The first 10 days here in Ghana have been a whirlwind! I've been to see orphan children in both Accra and Cape Coast, was blessed to share in my new friend Nana Kofi's graduation from the University of Ghana, and even spent a couple days living in a village. I'm now at the Cape Coast School for the deaf and will stay for the next couple days.
The kids at the school are amazing! The first evening there I managed to learn the sign language alphabet, and a number of basic signs to communicate. The kids were so enthusiastic helping me learn! I was also blessed to meet a group of four Americans from Friends of Cape Deaf; today we helped clean up a local hospital and then went for a quick dip in the ocean, which was across the road.
Next week week I'll be settling into the St. Peter's Mission school on the north side of Accra. I'm looking forward to teaching there and helping with the children.
Thank you so much for your prayers...there's more to come I can't even fathom! God is truly great!
Josh, I'm sorry to hear that things are awkward with the pastor, but I'm encouraged by your wisdom and discernment. Praying that for you to be in the absolute center of God's will and that he will continue to reveal truths to you!
ReplyDeleteJosh, I'm encouraged that you seem to be growing in your ability to teach & learn from the people you are working with. I know God's growing you in ways that make Him smile :-) Looking forward to hearing more of your fun stories!
