Every day here seems like atleast two. Because we usually do something in the morning and then something in the evening and sometimes, like this week, we then continue on down the road to the thrid place and get good a wore out before we call it a day.
Hey, when it's for the kingdom, anything less than total exhaustion is nearly inexcusable. Travelling 6000 miles to get here and lazing around don't cut it. We're burdened and burn out is not in our vocabulary. We can adjust when we get back.

It's been gruelling, challenging and incredibly rewarding!
I'll only blog about a few places we went, and blog some more tomorrow, which by the way we get to visit Grace again tomorrow!

So we set out on the journey to the Volta region, over the Akosambo bridge to the city of Ho, and met a Reverend "ThyWill" there. He had a very nice home and a huge church right next door. We then went to LaboLabo and met the teachers and children and preacher there. We danced with praised the Lord and danced with the ladies and the kids. It was an informal meet & greet but we broke the ice and Rev James is planting seeds for the kingdom here.
We went back to Ho and got a hotel room. A rare find unless you're in a big city in this country. It was nice with A/C, hot shower and comfy bed. Included breakfast too!
We headed out then that evening to Kpeve, Pastor Johnson's church, and I was asked to go to a local radio station for a 1/2 hour program. When I sat down in the studio, the DJ began asking me about the "Program" tomorrow, which I took to mean our water purification installation in Adigbo Tornu.

I soon figured out that the "Program" was a planned revival, in which Anita and I were two of the Featured speakers.
I'm told this is not uncommon in Ghana to be the featured guest without knowing it.
Poor folks, started at 9am and went at it until 3pm, then waited until 4:30pm for me to show up, which I never did. Why? Because we did not have phone reception and no one with me knew we were the featured speakers. Simply amazing. It was fun being on the radio, but missing the 6 newspapers that were there to interview us the next day, that stings a little bit.
But GOD had a plan and we, despite many little diversions, were able to succeed and provide clean water to the people of Adigbo Tornu, leaving there well after dark, near 7:30pm.
The installation completion was an absolute victory in my mind and in my heart. Just ask Anita, Becky, Davi & Richie. I cut loose in a major way and was the entertainment for the next 3 hours. More another time on that.
We proceded down a very bumpy road to Alavanyo and worshipped into the night, with one light bulb, under some trees, tarps and thatch.
Those people raised the roof! I love this singing and dancing. Man-O-Man, they let loose! No amplified instrument or voices, just a drum and some shakeres, like a tamborine and some serious shake it down now, what'cher Reverend say rompin stompin celebration!
I LOVE it!
Time to let the pictures tell the story...

GOD burdened our hearts for the people of Aigbo Tornu and all those who thirst for clean water. The 2nd most basic human physical need next air.
In the end, she doesn't have much choice, the choice is (y)ours.
We pray you join us on a mission trip to Ghana to make and BE the difference in lives like these.
