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: Bible Clubs

    Larae Hoff Prayer Letter: Bible Clubs“Sometimes God answers yes when I pray (repeat). Sometimes God answers no, just because He loves me so. But I know, He always answers when I pray.” I taught this song at the SMITE Bible Club. I am thankful that God always hears us when we pray.

    Well, the ladies and I have been continuing to do a Saturday Bible Club. We did our second Bible Club at my street corner, using our house’s side porch. One of the ladies, Fiona, who taught the Bible verse at our Saturday Bible Club, needed to do her requirement for SMITE, which is to lead her own five-day Bible Club. She chose to use the same location, but it would be the Monday through Friday of our first week of school vacation. On Monday, Fiona had told the children that if they came early the next day, she would give them a special treat. Well, Tuesday morning, I planned to come early and help with reminding children to come, when to my surprise, 13 children were already there waiting for us. They continued to come early each day, and one mom said that the children had been waiting for 45 minutes. Each morning, I would ask some of the early comers to walk with me and invite more children to come. I would say a few words that I have learned in Twi, and the children would say the rest.

    SMITE was April 28 – May 2. It was so exciting to watch. I got to participate in the Level 1 class and observe how we teach young people to share the Gospel with children using the picture booklet. After the class time, some club leaders do a “club demonstration,” where they show the attendees how to lead a club, using the same missionary and Bible story for that day. I was blessed to participate in a club that had two ladies in Level 1, two ladies in Level 2, and one lady in Level 4. I had a joyous occasion on Thursday that week, because the club leader asked me to share the Gospel with the children who raised their hands during the invitation. This never happens to me, because I’m usually teaching the missionary story while another worker is doing this. Praise the Lord that 26 Bible Clubs were conducted, and 813 children made a profession of faith during SMITE. Pray with me that these children would grow in Christ. The weekend after, I went with a lady to her Bible Club area, across the street from church at someone’s dooryard, to make follow-up visits with the parents. We shared the Gospel with a mom and Theresa, the old woman who owned the house of the Bible Club location. They both trusted Christ to be their Saviour. The following Sunday, Theresa came to the Sunday morning service!

    Would you join me in praying for some wisdom and guidance? When I was on deputation, I told you that I would like to work with the village churches (daughter churches). I am praying for that to start in June. Pray that the preparation and details will go smoothly. Would you also join me in praying for the storage container that is coming with my totes and the donated toys for our church/school nursery? There has been some delay with the security/documentation, and we are praying that it can get resolved. Thank you for your faithfulness in prayers and support.

    PRAISE the LORD

    *813 Children Got Saved!
    *Ladies Got Saved!

    PLEASE PRAY

    *Children to Grow in Christ
    *Storage Container
    *Village/Daughter Church Ministry

    In Christ,

    Larae Hoff
