For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:8 - 10 NKJV
As one of Ghana Christian Mission’s core mandate, planting churches and sending out missionaries to the hinterlands is always of topmost priority. We always want to obedient to the Holy Spirit to bring great transformation to the lives of many through the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Also, we learn from the scripture above that we are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works! Here’s a testimony of the good works God is doing through our church planters on the field among the Chakali.
During our door-to-door evangelism, we met a young man named Danna Danjima in his community of Chaggu. Danna had been suffering from a severe, untreated wound on his leg for ten years. The wound was so advanced that he bled daily, and one of his bones, the fibula, was rotten and exposed. Due to the severity of his condition, people avoided him, and he had endured this pain and isolation without any medical attention. When we approached him and shared the Gospel, we also prayed with him, encouraged him to trust that God would bring healing. We immediately contacted our Executive Director, who encouraged us to pray while he sought ways to support him. His hemoglobin level was dangerously low, less than 4.0, and he needed multiple blood transfusion.
As Danna’s treatment progressed, he stayed at the hospital for about 6 months and had to also visit a very other day for a year. GCM’s generous financial support, alongside contributions from others, allowed us to rent a room near the hospital where Danna and his mother could stay, ensuring he received daily wound care. Despite these numerous efforts, Danna's leg has to be amputated.
Throughout this journey, we remained by Danna’s side, offering prayer, teaching him the Word of God, and sharing messages of hope. His resilience and faith grew stronger as he experienced God’s love and care. On September 6, 2024, Danna publicly declared his faith through baptism, a powerful testimony of transformation. His story touched many hearts in his community, breaking down barriers and inspiring others to seek Christ. Even his mother, who had been a devoted Muslim, witnessed the love and support shown to her son and ultimately gave her life to Christ. She, too, was baptized, and their story continues to glorify God.
This testimony of Danna Danjima reflects God’s healing, love, and faithfulness. Through the dedication and commitment of you our cherished partners and Danna’s courage, we have witnessed how God can use one life to reach many. Today, Danna’s journey has opened doors for the Gospel to be shared more broadly within his community, bringing hope and transformation to others.
This is why we exist! This is why we do what we do as a mission organization! Testimonies like this motivate us and always give us the desire to keep pushing further. God bless all our partners and donors. You are the reason we’re able to do all we do.
Prayer Points
· Kindly pray for Danna and his family that God’s light will continue to shine brightly in their lives.
· Kindly pray for all the people of Chaggu who have heard Danna’s story and have opened their hearts to receive the love of God.
· Kindly pray for our church planters Matthew Nwedo and Abraham Yahaya who are working among the Chakali people in communities such as Bulenga and Chaggu (where Danna hails from).
· Kindly pray for Wisdom, Enoch and Lydia who are in the USA for mission events and also meet with partners and friends.
· Kindly pray for a couple coming in from USA in November. Pray that their trip to Ghana will be very fruitful.
