Tonight I received a call from Pastor Henry saying that there was a student riot at TTI, the school where we hold our church services in Takoradi. When they went to have our church service tonight, the police had the school closed off and they had the church service in the backyard of his house. According to him there were 3 students who were killed in the unrest. These ARE NOT our Bible College students, but the students of the Technical School where we rent a classroom for church services. Our heart goes out to those who may have been injured and their families.
Below is a news-link to a story, which is slim on details.

Pastor Scibelli and a team of pastors and leaders are arriving in Takoradi on Sunday for a three day "mini conference". We are grateful that we have planted two other churches and we will shift our meetings to the Sekondi church location until things calm down.
Thank you for your continued prayer as we are resettling in Baltimore. We are still praying for the Lord's perfect provision for housing. We have applications in for several apartments and are awaiting their approval of our applications. We have found the Baltimore rentals to be hard to get and much more costly than we had anticipated. Your continued prayers and any extra financial gifts during this time would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Chuck
