Ministries New Life Church Supports

 

John AppiahGreetings from my family and Church family. We are all doing well and hope you are. We thank God for His divine blessings and mercy throughout the past year. The past year was very challenging. I lost my mom, elder brother, younger sister and brother-in-law. It all happened between October- December last year. We finished the burial and funerals late January this year. It physically drained me, but the grace of God is still sufficient to us all. How is your Church family? I trust all is going well. We have lost one of our beloved sisters in the local church in Kumasi. She died of cancer related illnesses. The burial and funeral will come on this weekend. Stay blessed in the Lord. In His Service. John Appiah. (posted 3/23/25)
