2024 Water Projects
This year we were able to complete ten clean water projects before the rainy season began in June. That’s a pretty good pace for us. Water projects have grown into a key part of our incarnational evangelism efforts in Ghana over the last 15 years, but drilling can only be reliably done during the dryContinue reading “2024 Water Projects”

Ghana continues to multiply
Ghana Coaches caught fire this year! Previously we had never had more than 250 people at Ghana Basic Trainings in a year. In 2023, we engaged over 400, and even had to push some invitations to 2024.

YLI at year 20
We’re getting older, but YLI is still a ministry of young leaders! When I arrived in Ghana in 2002, Jim Moye told me how much he wanted to introduce me to Vincent Asamoah. Jim was obviously very excited about this Vincent guy. He was the director for the Ghana Baptist Convention with a busy travelContinue reading “YLI at year 20 “
Discipleship growth in universities
God wastes nothing, not even a global pandemic! For the last two years, YLI West African director, Yakubu Zachariah (Zach) and his top Nigerian leaders, Abraham Shuaibu and Peter Iliya, have not been permitted to travel and gather for many training events due to COVID restrictions. Instead they’ve focused their discipleship efforts on students atContinue reading “Discipleship growth in universities“
Love through Food and Clean Water
We call it “Love Evangelism” and its key to discipleship! Our leaders stayed at home more this year, but led with their lives in very practical ways. In YLI we simply call this Love Evangelism and encompasses 30% of YLI’s Basic Training. In summary, we Christians might have great evangelistic fervor and the best technology,Continue reading “Love through Food and Clean Water“
