July - August Prayer Letter

The Launderville Family July - August Prayer Letter.

We want to thank those who have been praying for us. God is working and we know it is because you are praying. We also want to thank our Partners in this ministry, for your faithful support it has been a much needed blessing.  

Dear Friends and Partners,
   Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,  Ephesians 3:20  Thank God we are seeing this promise being fulfilled.
   Praise God we are at 45%. Since our last prayer letter we have been in at least 24 meetings in SC, GA, TN, NC, IN, and VA. God has blessed many times allowing us to experience His presence and be a blessing to others. We have had at least 8 Churches take us on for support in the last 2 months.
   Thank God for Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. We were in Primrose Georgia at Faith Baptist Church Missions Conference when our van broke down. It was number 4 cylinder diesel injector that decided to quit about 5 miles from the Church. The Lord allowed us to get to the Church as well as to the mechanic. God is faithful. He knew we didn’t have the $1200.00 to repair it so He used some precious Brothers and Sisters in Christ to help us. The bill was paid and the van got fixed. We want to personally thank Pastor Ogle and all those that have donated and helped in this situation. We pray that God will richly bless you.
  God has given us a goal for departure, December 2019.  God has given us peace about this date. Just like the principle of Faith Promise Giving, He lays upon our heart a time and by faith we will see this come to pass. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 1Thessalonians 5:24
  Please pray about our Transition Fund. We need to raise $50,000 to transition from the USA to Ghana. The Transition Fund would include money for the following:
 $15,000 to buy an automobile. Hopefully something 4X4 because the roads are terrible in the rainy season.
 $10,000 for 2 years of rent. Most house rent contracts require you to pay for the entire 2 year rent upfront.
 $3,500 for house repairs. I expect to have to work on the house I rent. Most houses are not finished but the owner will still rent it to us anyway. We will need to build a storage shed to keep things from being stolen. 
 $4,000 Immigration fees. This is for us to get legal alien status so we won’t have to go out every 60 days.
 $5,500 for appliances and generator.
 $8,000 for shipping a container with our belongings and customs fees.
 $4,000 for flight tickets.     
If anyone desires to donate to this please mark for “Launderville Transition Fund”.   
  We want to close by telling you we are thankful for your prayers and support.  Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

May God bless all of you as you serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

Bro. John and Family                           


May - June Prayer Letter

The Launderville Family May - June Prayer Letter.

We want to thank all those who have been praying for us. We also want to thank our Partners in this ministry, for your faithful support it has been a blessing.


Dear Friends and Partners,
   Behold, God is mine helper: the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. Psalm 54:4.  We are thankful that God is our helper as we strive to serve Him, but we are even more thankful that He is with all of you who uphold and support us financially and prayerfully.
   Thank God for Safety to Ghana and back. We left on May the 27th from Richmond to JFK in New York. Our flight to Accra, Ghana left at 6pm and was a 10.5 hr flight. We arrived in Accra at 8:30 AM. The Ghanaian Immigration and Customs staff were very friendly as they assisted us especially since our 2 youngest children were crying. The Ghanaians enjoyed seeing the children especially Sam. All the ladies wanted to hold him. My wife was able to see several places in Ghana. We went to the city of Takoradi and as we walked into the market the Ghanaian ladies all got excited at the sight of Paula and Sam and they started to chatter about how she was holding Sam the wrong way. Carrie was holding him in her arms and not on her back. We stayed in the village of Kanasaworado and my wife was able to see what an average sized village is like. We also visited the small village of Mampong several miles outside of Kanasaworado. You pass through several miles of jungle and farms on the old road to Tarkwa to get to this village. We stopped and talked to some of the locals as they were distilling coconut oil. I was able to get some pictures of my wife and children with these people as they talked. You can find these pictures and others about the trip on our website www.gospelforghana.blogspot.com . We were able to get a lot of financial information and put together a list of things to bring with us when we move. I was able to preach twice at the Kanasaworado Independent Baptist Church. We returned on the 5th of June. God truly blessed the trip and we are looking forward to the day when we are able to leave and go to the place of God’s calling.
   Praise God we are at 31% of our support needed. God has blessed and we had several take us on recently.   
Please continue to pray for us as we have started back on a full schedule. We are praying that God would allow us to reach 75% by the first of next year. This may seem to be a high goal, but we serve a God who “… is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Eph 3:20  Thank you all again for your faithful prayer and support.

May God bless all of you as you serve our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,

Bro. John and Family
