Gospel Chariot Missions, West Africa, First Quarter Update – 2020
Hi Everyone,
Our prayers are with our hurting world at this time. Our chariots are all off the road, but I must say, we as a team are onto a new dream and we are loving it as we learn how to do church via zoom. I personally worship with small groups, breaking bread at least 5 times on a Sunday. I also get together with another 5 groups during the week, helping them regarding disciple making and saving souls for Jesus. As they say “when life hands you a lemon, make lemonade” and that kind of sums up where we are as a team. Bottom line, we are learning so much and when those chariots get going again, we will be so much better equipped and ready for God’s work.
PLEASE SEE OUR WEST AFRICAN UPDATE BEFORE LOCKDOWN
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, FOR WORKING WITH US AND LETS GET EXCITED ABOUT WHAT LIES AHEAD. THIS TOO WILL PASS.

More from Isaac has reported the following from Liberia on the 4th of February:
Our team (Gospel Chariot Mission) traveled to Goagortuo, Kamplay, Nimba county, a stone throw away from Ivory coast, and 180 miles away from Monrovia, for a Church planting campaign in Bro Cyrus Behyee’s village.
Upon Brother Behyee graduation from Restoration Bible and Agriculture institute, he expressed his desire to move on to his village to plant the Lord’s Church.
Gospel Chariot Mission alone with some of Cyrus’s former instructors and school mates (Alfred Beyan, Moses Beh and Paul Parten) embark on a rowdy journey, but successful, to honor Cyrus’s invitation to help him plant the Church. Four days public preaching and evangelism were carried on.
We made it. Goagortuo Church of Christ has been planted with thirty one (31) baptisms. We give God the glory.
Our team is back on base preparing for Lofa. We appreciate you all for your prayers and support.
Our next port of call is Lofa county.

We have had more than 30 baptism as of today Sunday.
In a week long gospel campaign of our team and chariot I received the following report from Nathern Tears preacher of Bong mines church:
The campaigns were held in Bong Mines once a booming mining town in Lower Bong county and Moigan Village.
