SERVING WITH TEAM GHANA

ABOUT

Birthday 6/30

I was born and raised in a Christian home. At age seven during Vacation Bible School, I asked Christ into my heart. When I turned thirteen, something happened to me which I blamed God for and started a path of rebellion. A few days later, I heard a message on a radio program saying that if you are not a Christian then you will go to Hell. That night I prayed “fire insurance prayers,” asking Christ to forgive me. However, I didn’t change physically or spiritually. I prayed those “fire insurance prayers” every night until my junior year of high school. At age sixteen, during a winter youth event, my pastor’s wife helped me get assurance of my salvation. I did a 180-degree turn and have never doubted since.

When I finished high school, I planned to work in the medical field. But when my pastor’s wife asked me to teach the 2-3 year old Sunday School class, it showed us both that I had a gift working with children. Through the years, I have been able to help with teaching Bible Clubs, counseling at Christian Camps, and working in various Church ministries.

When missionaries came to my church, I always enjoyed hearing their stories. Going on my first overseas mission trip in college made missions real to me, and it opened my heart with a desire to serve God full time overseas. Through the years God has opened and closed doors, allowing me many learning experiences in my Christian life. But the verses in Jeremiah 29:11 and Proverbs 16:9 have taught me that God’s plan and timing are perfect!

God has blessed me with the opportunity to serve with FBMI (Fundamental Baptist Missions International) in Kumasi, Ghana, West Africa and to help their team. My goal is to work with the village Churches and to help them start a children’s ministry. I am excited to see what God will do in and through me as I move forward to serve Him!

I would appreciate the opportunity to share with your congregation my goals, both short range and long range. I obviously am in need of financial support but even more than that I need to develop a prayer team that will support me on a regular basis. “Without Him, I can do nothing.” I need your prayers. Thank you for your time and consideration of my ministry.

Larae Hoff Prayer Letter: A Busy Winter

Larae Hoff Prayer Letter: A Busy WinterPraise the Lord for His handiwork in the beauties of spring! In my last letter, I asked you to pray for my vehicle’s maintenance. Praise the Lord, He answered your prayers. In February, I heard a noise from the exhaust area. When I took it to the mechanic, he saw that my exhaust pipe was detached. He was able to repair it and do the other maintenance my car needed. Praise God that the cost to fix it was cheaper than I expected it to be, and I was able to get the repairs done.

This winter in Maine has been a busy one for me. I had the opportunity to share my testimony at prayer meeting in Clinton and Ellsworth and the Sunday night service in Farmingdale. I have enjoyed meeting many Maine pastors and praying with their wives or church ladies at prayer meetings. It’s been great to have my friend, cousin, and dad go with me to visit different churches in my home state.

On Fridays, I’ve had the opportunity to help with the Corinth Bible Club. One day during the Bible lesson, when we talked about Joseph and how God forgives our sins, a girl started crying and getting very emotional; she said that she was very concerned for her unsaved family. I pray that we as born-again believers keep having a burden for the lost, just as this young lady’s heart was so burdened for her unsaved family members.

As American teachers are getting ready to end the school year, so are the teachers at our school, Fundamental Baptist Academy in Kumasi. Will you pray that they have wisdom in the preparations? As I write this letter, this week in Ghana, my team members are doing SMITE (Bible Club conference). Will you pray for the children who will be attending these clubs for the first time as they hear the Gospel?

In May, I will be going to my missions board/FBMI office and making preparations to get ready for Ghana, since my target support level is rising. Will you join me in praying that God will give guidance and wisdom with all of these preparations? Thank you so much for your faithful prayers and support.

Praise the Lord!
