Saying Goodbye
On Sunday we said goodbye to our friends in Wa. In typical Ghanaian style, this required spending about 10 hours and taking about 50 photographs. First, we publicly brought greetings from First Baptist Church of Gainesville and said farewell to the God's Glory Baptist Church. Later in the afternoon we visited the homes of many friends and prayed with each of them. Finally, we visited a pastor to donate our possessions for the orphanage. We also entrusted some funds to the care of the church, for use in missions other kingdom work.

Accra
On Monday we made the 12-hour drive from Wa to Accra, the capitol of Ghana. Tuesday we visited the University of Ghana at Legon and met with a friend to explore downtown Accra. The main mode of transportation in the city is the "trotro", a crowded van-taxi. As you can see, Accra is quite a bustling place.

Home
On Wednesday we caught our plane from Accra and eventually landed in Orlando, Florida, after traveling for more than 24 hours! We are thankful the Lord granted us safety in our travels and are glad to have a few weeks to visit family. We plan to return to Gainesville on Wednesday, August 19th.

Speaking
For the next two weeks we will visit family throughout central Florida. We have already been invited by several churches in the area to speak on missions and share the wonderful news of what God is doing in northern Ghana. Praise the Lord! Please pray that we will be able to effectively communicate what we have witnessed in a way that inspires others to be on mission with the Lord!
