As you prepare for this morning’s service to begin, you are invited to
reflect on the following…
“If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teaching of Jesus Christ.”
Rev. Benjamin Cremer
“It’s deeply uncomfortable to reflect upon the love that God has for our very worst enemies. However strong our hate – God’s love for them is stronger.”
~ Stephen Mattson, author

Mission Moment
Georgina Musah became physically impaired due to polio at age five. She was stigmatized due to her disability and prevented from attending school in her community of Suamvuus in northern Ghana. Identified in a community survey by the PWS&D-supported Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Program, Georgina received physiotherapy and a tricycle for mobility. Georgina also took part in training in climate-resilient farming and dressmaking, enabling her to generate an income and improve her life. “My profound gratitude to the CBR and PWS&D for changing my life through well-structured interventions. I have enough from my livelihood activities to fend for myself and my children and to support my husband. God bless and sustain your work,” she shares.
