Last time Dr Sos visited the Philippines, he was introduced to Pastor Emilio Henares. Pastor Henares inivited Dr Sos to come to River of Life Church in Bacolod, Negros Island. This church has a magnificent influence on their community, equipping the saints for the ministry is the focus of their church ministry. Dr Sos ministered in both of the Sunday services. The response to the messages was great. We thank the Lord  for this new opportunity and future working relationship with Rev. Henares.

Dr. Sos  and Barbara returned to Kabankalan, to continue equipping the pastors of this region for more effective ministry. The Lord has been blessing the pastors with much needed support and help for the churches. In the past few months we were able to put  a much needed roof on one of the church buildings, purchase cows for the village pastors, continue renovations at the Bible School, and this time purchase more land for a sugarcane  plantation. Pastor Sammy Pacleb organized a seminar for the pastors and leaders of the area. The topic was “Multiplication”

Barbara was busy shopping for food, blankets for the students,children’s clothes  and some household items for the pastor’s wives. May the Lord continue to bless our efforts in the Philippines.

Each year as Dr. Sos and Barbara travel to Asia, they see Gods work in progress. In Palembang, Sumatra, we are seeing progress in many area of ministry.The church is forging ahead with ministry design to reach their community as well as training and equipping leadership for the task ahead. On the weekend Dr. Sos was ministering in the GPDI church in Palembang where Pastor J. K. Siwi, is the senior pastor. They have two Sunday morning services in different locations. Monday and Tuesday Dr. Sos taught a seminar on “Church Membership“. In the morning Dr. Sos taught at the Bible School. The students were very excited to learn and to receive any instruction for enriching their ministry. The subject was “Weapons Mighty in God.”  It was a great joy to work with them.

The weekend ministry completed Dr. Sos’s itinerary in Africa. Liberty Center Assembly of God, pastored by Rev. Sam Ato Bentil, is a well run and organized congregation, with many outreach ministries serving their community and mission around the country. Two Sunday services are filled with excellent worship and preaching ministry. Dr. Sos ministered in both of these services. Great response by the congregation was the confirmation that these believers came to experience God.

Last year, Dr. Sos and Barbara were invited to a meeting with the General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God, Ghana, Rev. Dr. Paul Frimpong Manso.

During their conversation certain needs were brought up. After visiting their publishing house, Dr. Sos has seen the need for more printing presses and other equipment to help them to put out greater number of books and Christian materials. It was a great joy for Dr. Sos to see the equipment safely delivered and installed in the printing shop.

We would like to express our thanks to Mr. Peter Ng, who has donated presses, perforating machine, folder, camera, plate making machine, colour separation machine and photo copier.

From Elmina, Dr Sos traveled to see the village where the container goods have been sent at the end of last year.  Rev. Robert Arhin, senior pastor of Hope Assembly of God church in Mamprobi has planted a church in this village and started this school. When Barbara and I visited it for the first time, Barbara’s heart connected with these children. She was the major force behind the shipment of clothing, shoes, school supplies, rice, school equipment and other such items that she was able to send for children.

When Dr. Sos arrived to see the distributed goods, the children were looking for mom Barbara.We thank all Canadian families who gave the donations. New class rooms are being constructed, and the library expanded.

Revival meetings are being held in conjunction with Prayer Rallies in all of the Districts of Ghana. Dr. Sos was speaking at one of those meetings. Rev. Noah Aduntweh, pastor of Maranatha  Assembly of God Church, Cape Coast, expected great things of the Lord this evening. The Lord moved in a special way. The presence of the Holy Spirit  revived, touched and changed many. PTL for the work of His Spirit.

Southern Ghana Bible College has been around for many years. Students from many parts of the country have studied at this institution, being prepared for the ministry in the Kingdom of God. Several years ago, Dr. Sos lectured  in a special session of the student body. Efforts were made to help the College to elevate their program to accredited status. This time Dr. Sos was back for further talks with the Principal Dr. Frederic Kyereko, who’s interest is to bring best possible programs to Ghana. Dr. Sos believes that this College has a great potential to become significant educational institution in the future.

Pastors and leaders from Central Ghana District, joined Dr. Sos for a seminar on “A Royal Priesthood.” The district led by Rev. Emmanuel Wiredu Nkrumah  is expanding ministries all across the central region. The effort of the leadership is to prepare workers who will be planting new churches and expanding the ministry to the needy. The seminar’s topic was very timely, according to the leadership. Plans were discussed for possible ministry next year.

Another great opportunity and ministry for Dr. Sos, in Kumasi, Central Ghana. Rev Dr. Paul Frimpong Manso, General Superintendent of the Assemblies of God ,Ghana invited Dr. Sos for a special meeting with the Executive Committee. It was the first time that Dr. Sos met all the committee  members, sharing on “Vision, Key to Achievement.” Dr. Sos was also at the Bible College, where the future Christian University will commence. It was very productive meeting setting out future agenda for extended involvement in Ghana.
