-- [ From: Virginia Christiansen * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] -- Because I see many of you expressing your faith or sending your prayers, I dare to post this request. I expect that many of those suffering with PD and their caregivers rely heavily on their faith to see them through. However, if you are not comfortable with prayer, please delete and/or go on to the next message. My request is to ask you to pray on Sunday, June 2 for Gladys Nyako and the dedication/naming of the church for which she is pastor in Ghana. To quote Gladys, You will be called by a new name, a name given by the Lord himself. Isaiah 62:2b. The congregation is made up of Gas, Adangmes, Akans and a few Ewes, different tribal backgrounds. They believe that naming their church Trinity Presbyterian Church, Dansoman Estates, rather than Dansoman Estates church, will focus on their calling and to the unity with God. It is very important to them and they have used their limited resources to make this a meaningful effort. And they have so little material resources!. Gladys, who is the first native Ghana woman to be ordained (something she did not seek but the women of Ghana sought upon seeing many men being ordained), has requested our prayers and I thank those of you who will add yours. Anyone who would like to know more about her ministry or history, E-mail me directly and I will share with you. Again, thank you. The diversity of the worldwide internet will combine with the diversity within Ghana to be one in the spirit. Virginia Christiansen White Plains, NY [log in to unmask]
