Letter Highlights...
"Thank you for your prayer and supports. I also thank you for your words of encouragement."
"The cape coast cluster organized a teens camp for all the children in the cluster. And my project also took part in this camp."
"My name was giving to by my parents and according to them, they said the meaning of the name impressed them a lot 'one who hold Christ.'"
"Am so pleased with your research and believe its the handiwork of the Lord which is very special and marvelous, thank very much."
"Thank you especially of the photos of the newly born baby... It is my prayer that, the newly born baby brings more favor to the entire family."
"I am so excited to tell you that I have been promoted to the final class of basic education, because I did very well in my promotion exams."
"My sister has delivered and had given birth to a beautiful baby girl and am glad to inform you."
"When someone take my Bible away from me, I will buy new one and pray to God that the Bible should change the life of the person if he/she is not a committed Christian to bring better Christian life to the person.
A true Christian believes that we worship God through the heart and in spirit, so if such enforcement comes my way I will meditate upon the Lord and sing out when I am in a quiet place or found myself been alone."
