"If you wait for the perfect moment when all is safe and assured... mountains will not be climbed, races won, or lasting happiness achieved."  Maurice Chevalier - French actor/singer

What can God do with a yielding heart?  Psalm 41:1&2 says "Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.  The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth;  You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies."  Psalm 37:3&4 states "Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on his faithfulness.  Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart."

What are you being called to do?  Listen quietly to your heart and for God's voice.  Feel that quickening within you? Go? Send? Pray? Give? Help?  What is God telling you?  Keep listening!  Act.

For a while God was telling me "not yet"...  now he is saying "pack your bags, sell, GO.  I am preparing the way for you."  Now is my time.  Kumasi, Ghana is the place.  When and where are you being called?

Listen... God loves you and will guide you... just ASK Him.

May God's love and blessings be with you all.

Meet Tom Molinaro.  Tom went on his first mission trip last year.  I asked him what qualified him to go on a mission trip to Ghana?  ...or to anywhere, as a matter fact!  His answer: "I wasn't qualified at that time.  No qualifications."  I asked him "how long did it take you before you realized that God was leading you?"  His response: "It was months before God started speaking to me through other people.  Many small 'coincidences' that added up to confirmations of what I was beginning to feel deep down inside my heart.  These were confirmed through other peoples words."  Tom went to Ghana in September, 2012.  His life was changed forever!

 

Tom ministered to many people while in Ghana.  Here Tom was helping passing out medications and praying with Ghanaian people at one of the medical clinics that his team was involved with.   His cheery songs and attitude kept spirits high!  He has a deep love for the children and was constantly surrounded by them, giving and getting many hugs and so much love!

 

There are many ways in which one can help.  One of the simplest is to help us spread the word.  Tell people about our website: www.stepbystepworldwide.org.  Many are called... join us on our journey.



 



I’m ONLY ONE PERSON.  What can I do?  “I’m not qualified to go.”

 

Ask  almost anybody who has been on a mission trip anywhere in the world (including within the USA) what “qualified you to go” and a vast majority will tell you – “nothing qualified me to go”.  They just went!  Virtually everyone comes back with so much to report on their experiences.  Even just hugging someone.  Loving them.  Listening to them.  Ghanaians are no exception.  Americans are the ones that first brought the gospel to Ghana and the Ghanaian people receive us with open arms.  We are constantly running into people who have been on mission trips.  I’m sure you have too!  Next time you do, ask them about their experiences!  You will be amazed.  God asks “who will go?”  I said “I will.”  How about you?! 

Can’t go?  Help is needed in so many ways.  Financial support is a great need that even the smallest donation helps. We are currently purchasing furnishings for the first stage of the orphanage and are in the process of buying/building materials for the kitchen, beds, and living area for the temporary orphanage.  As with any ministry, financial support is always a major need – we are no exception!  Prayer is also essential.  Have a group or club that we can speak to?  Contact us for more information!  Can’t go or help financially?  Tell others about us and keep Step By Step in your prayers spread the word by telling people about our website… www.stepbystepworldwide.org.

 

If you want to know what God wants you to do –

Ask Him, and He will gladly tell you.
