2024 HOHOE MISSIONS AND OUTREACH

The 2024 Hohoe Missions and Outreach is an exciting and impactful opportunity for all of us to come together in service and compassion, as we bring hope and healing to the people of Hohoe, Ghana. From July 13 to July 20, 2024, Christian Missions Resource Foundation (CMRF), in partnership with Tesano Baptist Church (TBC), E3 Partners, Lakepointe Church-USA, Biblical, Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF), and the Hohoe Local Council of Churches, will be leading a medical outreach aimed at providing essential health services to underserved communities.

This year, the outreach will span five key communities: Liati Teikrom, Fodome Amele, Paloma Hohoe, Avegah Hohoe, and Galikofe Hohoe. In these communities, we will bring not only medical care but also the love and compassion of Christ. We aim to provide life-changing services including:

• General medical consultations for common health issues.

• Dental services such as cleanings, fillings, extractions, and dental hygiene education.

• Eye care, offering free eye exams, glasses, and necessary surgeries.

• Counseling, focusing on emotional and spiritual healing, with the opportunity for individuals to accept Christ.

• Children's ministry, where we will share the message of hope, provide health supplies, and offer spiritual guidance.

This mission is an invitation to step out and be part of something bigger than ourselves. By offering our time, prayers, and donations, we can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it most. Whether you are able to join us as a volunteer on the ground, support the mission financially, or stand in prayer with us, your contribution will bring lasting change to these communities.

How You Can Help:

• Donations: Every gift, no matter the size, will help cover the costs of medical supplies, medications, transportation, and logistical needs to ensure the mission runs smoothly.

• Prayers: We believe in the power of prayer to guide and empower the team and the communities we serve. Your prayers for strength, wisdom, and open hearts will make a huge impact.

• Volunteers: If you have a heart for service, we welcome you to join us in Hohoe. Whether you have medical skills or a desire to help in other ways, your hands and heart will be needed.

As we prepare for this life-changing outreach, we are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 25:40: "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." This mission is an opportunity to serve Christ by serving those in need. Let’s come together as one community of believers to bring health, hope, and healing to the people of Hohoe.

We look forward to your prayers, support, and participation in this incredible journey of faith and service. Together, we can make 2024 a year of transformation for the Hohoe communities. May God bless you for your willingness to be a part of this mission.

Clean drinking water was made available by providing and commissioning seven wells. This was a significant relief for the residents who had been struggling to access clean water.

Additionally, the team offered essential materials and resources to those facing economic hardships, embodying the wisdom of Proverbs 19:17, which tells us that being kind to the poor is like lending to the Lord, and He will reward us for our kindness.

Moreover, the team shared the good news of God's love in the communities, spreading positivity and hope. As a result, about 3,551 people decided to follow Christ, and 305 others rededicated their lives to the Lord. Many others received prayers for healing and deliverance from their ailments.

The 2023 Kadjebi Missions and Outreach serves as a bright illustration of how Christians can unite and utilize their resources to reach out and make a difference in the world. It is our mission and responsibility to spread love and hope, and with God's guidance, we will persist in these efforts until the return of our Lord Jesus.

MISSIONS KPANDO 2022 CAMPAIGN was successful.

The 2022 missions campaign to Kpando and its environs was a very successful one. The campaign, which took place from the 16th to the 23rd of July 2022, brought together a number of collaborators whose aim was to serve the people of Kpando holistically. These collaborators, Christian Missions Resource Foundation (CMRF), Tesano Baptist Church (TBN), E3 Partners, Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), Biblica, Lakepointe Church, Kids Around the World (KATW) and the Kpando Local Council of Churches, ministered holistically to the people in Aziave, Anfoega-Dzana, Tafi-Atome, Adofe, Abanu and Konda through the provision of free medical services, commissioning of bore holes (wells), and the ministration of the Word of God (evangelism).

Nine (9) boreholes (wells) were dedicated to provide portable water to the people in some of  these communities. Free medical exercises were conducted to provide medical aid to those with health issues. These were accompanied by the provision of free Bibles and Christian materials, evangelistic film shows, house to house evangelism, and ministry to the children. 

About 5221 adults and 2382 children were exposed to the Gospel. 3448 people decided to follow the Lord, 2319 being adults and 1129, children. 

Dr. Francis Osei of E3 Partners, at the closing ceremony, which took place at the Evangelical Presbyterian (EP) Church-Kpando, expressed his appreciation to all partners for availing themselves for the mission. He described the mission as very successful. 

Rev. Kweku Hazel, from Tesano Baptist Church (TBC), who preached at the closing ceremony, encouraged the Pastors and Ministers into whose care and congregations  the people who made the decision to follow Christ has been entrusted,  to be mindful of the flock ( the people who made decisions to follow the Lord). He instructed the Pastors and Ministers to ensure that they preach the good news of Christ Jesus and not fanciful messages. 

Dr. Victor Kobby Etwire, President of the Christian Missions Resource Foundation (CMRF) spoke about the CMRF Model and the need to keep on approaching missions holistically. He stressed on the fact that these are challenging times and missions agencies must show concern by ministering to the total human person. "Our ministry must be holistic; serving the spirit, soul and body of the people." He also introduced the book, Reaching the Unreached: The CMRF Model, whose main aim is showing how to minister  the gospel holistically to people. 

Missions Kpando 2022 was thus successful. The people were blessed spiritually, medically and materially. Our highest gratitude goes to the Lord who made this possible in Christ Jesus. We are also thankful to you, our cherished partner who supported through donations and prayers. Finally, we bless the Lord for the lives of the team of 50 volunteers, comprising Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists, Counsellors, Pastors, Interpreters, and everyone who was physically present to serve on the mission. 

 It is our heartfelt prayer that Christ will continue to grow in us all. May those who made decisions to follow the Lord be empowered to grow in the Lord. God bless us all.
