Ghana - Lutheran Deaf School & Missions

For the last five years, every six month, Rev. John Reinke or Rev. Bud Palmer and volunteers travels to Ghana, Africa to work with and teach the deaf leaders in the ELCG. In Jamasi, the children there barely knew any of the Bible stories and were hungry to hear them. Imagine 60-100 children just sitting there with complete focus because they want to hear the stories. Outside of the city, 30% of the people there are deaf and they are extremely poor. God is working in wondrous ways in Ghana. Pray that the Gospel continues to spread.
