A few members of the team have been able to get internet access while staying at Pastor Pat and Peggy's home, so we thought we would put a brief post on the blog.
Today was a true African experience for all the team members from African tribal dances to seeing poverty up close and personal. We participated in the Kushibo church commission services, which has been named Heritage Baptist Church. First, we met with the chief of Zugu who granted us permission to enter the village because Kushibo has not named the new chief yet. Then it was the start of the day's adventures. We arrived at Kushibo with a warm welcome from all the children who attached themselves to each and everyone of us. Each child grabbed on to all of our fingers. Cheryl Read helped cut the ribbon with Pastor Steven to enter the new church. The commission started off with wonderful Dagbani worship. Martin Jones entertained us all with his wonderful dance moves. We all soon followed after him.
On a serious note it was obvious to see the great spiritual and physical need of the people of Kushibo. The preacher's message was directed at the Muslim leaders in the village who were there at the service. Even though they were probably not Christians we know that a seed was planted.
Martin preached a wonderful sermon at Koinonia Baptist Church and Mary sang a beautiful song.
God is answering prayers and all of the members of the team are well. Please continue to pray for us and the Ghanaians we interact with.

It's wonderful to hear all your news. Following the prayer calendar is shaping the children's devotional time in an amazing way. So glad you had the opportunity to witness Martin dancing - he must be feeling at home there!
Praying for y'all continually,

Your friends at Sabine Creek are missing you and praying for you! Sounds like everything is going great. We will pray for great effectiveness for the Kingdom. Zach and Elizabeth, I heard you are keeping up with your staff Bible study. I hope it is a blessing and encouragement to you while you are there! Mary, I can't wait to hear you sing!

It sounds like God has used the team to touch the lives of many both you and the Ghanians. I have been praying daily for all of you. I wish I could have been at the village to see Moses and meet his family. God Bless all of You. See you when you get back.
