Tuesday was a BIG day. Quick re-cap after my last post Pastor Odai took us to the fishing village that we will be conducting medical clinic in today. The village is very, very poor. The pastor told us that we were the first missionaries to walk down these streets together, and serve this area. There is a very high concentration of voodoo in this area. We saw several of the voodoo priestesses. They weren't very friendly. We also saw the area where they worshiped 99 gods. Living conditions are deplorable. We expect that we will be treating many infections today. We prepared last night by organizing our meds into individual doses. The whole team was counting pills.......with Charlie as "management".
Charlie and Andrew preached last night. They were amazing. Two totally different styles, both equally inspiring. Six people came forward for Salvation and about 30 for healing. We learned that our friend the Brit, is a very talented preacher. We think that he should make a guest appearance at SHBC.
The youth conducted their own service in the finished pole barn we built last year. Chase took charge of the presentation. Clara and Chase gave their testimony, and the rest of the team answered questions from the youth. We have incrediable children, they have stepped up and spread the word of Christ with boldness.
Last night we were waiting for the missing bag from the airport. We got news that the airport did not to release the bag, it contained medicine and dental supplies. Milt lead us in prayer and about 30 min after, we were told the bag was released and ready to be picked up. God is good!
We are getting ready for breakfast. Please pray for spiritual and physical protection for all our team today as we treat patients in the fishing village and work with the micro-banking program.
Pastor Odai is having difficulty with his voice. Please pray for healing, strength and stamina. Pray that the Holy Spirit will move throughout our day and evening. There are many lost souls, we will be looking for opportunities to witness and pray for the people of Ghana. Pray for those who will preach and give their testimony tonight.
We love all of you and feel surrounded by your prayers.
God Bless all of you.
