Hi everyone!  It has been another long day here in Accra, Ghana!  We have been diligently working to disciple and share Christ!  First let me say that we so greatly appreciate all of your prayers and encouragement- we are hearing from many of you and we know that though you many not be here with us physically, you are with us spiritually!  Let me tell you how things are working here: We have split the team in three parts 1: Myself, Melissa Jones, and Daniel Wilson. 2. Shell Ann Ondish, Marc King, and Cynthia Caulkin, 3. Pastor Jimmie Suggs, BrendaBarker, and Jay shafto (an american missionary from our church). We are all over the city in these “pods” walking, saying hi, and sharing small bits of why we are here as well as (when the opportunity presents itself) stories of Christs life, love, and purpose on earth and through his powerful death. Mostly, the last two days have been primarily spent on making contact with those that we have met with in the past trips as well as letting everyone know that we are back in the area. This city is SOOOOO complex and has so many roads and alleyways, but we are doing our best to cover as much territory as we can without stopping the holy spirit from working in and through us.  Today, my team left the safehouse around 10:30 and we were out until 5pm or so….it was a very long and hot day!  We first met at a place called “Hot Coffee”- where men do not simply drink hot coffee, but they debate the messages of the Quran and so on. It is what we would call a “men’s club” in america- minus any women at all. These are very devout muslims and they invited us in this morning. We had a wonderful opportunity to share some good news with them- though they were tough in accepting any of it they still listened! It was very VERY exciting to just sit and listen and watch as Daniel so carefully shared what Christ meant for us as Christians and what He could mean for the people of Accra. We then traveled to meet up with a Bissa Chief who has been very open to us sharing the gospel with his people. We will be sharing a jesus movie later on this week for his people.  This is a very big deal because he states that the Bissa people who are predominantly muslim are very interested in hearing more about ”this story of Jesus.”  We left there and talked to some women and children in a few courtyards- but the most exciting part was that I met some girls who were only 16 and made an appointment for tomorrow with them to sit and talk about the message that Christ brings as well as tell them some stories.  It is quite incredible how God divinely appoints for us to meet certain individuals.  As soon as I saw them, they were smiling about and invited me over. I knew that they could only be about 14-18yrs which is just up my alley! When they expressed that they were all only 16yrs old I was so excited.  Many of my prayers have been that God would put me with just the right people to be able to encourage them.  Being that I have worked with student ministry for a few years and my passion is for young ladies to be equipped, this was perfect!  The work that I have been doing in America is definitley opening up doors while here in Ghana!  Because we were headed in many places for the day, I had to make this appointment for tomorrow at 2pm- they promised to bring friends and were very excited!  I am as well! 

Overall, it has been a very full day- we are beginning to wind things down here and start on getting some sleep.  Tomorrow I promise to have a video up for all of you to see- because of the internet here, again it is very slow in loading and can take up to hours!  love you all!
