The term “Beulah” (בְּעוּלָה Bĕ'ulah) occurs only once in the Bible in Isaiah 62:4, and it literally means “married.” The Lord promised Jerusalem, “your land will be married.” It is the Lord’s way of telling the Israelites that they will no longer be desolate and forsaken because He will take them back.

The number 7 is often linked with the idea of perfection and completion. General Naaman had to dip himself into the Jordan River seven times.

True Jesus Church in Ghana and Togo

From January 31 to March 3, preachers GH Chen and TK Chin traveled to Ghana and Togo to pastor members and evangelize.

They spent their time in Ghana visiting seventeen of the twenty-five churches and places of worship, where the number of members varies from ten to one hundred. During the trip, twenty-eight people were baptized in Ghana.

With the power of the Holy Spirit, the True Jesus Church in Ghana is progressing steadily. The members’ understanding of God’s words, their devotion to prayer, and improved willingness to offer and assist in evangelism in nearby countries are a blessing from God.

The Togo ministry began a number of years ago in Kpalime and Badu. During this trip, the preachers spent about one week in Lome, the capital. By God’s grace, ten people were baptized there.

However, there are still many truth-seekers who are yet to be baptized. May the Lord Jesus enlarge His Kingdom in Togo.

May all power and glory be to the name of Jesus.
