Greetings from your Move Africa Team. After a very fruitful 2023 we have found ourselves in a time of rest. Work has slowed down but continues both on the new chapel and in the mission field. The plastering brown coat inside and out has now been completed.

The security doors have been installed and we are looking to see the new entry doors installed.

The 2nd quarter Children’s support along with the field leaders support has been delivered. Senyo reports Bethar, (Beta) is doing very well. Here she is seen in a new dress and bags of rice she received as part of her quarterly support.

please continue to keep the children, the chapel construction, Senyo and his team in your prayers. Your Move Africa team asks that you keep us lifted up also as we seek the Lord’s will. To grant us wisdom in planning and decisions moving forward.
Each of us thank you for your continued support and prayers.

Stage two is underway as work continues with the roofing contractor finishing by closing up under eve overhangs.

Progress is also happening inside around the stage area with the construction of steps and the choir platform.

Today work started on the exterior walls where plaster is being applied.

As you can also see the window security bars have also been installed.
Our next fundraising goal is to be able to purchase the 4 exterior doors to enable Senyo to secure the building. Please continue to keep this project, the worker’s safety and the funding to complete the chapel in your prayers. If the Lord leads you to give to this project. You can go to the giving page and donate to Mission Ministries in the drop-down box.

Today we received word from Senyo that the roofing contractor is on site and has begun installing the roofing panels. We praise our Lord for raising up everyone who has donated and or prayed over the construction of this new, Fountain of Life Chapel International chapel building. As many are aware this started as a vision back in 2008. In December of 2017 they began with the hand digging of the footers.

In 2018 work began of laying the foundation and the start of pouring the floors and building walls.

By the end of 2018 work came to a complete stop as funding slowed down. In December of 2021 with the threat of losing the building permit and the property there began a drive to raise funds and meet different requirements set in place by the building inspectors office in Ho, Ghana Africa. As the Lord provided us with generous donors, work once again started and gained momentum. Between April of 2022 through today, the floors have been completely poured, walls have been put up, trusses set and the roofing is going on today.

We thank each and everyone who has contributed to and prayed over this project. We ask each of you to continue to lift this up to completion. There is still much to do to reach the finish line.

Earlier this summer work on the new Fountain of Life Chapel International in Ho, Ghana Africa slowed down after work of installing the roof trusses was completed. In September do to some generous donations we were able to make a wire for the purchase of the metal roofing materials. Work has begun again with the installation of the cross supports scene here.

It has been a slow process to get this portion of the roof completed do the the amount of rain here this September and October. Today we can report that the roofing panels have been manufactured and began arriving on the work site today. We’re believing that work will begin soon on the panels being laid down in place.

We ask that you join us in prayer as we seek protection over the workers as they work on this part of the project.

Praise the Lord. We have surpassed our initial goal in fundraising for phase 1 of the construction of the new Fountain of Life Chapel in Ho, Ghana Africa.

This morning shortly after 9am Arizona time we touched down at Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. The flights home were pretty much uneventful which is a blessing. We are all now safely back home and reunited with our families.
We want you to thank you for all the prayers that were lifted up. We truly felt them and were encouraged by them.
