In November 2004, Jason Rapert traveled to Ghana
to conduct missions work, and, with the approval of the Conway Rotary Board, surveyed various projects for the club to sponsor.
Guided by Rev. Frederick Kyereko, Principal of the Southern Ghana Bible College, Jason located a small village that had no local access to potable water. Residents could only get water to their 2,000 residents by carrying it on their heads up a very steep incline for several hundred yards. Rotarian Mike Pike became involved in the project and traveled with Jason to Ghana in November 2005 and participated in a ground breaking ceremony for the water project. In November 2006, Jason made his 4th trip to Ghana traveling with a team of 6 members. While in Ghana, the Upper Town Kormantse Water Project was successfully dedicated. After 2 years of work, the water system is working - booster pump installed, water pipes laid, reservoir tanks in place, water taps connected, and finally water is running there. In November 2007, Holy Ghost Ministries (HGM) made its 5th humanitarian mission trip to Ghana West Africa under the call of God to evangelize the world. A team of 9 people from Arkansas and Missouri made the intercontinental journey to bring hope, peace and love to the nation of Ghana and its people. We are happy to report that many were saved and God continues to place His hand upon HGM to carry out His work. Every HGM partner, friend, volunteer, contributor and supporter has played a part in the water projects, feeding projects, building projects, scholarships and evangelistic programs. With God's continued help and direction, we remain committed to going wherever the Holy Spirit directs us to go. Our lives are not our own, we have been called and set apart for the work of God. May we all never cease to feel the Lord's guiding hand.
