I’ve found the internet! Or at least a dial-up connection. The team arrived safety down into Legmoin after a day’s travelling on Friday. Four girls are in Anna’s house in the village and the rest are up in Jeremy’s house outside the village a bit beside the EPE Church. We have all settled in quick, life is a bit different than the city, the water has to be pumped, toilets (if you have one) don’t flush the best, and generally stuff takes longer to do. However the village and countryside are beautiful and the people are really welcoming.
Church, in particular, this morning was amazing, the worship was from the heart and there was a great sermon on prayer (after translation). During the service the team introduced themselves and we sung three songs, which all was well received. We also announced plans for the kid’s camp we plan to run on Wednesday and Thursday.
Yesterday we visited Legmoin village, stopping with the police, town hall, health facility and local blacksmith. It was humbling to see these people living their lives and doing so much with relevantly very little.
Tonight we will plan the Kid’s club for Wednesday & Thursday, painting on Monday and Tuesday and Pastor’s conference for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. We will be travelling back to the city all day Friday.
Prayer…
For team health, some are suffering with colds and sickness.
For the week ahead that God would be in all the work we do including the practical work, pastor conference and children’s work.
For the Dagara people, that God would move in their hearts and they would turn from African Traditional Religion with its false idols and fetishes to Jesus Christ.
praying for you all, especially for the sickness, glad you all arrived safely.you were mentioned specially in church again this morning gary, david spence isnt so far away from you guys.
have a really blessed week
