When we went to Galenshegu to spend time with the children Mrs. Candy made fast friends with some of the children. In Ghana, a piece of candy is called toffee. So when we introduced Mrs. Candy to Pastor Abraham he said, "Oh, the children will like you." (This has also earned her the nickname "Toffee"). In the first picture Pastor James is introducing Mrs. Candy to his daughter Matilda. Matilda stuck with Candy for the rest of our time there.
In the second picture you can see Mrs. Connie introducing the children to her friend, Jesus. She explained our sin and God's remedy. Jesus said that you have to have the faith of a child to enter His Kingdom and we saw that played out in the village. Although she did not know Mrs. Candy well, Matilda stayed very close to her. When a lost person will come to Jesus, trust Him, and follow Him (stay close to Him), then God will accept them as His child.
These two ladies, along with the rest of the East Bernstadt team, are doing amazing things in the lives of the children in Ghana.
