Dear co-workers, friends, and family,
The joy of having water at the clinic and the staff housing in Amakom on Lake
Bosomtwi is causing excitement. On Monday the 28th through the gifts of many we should have running water from the bore hole that was
drilled three years ago.
On the following week, on the 5th of February, we hope to move to this rural,
village setting where we have been preparing to serve for quite some time. |
In the last two months we have been working to get electricity working and renovations done in this
house where we will soon call home and another small house for interns and guests. |

Then, the next week, a team from Sylacauga, AL, USA is joining us and other
missionaries for a week of outreach and work.
It's an exciting time of transition. Our vision is expanding as we truly
begin to learn the way of life in the village, the needs of the people, and the ways that we can serve with His love. |
"For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of
the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will
still be standing firm." Ephesians 6:12-13
|
Pray for us to be able to reflect Jesus in this rural setting. It will be our lives rather
than our words that will have the greatest impact. Our actions must look like Jesus, not Western Christianity, money, or materialism. Stand
with us for victory and patience to learn how to share the message of Jesus in a culturally relevant way. |

Thank you for your desire to serve God through our family in Ghana.
Our God is powerful, always faithful, and is the one who is able to transform the hearts and
lives of cultures - in Ghana, America, Brazil, England, Ireland, EVERYWHERE!
We look forward to hearing from you,
To God be the glory, |

Put Your Boots On

from Brazil, then May another group to visit, June - August we will have interns, and 3 medical school students working along side
us. Start thinking ahead for next year - when can you come? Can you spend a year with us?
Praying for us is a
powerful way to work with us.
Support through giving and advocacy is a great way
