Akwaaba, Come Sit - Watch Baby TV

--

Akwaaba, (Welcome in Twi). Though English is commonly spoken here in Ghana, Twi is the native lingo and fun to learn. Ye Fre mi David (My name is David). Mi da si pi (Thank You). (the i sounds like e, Mee Dah See Pee.

So, when you come WITH us next year, that's right, YOU! You will be made to feel welcome. You will find a new extended family waiting to Welcome you with open arms from the eldest to the youngest. In fact, Rev. James' 2 yr old daughter, as I'm sitting here typing this, just turned in her tiny little chair and said, "Come, sit, watch baby TV." In the most sincere childs voice full of the Akwaaba Spirit that lives in these people.

This has been a most excellent experience. Walking the pages of Anita's book is just EXCITING ! As Anita meets people she has not seen since 2005, her last mission trip here, I hear the name, I'm able to place a face with the story and the pages and it's just a time of huge smiles and great joy.

As Anita preached today, it is a "Homecoming!"

I spoke as well and shared some testimony of being shot and the word GOD gave me to share was "Believe." It starts with believe and then you act on what it is you believe.

I believe that rev. James' vision is authentic and will be realized and it moves me to act upon it. I have much to share with you that GOD has laid on my heart. I hardly slept last night wrestling with GOD about what to say to these people today. I had to one word, but what about it.

Well, without telling the whole thing, look up the 1st and last instance of believe in the old and new testament.

Genesis, Habkuk - Matthew and Jude.

Rev James (RJ) is INTENSE !!! Man o man it was an awesome service today and time after time we have sat and talked and it has been confirmation to each other of our union for a common goal.

Here's some photo's for you -

Tomorrow we go to Potwabin and see "GRACE," the one that Anita wrote about. And continue on to Elmina to visit a relic of a slave castle. The "Point of no return" for many men, women and children.

Peace Out -
