Along with his blessings and greetings, Rev. Dr. Nii Amoo Darku, Ghana's team leader, sends tidings of exciting times of ministry in Accra, the capital city, and Winneba, a major educational and fishing center on the coast of Ghana.

by Rev. Dr. Nii Amoo Darku

March 6th 2006, Ghana will be 49 years since independence. According to a section of the Christian fraternity, the period between then to March 6th 2007 is, according to the Bible, the period for celebration (Lev. 25:8-9). The fiftieth year is then celebrated as a Jubilee. The period between the forth-ninth and fifty is meant for proclamation all through the land for the atonement of people's debt.

As I write folks are going through a period of forty days of fasting that will end midnight of March 5th 2006. During the last week of the fast, we have scheduled a week long period of proclamation all through the twin city."
