We were sad to see the team from East Bernstadt leave. We pray that they will have a safe journey back home to their families and church. They did very well for the two weeks they stayed with us. Toby's impression of the team was humility. They didn't complain and always put others first. I know we all try to do that, but spending three nights sleeping on a concrete floor with no fan seems to wear people down. When the going got tough they pushed ahead. We knew they were tired, but they just kept on working. There were young and "not quite as young" on the team and we were surprised by what they could handle.
The team was also a great example for the the Parker boys and Seedlings that they spent time with. We were glad that Seth and Caleb could be around godly marriages and loving people. Everyone received a lot of valuable wisdom from each other.
The first picture shows Uriah, Seth, and Wumpini at a church dedication. They, along with Caleb, provided help and entertainment. (They also provided scapegoats for us to blame whenever we blew it.)
In the second picture some of the team is singing a song during the dedication.
The team's goal, and Seed Ministry's, was to come to Ghana and minister to the children. They wanted to enrich and encourage. They wanted to show love to the kids, but after two weeks we were the ones enriched and encouraged. We were shown love by the kids everywhere we went. If you have done missions before you know this is the way God works. You come to be a blessing, you go back blessed. Now that is "win, win".
