How You Can Help Partner With Us
No amount of team training can totally prepare us for what the Lord plans to do in and through us on a short-term missions trip. Half the team has been on a short-term mission in the past, and the other half has not. For majority of the team, this is the first cross-cultural and cross-border missions experience for them, and with that comes the challenge of casting all our doubts, anxiety, cares and weaknesses to the Lord. Please be in prayer for our team as we are in the process of training meetings, fund raising (need to raise $1500/person), and the spiritual preparation of making sure we are ready to serve and allow the Holy Spirit to pour in and out of us.

Would you consider partnering with us in one of three ways?
Firstly, we covet any prayer covering we can get from our Northview families, and anyone else with relationship to our team members! Secondly, we also obviously require finances. You can support us with a general team donation (taxable receipts can be issued), specific team member donations, as well supporting any of our team fund raiser initiatives (see below). Thirdly, you can encourage us…with cards, web posts/blogs on the Northview site, or stopping a team member in the hallway and letting them know you’re praying for them specifically!

Team Fund Raising Initiatives
Here are some practical ways you can help support our team financially, while providing you with quality and usable product!

Weekend Team Commissioning Feb. 13/14th: our team will be selling freshly baked Churros at the conclusion of each of the weekend services…so stop by to say hi, and grab a Northview favorite treat for yourself…and your Valentine’s sweetheart!

Massive Garage Sale Feb. 20th 7:30am-3pm in the Bubble: All proceeds go towards our missions team. This is a great opportunity to support missions & do some early spring cleaning!! Item donations can be made to the church the week of Feb15-19; Mon-Tues: 9-4pm; Wed-Fri: 9-9pm (please make sure all items are in good working order, and that any clothing is washed). *We will also pick up your donations if you require!!

The Jesus Film Project

           
In 2002, Northview partnered with Campus Crusade for Christ (now Power to Change) to produce the Jesus Film in the Twi language for Ghana, West Africa.  This partnership was made possible by the generous donation of a supporter of Campus Crusade who wished for a number of churches to take on the task of reaching the nations with the Gospel.  In early 2004 Northview sent a team to Ghana to premiere the film to the King of the region and his counsel.  It was so encouraging to see the people respond to a film of Jesus made in their heart language!  On the same trip, Northview brought all film equipment needed, plus we were able to purchase a truck for the local pastors to take the film to the surrounding areas.  The team also commissioned Pastor Jacob to be the overseer of the film evangelistic ministry.  Since then, Pastor Jacob and his team have taken the Jesus film far and wide to bring the Gospel to so many who have never heard.  Below is a sampling of the reports that have come back from this incredible ministry!  We will continue to update this periodically, so keep checking back! 

Pastor Jacob is in charge of the Jesus film showings and the equipment.  He is a passionate young man with a great heart for sharing the Gospel to his people.

Pastor Darcy is handing the keys to Christians in Action Ghana for the vehicle that will transport the Jesus film.

Here are a few of the main methods that will be used to make sure the Jesus film gets out to many villages.

The Jesus Film is dedicated by the Pastors of Christians in Action Ghana and a Northview team.

Dear Sir,       
Praise God!!  We are grateful to Our Lord for the opportunity He afford us to travel to a village called KONKRONPE, where the Jesus Film Was shown. We had close to 500 people who came to see and watched the Jesus Film, during the show a fight broke out between two young men who were seriously drunk bringing a temporal hault to the programme. the situation was saved and we proceeded. We had 47 people yesterday giving their lives to Jesus, they were very grateful to God for our coming and the service we conducted in the elders of the village were very grateful God for our coming to them, beause they believe the message delivered to the people of the village will help solve some problems, as most of the youngmen has giving in to strong wine.  We are very happy for the testimony by the elders of the village, but most importantly that you will pray with us for the people who have accepted the Lord as their saviour will not fall to Satan enticement. We pray and hope our ministry there will make great impact in the lives of the people who were ministered to.

Dear Sir,
Greetings to you, We count it all blessings to be called into this glorious kindom which we are granted the permision and Authority by our Lord Jesus to witness in his name. Today is another wonderful experience in NYINASE where the Jesus Film was shown and many people coming from their houses with their stools and watched, some standing, children sitting on the ground. Could you imagine that this Film is no longer for only children?  Adults are moved upon watching the Jesus Film, because of it upgraded form.

We are grateful to God, that He opened the heart of the people to received us and the word of God which is Jesus, the reason of our presence in the village. We had over six hundred people who presented themselves in the open and watched the Jesus Film and seventy two people gave their lives to Jesus. We led them in the sinners prayers and also prayed for God’s grace on the hearts of this young ones in Christ for spiritual growth.  The team is preparing to travel to LINGBINSI in DABOYA and it environs to do Jesus Film Outreach programme to many who some have never had the opportunity to watch the Jesus Film before. It is our prayer that you will help us in prayer that we will be able to travel that distant to reach out to this area called OVERSEAS where many men of God in Ghana do not want to go because of the poor nature of the ROADS and the poverty striken nature. We have promised to go there every year.  The team will leave for this area in the NORTH in the second week of FEB 2010. Hold us in prayer as we are getting ourselves together for this trip, For we need your support for this trip as well.
Yours In His Service, Jake

Greetings, it wonderful and joyful to write and say, a big thanks to you for your effort to give us a new face by upgrading the Jesus Film. For this has given us new strength for the work.  We are grateful to God for the upgrade which gives more clearer understanding and create excitement using black children in the new version. We will also be praying for a new Film called THE PRODIGAL SON which is also a vibrant film for outreach. This gift to CinaGhana is highly appreciated, God bless you for the kind of love you have for his work in Ghana.

Hello Pastor Darcy,
It is a great opportunity having you as a prayer partner and encourager. May God continue His blessings on you and your family. Today, I have read much about your family and Northview on the website, it is my prayer that the Lord will strengthen the church both in spirit and physical growth. 

The Jesus film programme is still ongoing and we thank God for the spirit of carefulness to handle the equipment which has been entrusted into our hands for reaching out to the unreached. We always share with heavens our joy for seeing people come running to received Jesus as their Lord, whenever a Film show is taken place.

Keep praying for us, as we do for you. May God cause His face to shine on you wherever you go.
Your brother Jake

Dear Sir,
The Lord who has been with us, as I and pastor Elijah were given another opportunity to go back to the village call DOTOBAA to finish with the film show which we could not because of the rain.  Getting into the village the people were anxiously waiting as we promised coming to them again. Yesterday we had over six hundred people gathered and watched the film,  and sixty seven people gave their to Christ yesterday at the close of the programme. But the team is asking you for one thing which you like doing and know how to do it ! PRAYER. After setting up our equipments, while waiting for some few minutes to start the programme, a group of youngmen came and said whether We like it or not, they will keep to the drinking of the AKPETASHI a local acholic drink.

These small village needs your support in prayers as almost half of the youngmen and the adults of the village are drunkers, please pray for their children whose future are blind with no hope, it is only God who can cause His light to shine in their hearts. And that the Lord to have mercy on them and bring them to himself.
Yours In His Service Pastor Jake

Dear Sir,

Greetings, and it is good to share with you what the Lord is doing in the Jesus Film outreach programme.  Yesterday was a great opportunity God gave to us to visit a village called BRAHOHO with the Jesus Film to show to the people. On our arrival and upon setting-up the equipment, the place was already packed with people waiting to watch the Jesus film.

We had over five hundred people who came out in their numbers and watched the Jesus Film. After the showing we had fifty two people who gave their lives to Christ, we prayed sinners prayers with them and encourage them to fellowship with a bible believing church. It was an exciting moment for us and the people of the village, their hearts were brought cosser to Jesus to the extent that, the way the programme was presented they want us to start a church so that they can continue to enjoy fellowship with us. But we did encouraged them, as there are many churches as ours who does teach about Christ as we do, we asked them to remain calm and join these churches in the villages.  Please do hold these babies in Christ in Prayers, that the seed sow in them would found its place in a good soil.
Yours Sincerely Pastor Jake

Feb. 27, 2009

Dear Sir,
Greetings to you and our prayer partners, the peace of our Lord Jesus be unto you all. After traveling a long distance to DABOYA, there was a need for us to rest and also do some cleaning and maintenance on our equipments. By the grace of God after all, we yesterday traveled to a village called TOM where we did our showing of the Jesus Film, there we had about 250 people to watch the Film and as many as 17 people gave their lives to Christ which was a great Joy to the Chief and the Elders of the Village. Because some of the young men who gave their life to Christ were people who smoke (marijuana). So when the Chief and his Elder who we met earlier before the program saw what the Lord did, they were pleased. As they were also present and witnessed the program.

We count on your prayer for the young ones (ages 9-14) who were smoking (Marijuana) and has come to the Lord, that they will forever remain in the House of the Lord.
Yours Sincerely Pastor Jake
