Dear friends, This is the first time I've been able to get to an internet cafe in several weeks. "First things first" is how the saying goes. For the past two weeks Hilda and I have had a house guest in the person of Michael, a Ghanaian Roman Catholic priest, who is in recovery from alcoholism through AA and sober now for 16 years. Together we have been translating some AA material into Twi and meeting with men and women in Kukurantumi who have addictions. We finished setting up our fourth library two weeks ago but expect the Ghana Library Board to send a truck to pick up some 10,000 books that we still have in our warehouse. We are in good health and looking forward to our return to the US on April 17-18th ( a 26 hour trip). We are also looking forward to celebrating Holy Week and Easter. It has been a full five months with many experiences, prayers, meetings. God is good. God is faithful and always loving. And it is true, the vision that I had five months ago arriving in Ghana to serve with love has been a continual challenge and a call to trust God for the love that I did not naturally feel or want to give; in as much as it came, it came from Him. That has been the truth in many cases. We look forward to seeing and hearing from you, have a blessed Easter/ Passover |
