Portia Konadu Yiadom

Portia is based in Accra as the women’s worker for Relite Africa Ministries – a Ghanaian-led training scheme that was started in 2009 by Rev Yaw Boamah. Relite teaches university students at one of Ghana’s top universities to ‘correctly handle the word of truth’ (2 Timothy 2:15).

Around 74% of Ghanaians describe themselves as Christians, with a fairly large proportion of these attending church every Sunday. However, the majority are not clear about the gospel and the centrality of Jesus’ death on the cross. Most are nominal in their faith or focused on their own prosperity now in this world.

There is real spiritual hunger in Ghana and so there is a great need for the Bible to be taught clearly and for future leaders to be equipped with bible handling skills. Relite aims to provide this training to godly and able students who, God-willing, may go into full time bible teaching ministry in the future.

Portia’s role at Relite includes one-to-ones with female students, teaching bible handling skills and training students for evangelism. Portia also serves at her local church by teaching the Bible to women, youth and children and leading studies for bible study leaders.

'For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as you servants for Jesus’ sake.' 2 Corinthians 4:5

Latest News from Portia Konadu Yiadom

Thank you greatly for praying with us. We are so very grateful.

Please thank the Lord for:

We thank the Lord for seeing us through ten months of Zoom lessons on how to handle the Bible accurately, so that we can see the Lord Jesus through the Scriptures, love him and point others to him.
Give thanks to the Lord for providing all the resources we need for a two-week residential intensive bible handling course for the Relite students. It will take place from 7 – 18 June and will be the first time that we are meeting physically since September 2020 when the 20/21 batch started. We are delighted and pray for a mutually encouraging time in the word as we practice hands-on bible handling and watch David Jackman’s videos Equipped to Preach.
Give thanks for my quick recovery following a period of bad abdominal pain. It healed through prayer and I didn’t have to take any medication.

Please ask the Lord for:

Pray for a great time of equipping and training with the Relite students during the two week residential. In the first week, they will preach from a passage in John and the following week they will give a 10 minute talk from a passage in Romans.
As the course comes to an end for 20/21 our students, pray that they will be equipped and trained to handle God’s word accurately and to teach and train others to do the same. Pray that they won’t grow weary of the hard work of expository preaching or drift back to old ways of handling scriptures but will persevere in observing, interpreting and applying the text in its context, depending on the Holy Spirit.
Pray for the Lord’s protection and provision of good health for our students and teachers, particularly that they’d be protected from COVID.
Pray that the Lord will provide a Christian sister to partner with me in prayer. Most of the friends that I pray with are now married and so are busy or on different schedules. Pray that the Lord will provide a Christian sister who I can pray with and we can share our lives.
Pray for suitable and affordable accommodation for me.

We are eternally grateful for all your prayers and support. God richly bless you,

Pray
