THE HIATUS IS OVER

self
IT IS ALMOST TWO MONTHS NOW SINCE YOU LAST HEARD FROM ME. MANY HAVE SENT VARIOUS MESSAGES TO ENQUIRE ABOUT ME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

BY HIS GRACE WE ARE ALL FINE HERE IN HAMBURG.

THIS HIATUS (BREAK IN MY REGULAR REPORTING), CAME ABOUT AS A RESULT OF A MULTITUDINOUS BUNCH OF ACTIVITIES:


1. I was working on a new book for our church and had targeted to finish it and get it out of press by the last week of April, 2013. The book, entitled TELL THE NEXT GENERATION VOLUME 3, is a compilation of topics treated on the annual themes of The Church of Pentecost. These topics were treated by various Apostles/Prophets at the annual fasting and prayer meetings of Executive Council members, Area Heads, Directors of the various Ministries of the church and others invited by the leaders. The topics cover the annual themes spanning year 2008-2012. Volumes 1 and 2 cover topics treated in 1998-2002 and 2003-2007 respectively. By the kind permission of the Chairman we reprinted the two Volumes in Germany for distribution in Europe.



I am glad to say that those 10,000 copies of the book printed here in Germany are on the way to Ghana. A further 3,000 initial copies have been ordered for distribution in Europe.

2. On 27th April. 2013, my dear wife Martha and I, along with our two youngest children Mike and Joanna, travelled to Ghana for almost four weeks. This was our first time in almost five years. (Details later).

I attended the 40th Session of the General Council of The Church of Pentecost. A week later, our firstborn, Emmanuel got wedded. (Details later)

Combining the series of meetings entailed in the General Council Meetings of a huge church like ours, now operating in 84 countries, with organizing a son's wedding and receiving a jubilant stream of church members, family and friends who delightfully came by just to offer a hug, hand-shake, a prayer or a word of encouragement, virtually left me with little time for writing.

With pain therefore, I decided to absorb the joy of that momentous visit and all those events so that I could give you detailed news ("AMANE-BO_") later. Trusting in the grace of God, I promise you a steady flow news from us.

Thank you for your massive prayer support. May God continue to bless and prosper all your endeavors.

  3. Hi Mike,

    Your blog was certainly missed. I started checking at the beginning of this week and was concerned when I saw no up to date news. I fully understand the challenges you faced in fulfilling all your duties as a Minister of COP and as a father.
    I wait patiently for detailed news to follow when your schedule permits.
    It goes without saying that we were delighted to catch up with you in Ghana and look forward to the next time we can meet face to face.

  6. We are in touch with your Apostles for the best options of getting you copies of the books over there. I trust that it will not be long before you lay hands on your own copies.

    Praying to see me soon in New York? Sometimes God answers our prayers quicker than lightening speed, leaving us mesmerized. I am sure HE will answer your prayer sooner than your wildest imagination

  10. DEAR APOSTLE NTUMY,

    I WAS VERY EXCITED WHEN I HEARD YOU HAD COMKE TO GHANA, I GOT THE INFORMATION FROM A DOCTOR FRIEND OF MINE, DR. DERRICK ASANTE OF THE PENTECOST HOSPITAL WHO TOLD ME HE CAME TO SEE YOU ON SOME MEDICAL ROUTINES.

    I WAS SO ELATED AND THRILLED WHEN HE TOLD ME HE SPOKE TO YOU ABOUT ME AND HOW I WAS ALWAYS TALKNIG ABOUT YOU ON FACEBOOK AND ASKING ALL TO PRAY WITH YOU. HE TELLS ME YOU WERE SO EXCITED AT THE NEWS.

    CANDIDLY, YOU ARE ONE OF MY GREAT MENTORS IN THIS KINGDOM WORK AND YOU INSPIRE ME A LOT.

    YOUR BOOKS 'COMING WITH FIRE' AND 'FLAMINGO, THE CAMP OF NO RETURN' HAS BEEN MY BEST SELLERS.

    I ALWAYS RECALL THE DAY YOU PRAYED FOR ME AT THE VVIP SECTION OF THE KOTOKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, I WAS WORKING THERE AS A PROTOCOL ASSISTANT AND WHEN I ASKED THAT YOU PRAY FOR ME, YOU DID SO WITHOUT HESISTATION, I REMEMBER THE WORDS YOU SAID VIVIDLY.

    I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN AND I KNOW THE TIME WILL COME.

    BY GOD'S GRACE, I AM PASTORING A CHURCH NOW, WE JUST STARTED AND I BELIEVE GOD WILL TAKE US FAR.

    GOD BLESS YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE KINGDOM WORK AND I TRUST YOUR BEST IS YET TO COME.

    MY SYMPATHIES ON THE LOSS OF APOSTLE ANTWI, I WAS SO DOWN WHEN I HEARD THE NEWS, AS A YOUNG BOY IN SUNYANI AT THE TIME, I USED TO ENJOY HIS SERMONS.

    GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU FROM HARM. KIND REGARDS.

    God bless you.
