Selasi preaching to 1000 students

A PROPOSAL FOR SPONSORSHIP TO START A BUSINESS

November 21, 2004

My name is Selasi Koffi Ackom. I am a young missionary/evangelist from Tema, Ghana, West Africa. I have been in this field for about four years. I am currently serving as Sunday school teacher at a church called Christ Harvest Ministry. Because of the deep love I have got for children, I have one of my hobbies to be spending time with kids. I have be to Christian outreaches and also served as a counselor and an usher at big crusade grounds with the above-mentioned church.

Brethren, I am currently in my final year at the S.S.S (senior secondary school). I will graduate next year after I write my final exams in June and end on July. I am 19years of age. I was born on the 28/9/1985. I started preaching at school some few months after I was enrolled in as a student. Through the student program called the SU (scripture union) I was fixed to preach to the students. I often preach to them on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am not the only person who preaches to them but I do it often because I have got much experience than them. Most friends even ask me to help them equip the way of preaching in public. I do take them in lectures encouraging them and teaching them how to preach in more stylish way. By God's Grace I have been able to affect the whole school with the Gospel of Christ. I have had opportunities to save souls. I have won souls, and also have put encouragement into students who are already Christians to do the work of an evangelist. I know that, I being a student was not only to learn but to fulfill a purpose there and indeed I am achieving them. I have attached a photo of me preaching to about 1000 students on one Wednesday morning.

My vision as a Christian is to one-day take of the orphans and the disabled at my mission home. Not only that, I also want to be a blessing unto humanity. That is sharing the love of God with everyone in the world. I have got the vision to win all the unsaved souls back for Christ. I one day also want to be see myself becoming a full time missionary.

For me to achieve these visions successfully, I need help from dedicated sponsors – who will sponsor me start up a good business. This business will be the foundation of my success. This business will bring more income that will enable me to further my education to a higher level, raise income for me to continue with my school-to-school preaching. This same business will also bring income for me in order to start a living by myself and also lead me to marry. Beside a successful man is a wife.

I want to start a trading business, because in Ghana, the good form of business is the sole proprietor. This business is for me to buy goods in my country and sell them in my country. This business can change it nature at any time due to the demand of the consumers in the country. But for now I want to start with buying Ghanaian kente clothes and other good that have a higher demand in the country currently. I need about $200 or more for the first inventory. In addition – there are other miscellaneous expenses including transportation for the goods/inventory, little payment to the distributor and etc…

If I start the business with $200, I will get a profit of about $ 50 - $70 or even more depending on the market structure at the end of every three to four weeks. With $500 to start, I could even start up a better business. I will have my weekend doing this business since it does not demand for much time being put into it. Otherwise I have got someone who knows good customers to sell them to, so she will be doing that for me. I work under a pastor and I will there ask him to write you to confirm all that I said about me. I therefore promise honestly to be accountable to whatever goes on the business and every profit I make. Please brethrens this business will be of much help to me as stated above when you help me to start it. God bless you and hope to hear from you soon.

Yours Truly,

Selasi Koffi Ackom.
