Day 12 - 13


---

A day of shopping was rather uneventful. We found some great gifts for folks back home and that shopping is just as good if not better in Tema as it is in Accra.

I found this verse of scripture today:


Isaiah 21:14 (New International Version)
bring water for the thirsty; you who live in Tema, bring food for the fugitives.

Selah...

Today was church and we had a great time! We all got to speak and give thanks and share the stories from the journey.

A few highlights can not escape mention. Victoria, Richie's wife sang for us. As sweet as a song bird, my heart melted. I asked her to sing again and my soul floated towards heaven!

The next notable was that this year, we were surprised and presented with wood carved statues that represent things about us and our mission. It was touching and we were honored by the gesture.

Then it was our turn and we took all the folks here who contributed to our mission, to lunch at a local Chinese restaurant. Another good time had by all. They're our family in Ghana and we so very much appreciate them.

Last year Rev James preached that you could not seek GOD and not find GOD. And I came back to the USA with the knowledge that you could not go to Ghana and not be changed forever!

Evidence of some transformations -

Finally, Anita ran into an old friend named Abigail that some of you may know from previous trips to Ghana.


And they embraced like the sisters they are.

We'll never be the same and we wish it would never end. The journey has just begun. Our water purification ministry and child sponsorship will continue and we pray the team that comes next year will grow as well.
We look forward to coming and sharing with you further!
