Final Days in Ghana by Todd

It is a bittersweet time for the team as we wrap up our work here and make the journey home. The people have been most gracious and the work has gone well. The few setbacks we had were overcome in thanks to large part by the flexibility and perseverance of the team. Our guiding principle has been "GO WITH THE FLOW"! Right now we continue to pray, process and reflect on the great needs around us and the belief that God has called us as a congregation to become engaged with the people here. We are in the idea stage right now and will begin planning and communicating about next steps after we return. But for the next three days we savor our time here and thank God for the opportunity. I am reminded that Jesus taught that we are to focus on today and not get wrapped up in what is to come. For God works in the current moment and if we are too caught up in the moments to come we just might miss God's plan for us and our ability to be of service to others. And so we will stay in the moment and see what else God has in store. Have a great Monday! Please keep praying. Todd
