Today is the Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost. In our prayers during our worship services, we are remembering our partner churches around the world. Today we remembered The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana. Here is the prayer we used.
Prayer for: Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana (ELCG), Dr.
Paul Kofi Fynn, President
Dear Jesus,
you have blessed the Missouri Synod with many sister denominations around the
globe who share our love for you, your truth, your people, and those who have
not yet come to know you as their Savior. Today we remember before your throne
the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Ghana, and their president, Rev. Dr. Paul Kofi Fynn. We especially
thank you that this denomination is the fruit of the work of Missouri Synod
workers that first reached Ghana in the 1950s and that this love of missions is
still present with these brothers and sisters in Christ as they have
opened mission stations in Uganda, Benin and Ivory Coast. We also rejoice that
they no longer have to depend on the seminary in Nigeria to train their
pastors, as you have blessed them with their own seminary which opened in 1998.
We ask that you continue to protect and bless them, and that
they might inspire us to reach out with your life-giving Gospel.
