About Us:
Covenant Messenger Ministries began in the fall of 1989. At that time the Berlin Wall in East Germany was coming down, one blow at at time, by the hands of people who were determined to be set free. For years the Wall presented a physical barrier to the freedom of millions of people. What was less obvious was an even greater spiritual barrier the Wall represented.
Back in Iowa, U.S.A., the Lord spoke to the heart of a printer named Val Black and said to print Gospel tracts for the Eastern Europe nations of Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary. The tracts were printed and in the fall of 1989, thousands were carried across the borders into Bulgaria. The tracts were like a fresh drink of water to a people who were thirsty for spiritual identity.
After Bulgaria, tracts for Romania and Hungary were printed and shipped. Again, thirsty souls were eager to learn about the Lord. Letters returned begging for tracts and Bibles. They were shipped as the Lord provided the funds. God worked many miracles and supernaturally opened doors for the ministry, permitting it to do far more than could be expected, in the natural, for a one-man print shop.
Then, in 1993, 50,000 tracts titled,
The ministry was soon averaging 50 letters per day, most were asking for more tracts and Bibles. It became apparent that it was necessary to open a distribution point in Accra, Ghana. A dedicated Christian Ghanian by the name of Joseph Boachie-Danquah now "heads-up" the operation in Accra. Pastors, evangelists and laymen come from all over Ghana as well as from Nigeria and Liberia to receive materials. God has blessed the ministry with many volunteers who are "on fire" for the Lord. They witness and minister in hospitals, prisons, schools and rural areas of Ghana. In a recent crusade many people were converted to Christianity and 24 fellowships were started.
Seemingly, this is only the beginning. Should the Lord tarry, our vision is to provide the Pastors, evangelists, and laymen with the materials needed to bring as many souls to the Lord as possible.
In 1999 a Bible School was begun in Accra, Ghana. The school utilizes materials from the International Curriculum, a video training tool featuring some of the world's finest Christian teachers who teach in english, followed by a translation in the Twi language, one that is understood by 80% to 90% of the population. The course entails about 150 hours of solid, no compromise, Bible-based teachings.
The curriculum is designed as a tool to turn local churches into training centers. It enables National Pastors to raise up church planting teams from their own congregations.
If you feel led to be a part of the work of Covenant Messenger Ministries there are several ways to do it.
One: As an intercessor. We need Prayer Warriours to pray for the many C.M.M. evangelists who very often risk their lives to take the Gospel into areas previously unreached.
Two: As a contributor, either financially or as a co-laborer.
Financially, as the Lord leads you. As a laborer, you might contact your local churches for used Bibles, audio / video tapes, Praise & Worship music, and other related materials.
Churches could make it a missions project gathering Bibles and shipping them to our office in Ghana. Please contact us for more information.
God bless you.
