Solomon and Letitia Aryeetey - Africa
December 2004
Dear Friends and Partners of Pioneers-Africa,
Letitia and I are often asked: Why are you soooo confident about
this mission's thing? Why do you feel soooo passionately
that the Muslim World can and indeed will be powerfully penetrated with
the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? What makes you soooo
sure that this revolution will happen in our day and in our generation?
Our answer is rather simple: We are soooo confident and soooo
bold concerning this issue, because that is exactly what God Himself has
said, period!!!
Matthew 24:14..AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE
WORLD FOR A WITNESS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME!!!
For us, when God says a thing, it is very much unlike when we speak.
We only wish that stuff happens like we want them to. When God
Himself speaks, it is as good as done. What God says becomes the
agenda!!! AND THIS GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM WILL BE PREACHED IN ALL THE
WORLD FOR A WITNESS, AND THEN THE END WILL COME!!!
Please note who it is who is speaking. The Lord Jesus Himself!!!
And for Him, there is absolutely no difference between this incredibly
powerful statement and an earlier one that He spoke several thousand years
ago, namely: LET THERE BE LIGHT! Same thing!!! And same
effect!!! And as clearly and as surely as the Scriptures
record...AND THERE WAS LIGHT, so sure can we be on God's FIAT in Matthew
24:14!!! We can literally deposit it in the Bank and cash on it
big-time!!!
So, now our secret is out! We whole-heartedly trust in God's power
to make stuff happen because…HE SAID SO!!!
Christmas, the season to be joyful, is here again. We remember the
miracle of the WORD BECOME FLESH. Thank God, by sheer grace, our
eyes have been opened to behold HIS GLORY. And we have been soooo
changed by this vision of the glory of God that we too, together with the
entire Body of Christ, are resolved to work, worship and witness, until
the last man has heard about Jesus.
And so, in confidence and in full assurance of the awesome power of the
Word of God, and… IN JESUS NAME...WE PRESS ON!!!!!
Shalom
Solomon and Letitia Aryeetey

Some News Headlines Aimed at Getting You to…
Pray for us and Praise God with us!!!
* Solomon and Letitia and their entire family of six kids are
doing well. Our health has been excellent. Little Tish, our
only daughter, continues to struggle through the foggy, medicated world of
Bipolar Illness. But even here, we have reason to be thankful to the
Lord! She is a Sophomore in College and still will not give up her
desire to become a Medical doctor and a missionary! Peace-Love, our
second son will graduate from the College of Wooster this coming spring!!!
We were unable to pay James and John's way so they could begin College
this year because having five in College at our expense would kill us!!!.
Hopefully they will start next year.
* We had a successful consultation in June in Accra, Ghana
code-named the Desert Streams Initiative. It involved several
mission agencies and several Ghanaian Churches. We want to send
laborers into the harvest fields of God in North Africa and beyond to
preach Christ among Muslims.
*Sam Nove and his wife have planted two churches among the pigmies of
the equatorial forest regions of Gabon in Central Africa!!!
* Team unity and cohesion have been seriously compromised and
undermined in the country of Mali. We have problems with leadership
that we are working on right now, and we covet your prayers for the Lord
to be Glorified in spite of us!!!
* Solomon and Letitia have been tasked with moving to the USA
early next year to do a two-year tour of duty to beef up the support base
of the entire movement. We need God s wisdom to do this
successfully. Sooooo many prospective missionaries are waiting in
line to go preach Christ to the nations if we succeed. And so we
dare not fail them in this endeavor!!! Will you pray for us?
* We have a gaping hole of around $35,000 that is needed to meet
our budget for the entire mission for January to June of next year.
Will you help us?
God's very best to you in the Year ahead from…PIONEERS-AFRICA TO YOU!!!
