... there is going to be a Ghana Rock 2012! We had our first meeting last night with the new team. I'm amazed how God has provided an incredibly hard working, Ghana-loving, Jesus focused team again.
After the first meeting of digging into what is next for Ghana Rock, I was reminded of something.
God doesn't want us to do easy. God wants us to do something hard, that way He gets all the credit.
Last year, at this time, we had nothing but an idea. We struggled to find the perfect venue, a name, artists, and a date. Last year, in November, we weren't better off. It wasn't until I received an email of encouragement. Among other things, the email had this verse; ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ Jeremiah 33:3. Northside Baptist, the church Ghana Rock was at last year, their address is 333 Jeremiah BLVD. Northside was the perfect venue for Ghana Rock. They were gracious enough to let nine teenagers with no experience come in, and basically rearrange their church because they believed in our idea. They were the perfect venue. From that, everything else came.
It wasn't easy and God got a lot of glory.
It wasn't easy and God got a lot of glory.
We are stretching higher this year, we are ready to do something hard. Every step of the way, we are going to ask God to show us great and unsearchable things. We are going to focus on bringing God glory.
I am excited to announce we will be working with City of Refuge Ministries this coming year. We've been given the opportunity to help them rescue kids. We're going to be funding the rescue of children that will be moved to a new safe house that can hold eighteen kids. What's even cooler? The City of Refuge's new safe house will be finished being built in May. When is Ghana Rock? May. When will they need funds to rescue the children? May. God's perfect timing.
This is the Safe House in progress. I can already see it filled with life.
Feeding The Orphans is sponsoring building the safe house.
Check them out, and maybe buy a t-shirt while you're there?
I can't wait to see the great and unsearchable things God is going to show us this year. It is going to be a life changing year!
Let's bring Him some glory,
Mads
As a new member of the team I am just as excited and ready to do something hard, all for God's glory. Last year I saw the many things God did through the Ghana Rock 2011 team and how He provided for those wonderful eight boys, and this year He has provided an organization who can hold EIGHTEEN. Now that is awesome. Already, as Madi says, "we are stretching higher." We are all ready to bring God the glory and see what He has in store for this year.
