Angels in Africa

About the Book

You will enjoy this story of how God is at work in our everyday lives. It is an autobiography of Jerry Gibson, a man who has dedicated his life to God’s service. This book shows us how Jerry was called to Ghana, West Africa to direct the founding of Ghana Christian College. Those that came after him searched for the best land for building the college. He recruited a faculty and enrolled students. Thirty-seven years later Ghana Christian College became Ghana Christian University. Its new campus was inaugurated in the summer of 2003. The book will bring both joy and tears as Jerry shares the difficult times he and his family endured. Through it all Jerry gives us his personal account of Christ’s abundant light and love at work in his life. I hope you enjoy reading Angels In Africa as much as I have. After reading Jerry’s book I recommend sharing it with a friend or family member so that Christ’s light and love might reach out to all people. Victor W. Pearn February 24, 2004

About the Author

I am honored to commend Jerry Gibson, the author of Angels in Africa to you. I have been acquainted with Jerry from the very beginning of his Christian walk. I well recall when he showed up on our doorstep in Minneapolis, as we provided lodging for him and several other prospective students of Minnesota Bible College. We have followed his illustrious career with his faithful wife Normadeene from its inception. It is a thrilling story of Christian pioneering. Jerry has ministered to local congregations, planted new churches. He has served as a professor and president of a Bible college, and was a pioneer in establishing campus ministries. His most noteworthy accomplishment is what prompted the writing of this book, Angels in Africa, as he and Normadeene traveled with their four children to Ghana, West Africa to be the Founders of Ghana Christian College and Seminary. This book tells of the perils they faced, and the encounters they had with angels, which helped them accomplish their mission in Ghana. All four of the children were delivered from the jaws of death by guardian angels. You will be inspired and have your faith strengthened as you read about these thrilling encounters.
