In strategic partnership with Christians in the United States, working alongside the nationals in Ghana, the Nichols share the love and healing power of Jesus Christ through relief and development, orphanage work and pastoral ministry to the people of Ghana.
In answer to God’s specific call on our lives we are to work in Ghana, West Africa. Our vision is to see people experience the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit. We have a heart for the nations, for all people, to see them embrace the Father and see our Father God embrace them. Through the power of the Holy Spirit at work in and through us we are sure that we are to be in Ghana at this time in our lives.
As missionaries with The Assemblies of God we committed to a lifetime of service. We are accountable to the Lord first and foremost and then our supporters; this is why we offer to send updates on a regular basis as well as invite our supporters to come and see who and what they are investing in.
Since Jesus is our model and since his mission was to proclaim good news to the poor and minister to the needs of oppressed peoples everywhere, our mission today is to be understood in the same or similar terms. Rather than community development, we ask you to pray that the work we do will be transformational development. Transformational development reflects our concern for seeking positive change in whole of human life materially, socially and spiritually primarily through our expanded Christian witness.
Our ministry finds us working alongside those in the north who rarely, if ever, receive any outside help. As we were moved by the Lord, we committed to being their voice; pastors, most of whom make a measly five dollars each month, who feel forgotten, need to know they are not.
Building schools and digging bore holes for water are the means by which we share healing and hope; physically as well as spiritually. For some time now Iran-supported Muslim missionaries have been promising villages in the north that they will build schools and bring water in the name of Allah. Yet, it is us, Christian missionaries, who are building schools and bringing water in the Name of Jesus.
Through this type of ministry we’ve witnessed hundreds of Muslims confess Jesus.  Our school, once only twenty, now runs over 500 and continues to grow. Recently God moved in the heart of village chief, an idol worshipper, to give us land in the middle of what they call a “Muslim stronghold”.
Help us build a school on this land and God will fill it with children. Help us dig a well and the whole Muslim community will proclaim, as their leaders did during our school dedication in Basyonde, “We now see that your God truly cares.”
