Malaria and Praises

Installing the Galenshegu Water Tank
What a wonderfully strange week we have had. The bad part of the week was that Steve, Bob and I all had malaria. Praise God for His healing through modern medicine that we are all three back 100%!
      Yet, even with that, ministry continued. Jesse and the two pastors were able to complete the recording of the God Story in their language, Steve still managed to make it to class to teach, and South Fork Team arrived.
      Of course, about one hour before they arrived our water went off. Then when they did arrive and walk into the house, the electricity went off. But they are troopers! Even with this somewhat stilted arrival after the long, hard drive, they were pumped and ready to start their ministry.
      And what a ministry it was! They visited schools and went into villages for a variety of ministries with children and adults. On Saturday they went to Galenshegu, Gua and Kpendua for these same ministries followed by Crusades that evening. They then spent the night in the village and worshipped with them on Sunday followed by a baptism at the river.
      It is always amazing the way God blesses us. It is hard to know who is doing the ministry and who is being ministered to. His ways are truly too incredible to comprehend.
      Another praise is about our staff and Seedlings. They did a great job taking care of the team. Even though Bob and I would have liked to be able to give out a little more TLC ourselves, the guys and gals simply took care of everything.
      Now we are on the way back to Accra with the team. It’s always hard to put friends on the plane and send them home, but we praise God for them and their ministries. Please pray for their safe journey back to their families.
