Homecomings

Toby, Joy, Seth and Caleb are safely back in Missouri!

They had a wonderful few days in Washington DC and are very much enjoying getting acclimated again to Walmart, Kroger, Fast Foods and Fountain Drinks. Not to mention a steady supply of electricity and water!

Jonathan’s adoption process has been APPROVED and it is official.

Jonathan Parker Nagy

will be coming to the US in about 10 days or so when his passport is finalized.

 

How awesome is our God!

Jeremiah 29:11-14

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

I don’t really think that God ‘exiled’ either of these families to Ghana but how FAITHFUL He is to take them there and bring them back safely.

Parting Ways

Well our time has come to an end here in Ghana, at least for now. What a wonderful year and a half it has been.

We are in Accra waiting to fly out soon to the U.S. As a family, the past few days have been a time of reflection and rest.

The Lord has amazed us through what He has done for the people of Ghana through Seed Ministry.

One consistent blessing has been the many good Christian men and women we have met. We were treated well by the staff at Seed Ministry as we carried on the work. Saying goodbye to those people was the hardest part.  We shed many tears (we even saw the precious ladies crying) when we met with Emmanuel, Thomas, John, Gladys and Ajua for the last time! We prayed for their continuing strength in the ministry.

Another way the Lord has amazed us is through the work of the local church and the pastors that are so close to Seed Ministry. Many pastors visited us in the last week we were in Tamale. Many grieved with us as we said goodbye. One pastor that came to pray over our family voiced all our concerns to the Lord, even though we had not shared any of them with him about our new life in the States.  This was a tremendous blessing to us! Even many Bible Club Area Coordinators, Zone Leaders and Bible Club Leaders and Helpers visited or called us to tell us a sad goodbye. God has blessed Seed Ministry with wonderful people to do the work!

As the plane flew higher in the air above Tamale on our way to Accra, we looked out the window to view the city for the last time. Joy cried saying, "I love those people that the Lord had placed in our path!".

So as we say goodbye to this part of our work with Seed Ministry, we ask that you pray for these things:

1) Pray for Rev. Bob and Bonnie as they continue to work for Seed Ministry.

2) Pray for our family as we transition into the U.S. from being in a foreign land.

3) Pray as we share in churches and that many would see the importance of the work!

4) Pray for our family as we move to a different place and all that that entails.

We want to say Thank You to all the wonderful people that we have met through Seed Ministry!

THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AT SEED MINISTRY: For taking such good care of our family while in Ghana.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEAMS AND VISITORS: For all the love you have shown our family! Each individual we have met are gifted by God with different gifts, and each person has been a huge encouragement to our boys and us! We enjoy reminiscing about the good times we had with each and every one of you as we went out to the various villages to share about the love of Jesus.

THANK YOU TO THE BOARD OF SEED MINISTRY: For giving us the opportunity to bring our family to Ghana to learn more about Christ and how He works in all the world to show Himself to all the nations.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE ONES WHO HAVE SUPPORTED US, PRAYFULLY AND FINANCIALLY!
