Akaporiso Church - Farm and Apartment Project
In 2003 the Lord blessed TR to purchase a small plot of land and build a church three years after conducting an evangelistic series in Akaporiso, Ghana. After many years of kneeling on rough concrete we are happy to report that the sanctuary has been tiled and completed.
TR was blessed to purchased four plots of land not far from the church for the members to farm and grow food in an effort to help feed their families and for the women to have something to sell in the market if they so choose. Due to theft and property encroachment we will need to build a wall around the property borders. There is also the need for an apartment to be built on the farm property to house another Bible worker and caretaker so someone is on the land at all times. Because of the long dry season they experience we need to dig a well for them to water their crops and for the workers living on the property. We will also install a septic system. If you would like to help us with this worthy project please click the donation link below and please note which project you are donating to. Estimated cost for the two apartments, wall around the property, well and septic, $30,000.

update
The septic tanks and the well have been completed. The farm has been cleared of the weeds, and Ama, single handedly has prepared 66 beds for growing crops. Philip, the farm manager, along with Ama have added even more beds to accompany the crops they want to plant. The farm is growing! Philip stressed the need of a well so Ama does not have to continue walking a long distance to haul water on her head. The well is approximately 27 feet deep and was dug by hand! The foundation on the two story apartment has been poured. Once our permit is completed we will begin putting up the walls. See updated pictures below. (We have had major setbacks obtaining the permit to build. Things in Ghana move slowly, but by God's grace, our Bible worker has persevered and jumped through the necessary hoops to get the permit approved and paid for. So what are we waiting for now? Them to give him the actual permit in hand. What is the delay? They say they have to have a meeting to distribute everyone's permit at once. Hmmmm...what ever happened to...you pay the money...you get the permit and receipt???? AFRICA!!!!
