The Bayala’s Special Report From Ghana
“The Lord has heard my supplication; The Lord will receive my prayer.” Psaml 6:9
PRAISES AND THANKSGIVING
The Lord has been so gracious and merciful to the ministries that he has entrusted into our care. The constrains so numerous yet the Lord is sailing us through always, sometimes at the verge of becoming discourage, but when we look back to analyses the accomplishments, it gives us courage and hope never to relax. With the passage of time sometimes receiving a support of $400.00 and considering the volume of travels and commitments, I ask myself how on earth that could survive the ministries responsibilities. As a result the family was forced to dispose of its private vehicle and meet some of the dying demands of the ministries:
KJV…God’s Only Bible!
What is the truest source of knowing the facts about the Bible? The Bible itself! If a man believes in the Bible as God’s Word then he must believe what the Bible says about itself. We call that faith.
I had a black brother in Sacramento, California that was a great witness for the Lord wherever he went. Sitting on the bus one day by a well dressed man he handed him a tract and tried to strike up a conversation. But the man handed the tract back and said, “Here, keep it, I don’t believe in God.”
Brother James took the tract back and after a pause he said to the man, “Why don’t you believe in God?”
Because I have never seen Him, I have never touched Him and I have never heard Him! Anything that I cannot experience with my senses is not real. How you can believe in a God is beyond me.”
Salvation and Eternal Security
SALVATION AND
ETERNAL SECURITY
“Can I be saved from my sins? And if I do get saved, what happens if I sin again? Will I lose my salvation?” Have you ever had these questions, or similar ones on your mind? Did you know that it is possible for any person to know how to be saved, and then to have the assurance of that salvation and eternal security (eternal salvation)? That’s right! You can know right now how to be saved for all eternity. Want to know? Good! Here’s how.
Prayer Letter from June 2009
Dr. Bayala is Building a Work for God
Dear Brethren:
“My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.” Psalms 89:34.
THANKSGIVING
The goodness of the Lord has been upon us wholly as a family. This second quarter has ended with so many trying moments. The family was plagued with illnesses as malaria affected almost all of us. In the midst of each mind boggling circumstances, the many scheduled activities were never altered. We had a total of thirty-two people giving their lives to the Lord, and seventeen of them have gone through believer’s baptism. The remaining is still in the new converts Sunday school class awaiting the process of baptism.
The Lord also granted me the opportunity to organize soul-winning seminazrs and workshops for other sister churches around the area. As a result, these churches are witnessing a tremendous explosion in their numerical strength. One of the churches, Heritage Baptist church came to testify in my church of moving from twenty-five in attendance to fifty-nine.
Prayer Requests
Our Family Needs Your Prayers
PRAYERS
Many of the Churches that promised us support have not begun as yet. As a matter of urgency we plead with all loving brethren to take special love offering for us to discharge our things from the port. Churches that have also promised taking us on for support should come to our aid.
God is in control and he expects His Church and His people to take a challenge for support.
May the Good Lord be with you all.
Yours in His Service,
REV. EMMANUEL BAYALA

Dear Brethren,
Outreach Ministry
Reaching Out to Those in Need
MINISTRY
Students of Emmanuel Bayala’s Independent Baptist Ministry are required to visit in the villages and win lost souls to the Savior. This page shows somewhat what it looks like when they go to minister to the needy in their area. Pray that this ministry will be a powerful example of what God can do in this country to train soul-winners and to make them into a spiritual army carrying the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pastoral Training
Ministry of Training Pastors
The purpose of the Emmanuel Bayala Ministry is to train national pastors to spread the Gospel in his native country of Ghana, West Africa. Shown in the picture are some of the students of the colleges. Dr. Bayala notes that Ghana is one of the most peaceful countries in Africa and that one reason for his desire to train African Pastors as Independent Baptists is because of the rise of the Charismatic Movement and the only other alternative is the Catholic Church. He finds that people who have been in both are now looking for substance which can only come from the teaching of Bible Doctrine so that people have meat instead of milk in their spiritual growth.
MINISTRY OF STUDENTS
On arrival we decided to train some vibrant young and able men from the Church we pastured for ten years. The young men we also sent to the Bible School also completed with their studies and are vigorously helping us on personal soul-winning. The joy of the whole matter is that there is a lot of growing concerns about lost souls wherever we went. We often have new people meeting for training sessions.
School
Students in School
Along with training Pastors in West Africa there is a need to teach people to read. Dr. Bayala has gotten his Doctorate degree specifically so that the country will recognize his Degree and allow him to operate a school for the dual purpose of training pastors and teaching people how to read. The more people learn to read, the more they can study the Bible and grow in the Lord. Pictured are some of the typical people that Dr. Bayala is training to read.
Not only do we train young ministers for the Gospel, but we also train people to read so that they can read the Bible and advance their lives through education. As we teach them to read we thrill to be able to see them Reading the Bible and learning the truths of the Word of God.
Ministry of Emmanuel Bayala
Preaching and Mentoring
Emmanuel Bayala has a ministry that includes pastoring and mentoring his church people, teach and administrating a Bible College, and visiting the sick and needy. His background goal originally was to become a Medical Doctor and even though God has called him into the ministry, he still loves to visit and help those who are in medical need. Please keep watching this page for more information as updates are available.
