The trip is coming to an end. Today I was able to preach at the first village that we had served in. I was really hoping to find the boy that came to Christ and I did. The experience this morning was really amazing. We had a man come to Christ and we also prayed over a lady for healing. This trip has been such a blessing. For those of you that don’t know I almost didn’t go because of my Mom’s recent diagnoses with cancer. But God kept pushing me to go and I am so glad I did. There have been so many things that God has revealed to me this week. I would love to share those all with you but there is not enough room on this blog.
Have you ever been asked to pray for someone not evening knowing who it was? Well at youth group one of students had asked us to pray for a man named Phillip from Ghana. I never thought anything of it until God gave me the opportunity to meet that man and hear his testimony. God miraculously healed him from a disease he should have died from. Our God is still doing miracles and this clearly reminded me of it.
I just pray that as each of us returns home we can share our stories but most of all when souls for Christ back in the U.S. Because we were only here for 12 days and that leaves 353 days to win souls to Christ this year.
I want to leave you with a few more random facts that I have learned in Ghana!
1. Running is not something that Joseph likes to do.
2. Fu Fu is actually a meal in Ghana and Pizza is always served with rice balls.
3. It is finished is a very common phrase in Ghana which means you only get half of your change back.
4. Telling people you are crazy in Ghana is an insult, wish I would have learned that the first day instead of the last.
5. They sell 5 hour energy in the U.S. and in Ghana.
6. The word/name Pinballnaeshay may not be real but it may someday surpass Gandhi.
