Arrival in Accra

We have arrived safely in Accra. The journey was very smooth, praise God. Thank you for praying.

We brought Pastor Mohammed back with us on the plane.

Tomorrow we visit Agbogbloshie, a Dagbani village near Accra. This is the first village Vickie and I went to 5 years ago. We will go there to see old friends, but also to pray with and encourage them.

After that, we visit the cultural center (market).

After that, we go to see Pastor Moses at All Souls Baptist Church. This also happens to be a site visit for Compassion International.

We depart Mon at 10:30pm, (ghanaian time). Please pray for a safe journey and rest. We arrive home Tues around 2:30pm.

The kids are having great fun this afternoon. It is Martin's birthday and they want to secretly decorate his room. The only thing we have is toilet paper, so we will see what happens. We have found out that he loves country and western music, so maybe we will sing him a song, Texas style.

Everyone is happy and well. The team has really bonded. Upon arrival to the Miklin, instead of going to our rooms for peace and quiet, we all sat around and talked for over 2 hours.

I am encouraging all the team members to post comments and updates on the blog in the days to come, so check back often.

We are anxious to be home, but sad to leave.

Blessings, Cheryl Read
