April/May 2008 Volume 39 Number 6 FROM THE MINISTER Dear Friends, Thank you. Thank you to all of you for the support in prayer and financial terms of the library at Wesley Girl’s High School, Kumasi , Ghana . Wesley Girls’ High School is situated in Kumasi at the site of Mmofraturo Girls’ School (JSS & Primary) near Wesley College . It was built to encourage girl child education in a country where female literacy is well below that of male literacy. A library at the school will help in turning this round in this region of Kumasi . The library will hopefully accommodate up to 600 girls gaining access at differing times and will include an area for computers so that information on CD and the internet will also be available. The school is part of the Kumasi Diocese of the Methodist Church of Ghana. Education leads to knowledge, knowledge leads to better education, medical facilities and a growing and self sustaining economy. We know that after the preparation, the pain and difficulties of Holy Week came the renewal, hope and light of Easter. I hope that with the help you and many others have given we can bring to the young people of Wesley Girl’s High School the opportunity to renew themselves and bring life and hope to them and their country
This Easter then let us hope that the shaft of light that is Jesus in His risen life will bring new opportunities to the school and to all other communities. This does not mean that all difficulties in the lives of the young people will disappear but remember the disciples’ difficulties did not stop with Easter. There were future struggles, loss of life, inward turmoil. They knew however that after the resurrection Christ was with them in a very special way. Keeping faith in that way will help revitalise the lives of these young girls and give a good foundation for the future. The library itself will not be enough but combined with the other educational opportunities available and a growing faith I am sure that a better life will emerge. If you did not know about this library before and would like to contribute please do not hesitate to contact me. ‘Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!’ Graham
