Ghana Updates

[Friday, 25 September 2015 –Asuom, Ghana] — It’s hard to believe that one week ago we were sitting in the airport lounge at JFK anticipating what the next week would hold.  Rarely are we able to know exactly what is going to transpire in the coming days.  The wait in the Delta lounge gave our team…

[THURSDAY, 24 September 2015 –Asuom, Ghana] — We awoke this morning to a cool, clear day and enjoyed a delicious breakfast in our outside dining area.  The food continues to improve as Ernest (the chef) learns our tastes. This hotel is adequate and clean with a staff that is intent on making us comfortable which affords…

[Tuesday, 22 September 2015 –Asuom, Ghana] — The long, bumpy, and dusty roads that lead to our village assignments each day are challenging.  Often we wonder if our vehicles are going to make the trek but so far we have been able to negotiate these paths with seemingly little difficulty. As reported yesterday one Rover’s broke…

[Monday, 21 September 2015 –Asuom, Ghana] — The weekend is behind us and through six separate ministry venues we have been able to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with combined crowds of 2,550 individuals.  Today all the schools are on holiday and thus prevent us from beginning our work on school campuses.  By God’s grace…

[Asuom, Ghana] Our team (Jeff Andler, Craig Barker, Mark Chase, James McLean, David West, and myself) arrived safely in Accra on Saturday at 0700(GMT) 19 September. We thank God that our flight from JFK was uneventful. After the typical activities necessary on arrival day–like exchanging currency and market shopping for the foods and supplies we…

[Accra, Ghana] It’s Saturday afternoon and we are back in Accra. It always encourages us and, as Jeff Andler quipped, “I feel like we are close to home when we get back here.” It’s true. After 25 trips to Ghana getting back to the Capital city feels like we are almost home. I want to…

[Abonse, Ghana] It’s Thursday afternoon here in Ghana as we near the end of this current ministry project. We have film crusades on Thursday and both schools and films planned for Friday. In all, we have presented the gospel in 121 different venues to an estimated audience in excess of 31,000 people. This is testimony…

[Akuni, Ghana] It’s Wednesday as I write this blog. I awoke around 4:45 this morning to the peaceful sound of rain pelting upon the roof. (I could hear this clearly because the electricity had gone off sometime during the night.) Although it is less than ideal when the power is out, it was a blessing…

[Adukrom, Ghana] It’s Tuesday in Ghana as I jot this note. Today saw some travel over some of the most rugged roads thus far on our project. From our guesthouse in Abonse we had to ascend to the ridge town of Adukrom for today’s ministry in various schools. The view from this place was spectacular,…

[Abonse, Ghana] It’s Monday evening as I write these lines. As expected we have very limited access to the Internet so getting the blogs to you is a challenge and getting any videos posted seems nearly impossible. I have so many videos to post to our website, but it might be as late as next…
