Student Testimonies

In all, we give thanks to God for all He accomplished. It could be sunny, windy, rainy and cold all in one day; and we could minister to different people having different languages, all in one day. No matter what, it was just a blessing doing God’s work. All too soon, we had to come back home. The Lord has been so faithful to His Word in Jer. 1:5. This is a mission with a difference. Diamond Duke Ackon, Second Year Diploma Program

This trip has made me feel the touch of God. It has also made me desire to evangelize more one-on-one. People need Christ all over this world. In South Africa, there are great men of God preaching day and night on the television, yet some people we met said they had not heard anything about Christ or know Jesus. We were able to witness even to the Hindus, and Christ was able to reach them. It was awesome, and I want to keep on evangelizing with Jesus. Millicent Bruce, First Year, Diploma

On the morning of the 26th, we went evangelizing in the streets. We do this every week in Ghana, but here, it was different. Here, we were not of the same culture-it makes communication slower. I spoke with a sister and she gave her life to Jesus. She was sick also, and I prayed for her. She said that as I was sharing the gospel with her, the Lord was ministering healing to her. As we all evangelized that morning, many in this district named Phoenix gave their lives to Jesus. To think God brought us all the way here to speak to these people! Jonathan Donkor, Third Year, Bachelor’s Program.

On the last night of the crusade, Pastor Aaron preached using a coffin as an illustration. It was a Holy Ghost filled night. People were weeping for Christ. The natives (Zulus) and Indians all ran to receive Jesus that night. Then, they were all hugging, and weeping, and laughing at the same time! There was such a sense of unity. What a wonderful end to the crusade night. Millicent Bruce, First Year Diploma Program

The last night of the crusade, Pastor Aaron used a coffin for an illustration, and I was inside the coffin. People were weeping because they realized the state they were in and finally gave their lives to Christ. I had the opportunity to minister to some of those who came forward for prayer. It had been my prayer that God use my life to minister to them, and He answered my heart’s desire. Eric Buaka, Second Year Diploma Program

On the third day, in the afternoon, we went out to the residence to evangelize and also to invite people to come to the crusade, when we saw some people running and looking for Pastor Aaron to go and pray for their child. I was touched, not because their child is sick, but for them to recognize that it is only Jesus who can save their son and they were seriously looking for this savior Jesus Christ. More so, I was happy because they were Hindus and they realized that the only thing that could save their child is our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank God for His presence with us and the miracles that happened, glory be to God for He is always faithful. – Kuukua Amo Yartey, Secretary, ETHBC

Though in a way it was pathetic to see children who have lost their parents because of HIV, and there wasn’t any one taking care of them, it was good to see how God used the Good News Church to feed them 3 or 5 times in a week. We joined the feeding programme two days. As I was looking at the children coming in, my heart went out to them, and I wished I could do something to change their situation. I personally cannot, but as the Bible says our heart desire shall be granted unto us. I know God will come through for them through the little that He used us to do at Bottle Brush when the crusade was held.   Amy Newman, Christian Singer

Several mornings we did street evangelism. I had the a chance to witness to one Hindu lady whose husband was a Christian, who tried all the time to win her to the Lord but to no avail. It was not easy, but finally the Word of the Lord and the Holy Spirit prevailed over the power of the devil when she admitted she was on her way to hell but made a U-turn unto heaven with her daughter. Her husband was in tears as she lifted up her hands to accept the Lord. We thank God for a successful mission trip. – Stella Yawson, Bachelors Graduate (08) and Current ETHBC Faculty

I went with Pastor Stella with a Zulu pastor to a certain home which happened to be a Christian husband and a Hindu wife.  The man said he had spoken to the wife about Christ for more than ten years but she was not giving in.  In their room, the woman had 3 different kinds of images (idols) which she worships everyday.  We saw the images with our own eyes.  Such was the person which got saved, and the husband broke into tears because his long-time prayer had been finally answered.  I am full of joy because of God’s faithfulness towards us all in this mission outreach.  It has been a great experience to each one of us.  God’s hand has been in it from Ghana to South Africa.  I observed very carefully that each one of us came with a heart to give.  This mission has been very powerful, because it is not easy to prevail among Hindu and African traditional religion.  But the power of the Gospel was able to set people free from their sins, evil spirits, sickness, curses, and hurting people.   Pastor Isaiah Brew, Bachelors Graduate (05), ETHBC Administrative Assistant and Faculty.
