50/50

These 3 men were here in Ghana for a short time from America. They are with the FBFA (Fundamental Baptist Fellowship Association). The young lady in the picture is a neighbor of the Butlers, it is her that the title of this blog refers to. During one of the youth nights at the Butlers, the question was asked to each youth "Are you a Christian?" To which she answered, I am 50% Christian and 50% Muslim. As a result she became know as 50/50. She had also expressed to us that she was searching for some truths and that their was some things about the Muslim religion that didn't seem right to her.

The following Sunday she came to church for the First time at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Kodzobi Village. She was asking many questions about the Bible and Christ so they asked her to come to the house so they could talk further with her. It was during this time that 50%/50% became 100%. Praise God, she is now a part of God's family. Pray for her as she has some very difficult things in her life that she has to work through. Pray that she will grow and continue to ask questions. Marnie has started a Bible study with her, Pray that Marnie will be able to answer her questions and help her work through the difficult situations in her life.
Praising God,
Gary Phillips
