Rescue Aid Foundation Ghana - Sept 2010 Mission Report

We were a bit late to the airport to pick them though, but we made it there about 10minutes later than the scheduled time. They did waited for long because their flight arrived far earlier than scheduled time. It was joyous when we met them finally and we quickly loaded their bags into the car and drove straight to their hotel room in Tema, a city in the capital.

World Water Day

Yesterday was world water day and all well wishers across the globe did their best with several occasions to grace the day. I will want to tackle it from my country (Ghana) for now but I will be referring to all countries at the later part of this message.

To All Visioneers

From experience, I know that there have been several times that you have left every empty, restless, tired and felt as if there was no one around you to help you carry on with your vision. You have been obedient in responding to your call in one way or the other but yet things aren’t going on the way it should go. You have used all strategies and sometime you have gone back to the ‘vision giver’ over and over but things aren’t moving. I want to let you know that such times will come to hit at you so strongly but stand firm.

FULL OF EXCUSES (a must read for all Christians)

Unless you are on the ground, you won’t know. I just watched a tv station interviewing a little girl of 5years old and these were her words; I want to go to school. I want to stop sleeping at the bus stops at night. I want to be in a home. I want to have food to eat and I need clothes. This has touched my heart so deeply that tears gathered on my eyes. If we can only put our excuses aside, we can help! If we can put our selfish attitude aside and think about our fellow humans, we can help.

Child Prostitution: has the social mileu contributed in any way towards its spread?

The issue of child prostitution has reached an alarming proportion in recent times. More often than not, the practice involves anyone having a carnal knowledge of a female below the age of 18 years with or without her consent.

Reports in the media are awash with stories on child prostitution which indicate an upsurge in this unfortunate phenomenon. But what is even more striking is the involvement of children, some below the age of 12.

BACK COMPASSION WITH ACTION

The Bible lets us know that God is passionate and full of mercy. In Psalm 78:38, the scripture didn't just say that God has compassion, but that He is full of it. That shows us the kind of God He is; His compassion is inexhaustible.

Compassion is the quality of recognizing or pitying the suffering of another with the desire to alleviate the suffering. It's a compelling motivation to take away the pains of another. God demonstrated when, out of love, He gave His son, Jesus to die for the sins of the world.
