June 20th outreach



Good evening from the Ghana mission team! We are all worn out from the long day, but its a good feeling to exhaust yourself in service for the Lord. This morning we went to Kenyasi primary school, and JHS where we did two programs. I am constantly amazed at the children's response to what we share. They absolutely love the puppets, even the older groups, and when the choir starts singing in their language, their faces just light up! It is such a tremendous blessing to be a part of the work here in Ghana. 

 We came back to the house and had our team devotion led by Daniel. Today we read from Ephesians 2 and talked about God's amazing grace. We then piled onto the bus once again. So much of our time is spent on that bus that I believe we're getting quite fond of it. We are so thankful for a nice, comfortable vehicle with air conditioning! Our bus rides are very lively and filled with singing, laughter, and an occasional sleeper who is tired enough not be disturbed by the noise. Today the destination was the village of Adumasa where brother Joseph and sister Heather live. Heather fixed us a delicious lunch, and we enjoyed some wonderful fellowship together before heading out to evangelize. The Lord is constantly opening up doors for us to unexpectedly minister in schools that were not scheduled, and today was no different. We are becoming accustomed to Him changing our plans. After doing a program at Adumasa school, we split up and went around the entire village sharing the gospel and handing out tracks.  This is becoming my favorite part of the day! What a joy and privilege to be used by The Lord the share the good news with these people who so desperately need to know that salvation is through faith in Jesus Christ alone. This evening we helped with the kids club that brother Joseph runs for the children in Adumasa. There were probably about 200 children there. I wish you all could have heard all those children singing together. It gave me chill bumps! 

 We got home late tonight, and it has been a long day. Please continue to pray for the extra strength and stamina the team needs to carry on. We're endeavoring to pack in as much as we can during the short time we have here. There are souls at stake! We so appreciate all your support behind us as we seek to share God's love to the Ghanaian people.  
-Joanna for the whole team
