Ghana Connection

In 2005 Bob Biederman and I visited Ghana @ the invitation of the Bible Society. We spent two wks. working with a 7 person team creating a Bible Content Primer (basic reader) in the Dangme language. While in Ghana I had the privilege of bringing greetings from my Presbtery to the Presbyterian Church of Ghana.

This summer the greetings came full circle from Ghana back to Oklahoma. My brother and good friend Rev. Samuel Lawertha, who was part of the primer construction team three years ago was now in Oklahoma. His primary purpose for being in Tulsa was to attend a six week, LEI, International Literacy Training Institute on our Tulsa campus. A Presbytery meeting provided a time for Samuel to share the incredible work being done through literacy mission to a people group of a million Dangme speakers, (70% illiterate) in South Eastern Ghana.

May God continue to bless the partnership between Literacy & Evangelism International, the Bible Society of Ghana and now the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and the Dangme Presbytery!
