- Indeed, he does not want to do anything.
- He just copies and compiles long and useless passages from the Bible, hoping to impress Sister Dave with her knowledge of the Faith.
- Ok, he studies on Google and searches for relevant biblical passages, but nothing else.
- Now, he has reached the stage where he asks for money to buy a plot of land. Yeah, sure!
Greetings Sister Dave,
Life is mystery,firstly on my proposal to your organization through late Father Robert Zalee,I was seeking a donation assistance from your organization.
We as a family of Christ are engaged in missionary, touching the lives of the underprivileged, through donations to the various indigenous NGO’S and the motherless babies.
Further more as part of our goal’s, we are engaged in gathering the displaced children in our society and teaching them GOD’S word,enlightening their knowledge by sending them to school, and clothing them,taking into consideration their shelter, which we also give to them.
Please i need you to understand and please donate anything to assist us to have our own church land and to be able to move to our own building, i want you to please assist this children for a better tomorrow.
But as the case looks I am just beginning with the ministry,that was my main reason why i was searching for NGO’S before i came across late Father Robert Zalee and the old man promise to assist me and he introduce me to your organization
after then Reverend Edward told me if you think you could be our local Reverend there in Ghana.then we can discuss it in detail. Please, think very well and do not rush! The Faith is something you choose to share with your brothers and sisters! You will have the opportunity to be our representative and you will have to take care of all your sheep there.
of which agreed with him and he game me a membership form to fill which i did and i fill and sign the form with a red pen which i never expect myself to sign a document with a red pen,signing any document with a red pen is against the law of nurture,anyone who sign any entity with a red pen is in danger of his life,but i took the risk for Christ sake,and is not enough for you people you authorize me again to go through different ritual assignment..
I never practice any physical spiritual things like this before in my entire life,i only read and study the word of God and meditate on the word of God.
Please our God is watching everyone heart good or bad
poverty make me to fall into your hands.why are you giving me all these bad conditions.I will never trespass enter someone's land or property because of money,it's a criminal offence over here in my country Ghana.please look for a way in your heart to help me out so that we can move our parish forward.i'm already a member of your church.please think about it?
have a wonderful bless day in Jesus name
With very best regards.
Under the Grace of the Holy Lamb, be blessed!
I anticipate your favorable response and may the good lord richly bless you as you respond positively to this call.
Stay blessed.

Sister Dave:
Dear brother Anderson,
We are convinced of the good you are doing for your community already, that is one of the reasons the elders chose you to start a new parish in Ghana.
I want to remind you again that I have told you several times now that we can send you the funds after you have done the baptism ritual in front of the completed temporary monument of faith. You can try to complain about our protocols, but that will not change them. I can write a lengthy message about this, but I don't like to waste my time.
I'm sorry that you are having difficulties with finding a plot of land for the monument of faith, that is why I advised you to ask one of your friends or assistants if you can build it temporarily on their land. I gave you some solutions and it is up to you to use them or find another problem for every solution that I give you.
You are a man of faith and you should stand firm in that faith.
Be blessed

Greetings Sister Dave,
I pray to the almighty God if this great calling for me to be come a reverend to the new Holy Lamb parish in my country Ghana,so shall it come to past in Jesus name Amen.
There are numerous leadership models in the Bible, such as school of prophets, servant leadership, teacher-learner relationship, disciple-making, coaching, mentoring, amongst others.
In a general sense a shepherd refers to a keeper of sheep. This is the person who tends, feeds, or guards the flocks. The Hebrew word for shepherding is often translated as 'feeding' as it is impressed by the next statement, 'I shall not want' or 'I shall lack nothing' - alluding to the fact that the Psalmist means he will lack neither in this life nor in the next. Further, according to Anderson (1972):
The New Testament has 16 references to 'shepherds'. The shepherds were amongst the first to receive the message of Jesus' birth and visit him (Lk 2:8-20).
When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well's mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well. (Gn 29:3)
Water in the Bible is sometimes used to refer to the Holy Spirit, who plays a significant role in salvation processes, for 'in baptism we are born again (Jn 3:5), we are renewed by the Spirit'. It certainly is in the case of water baptism. A shepherd intentionally leads his flock to water regularly for renewal and refreshment. He will roll away the stone covering the well and draw the water for the flocks. In the ecclesiastical leadership context, a shepherd-leader rolls the stones of hard hearts and prepares those hearts to be receptive to the nourishment of the Holy Spirit. This can only be accomplished by rolling away the stone of the 'self' culture so the light of God's written Word can shine through teaching and proper exegesis, through prayer, and living in obedience to the commands of Jesus Christ.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. (Mt 28:19-20)
A pastor is the leader of a Christian congregation who also gives advice and counsel to people from the community or congregation
The parish priest is the proper clergyman in charge of the congregation of the parish entrusted to him. He exercises the pastoral care of the community entrusted to him under the authority of the diocesan bishop, whose ministry of Christ he is called to share, so that for this community he may carry out the offices of teaching, sanctifying and ruling with the cooperation of other priests or deacons and with the assistance of lay members of Christ's faithful, in accordance with the law.
Above all Sister Dave,Please I want to inform you that I just spoke with someone this morning regards to temporary land for me to carry out this last task.
I was told to rent the temporary land and I don't have any money to rent the temporary land also i don't have money to buy the materials to build the temporary monument of faith.
Please Sister Dave I want you to assist me with some little money to rent the temporary land and the materials to build the temporary monument of faith.
have a wonderful bless day in Jesus name
With very best regards.
Under the Grace of the Holy Lamb, be blessed!
I anticipate your favorable response and may the good lord richly bless you as you respond positively to this call.

- We (Linoline and me) assume that the other "parishioners" have lost their patience and no longer want to participate in the "story" until they are paid. Probably also his wife (sister Tina) yelled at him and told him to get some money quickly.
- His current attitude does not match the attitude he has had so far... so, something serious for him (and of course funny for us
) has happened in that village near Accra.
- We hope that his greed will overcome his reason and that he will lend money to continue the process of Adherence to the holy protocols of the Lamb.
