Students and Teachers

Thursday in Sogakope [Sogakope, Ghana] Today began early as both Jeff and I had schools scheduled to begin at 7:30. This meant breakfast had to be served at 6:45. The kitchen staff was “almost on time,” with coffee and toast arriving by 7:00am. Such is the idea of time in Ghana! All the schools today were again wonderful. During this entire project I have only been in one school that was unruly and a bit disrespectful. In that particular school the teachers were disengaged and did not attend the assembly, but rather sat outside the group lounging and talking as...

Another Afternoon in Ghana

Wednesday in Sogakope [Sogakope, Ghana] As of noon today (local time) our team has been able to share the Gospel in 96 separate venues with over 25,000 individuals which is certainly a testimony to the dedicated and directed men we have on the ground in Ghana.  These choice servants of the Lord work tirelessly for the six months prior to our American team’s arrival to ensure that all the details have been considered to assure a wonderfully successful ministry project here. Each day brings us new opportunities and challenges.  The roads are difficult, the weather is hot, the power is...

Rainy Days and Mondays

Monday in Sogakope [Sogakope, Ghana] The most needed, but least enjoyed, days of the projects in Ghana are the weekends.  Saturdays and Sundays offer a great time of rest, relaxation, and reflection which are necessary, but these days also seem to pass so slowly. On Sunday our team walked into the town and found a pizza place where we decided to take a chance and eat.  The place was clean and the food was good.  We enjoyed the break from the routine of the hotel even though the walk there and back was in the midst of some of the...

“One-A-Week Challenge” – Week 11

“You keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You!" Isaiah 26:3 NLT The ideal of peace is something for which all humanity seems to strive..  In the face of the reality of global conflicts, battles, and wars, the world calls for peace but none seems forthcoming.  American Poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote “And in despair I bowed my head; ‘There is no peace on earth’ I said; ‘For hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on earth, good-will to men!’”[1]  This verse from a Christmas carol  was based on the 1863 poem he...

The Dental Clinic Closes – Saturday in Sogakope

Saturday in Sogakope [Sogakope, Ghana] It is difficult to know the exact impact of this week’s dental clinic here in Ghana.  Dr. David P. Ney dds from Concord, NC made his seventh trip to Ghana since 2008.  With each trip he has become more adept in his special dental ministry.  On Saturday alone, he extracted teeth from 29 individuals. David has a true servant’s heart and is a valuable part of our larger ministry team.  I count it an honor to call him my friend.  He departed Ghana on Saturday for his trip home.  He will be missed by everyone....
