom is always Win/Win!
We were pleased to discover that we had many mutual connections with these local pastors - among them, friends Dave has long known and trusted.
Looks like the Lord is building a network for expanding the Kingdom in Old Ningo.
It is exciting to imagine the possibilities.
Would you pray with me that the court case would soon be resolved conclusively in our favor so that the physical work can move forward?
It needs to catch up to the spiritual work the Lord is already doing behind the scenes!
