After what seemed to be a days journey, 23 hours to be exact, the first team has arrived in Kumasi after spending our first night in Africa at a Guest House in Accra, Ghana. An early morning taxi ride and 35 minute flight later we found ourselves reunited with Joseph and Stella Otsin and one of our favorite people on the planet, Francis, who will be driving us around for the next few days.
We spent the day sightseeing in Kumasi by visiting the Cultural Center and snagging a few gifts and then we visited the world's largest open air market where the goal was to simply not lose any of our team. And in our spare time we visited briefly with the Methodist Bishop in Ghana and two of his senior leaders. All in all a great first day acclimating to our new surroundings.
At debriefing tonight, the team talked about how gracious the people of Ghana are and how great the need seems to be everywhere we turned today.
We are so thankful for your prayers and you letters of encouragement! Please pray as the second team leaves tomorrow (Wednesday) evening and will be on the ground in Kumasi on Friday. We do have limited internet access, so things may seem a bit slow. But we are hopeful of getting greater access to be able to upload pictures.
Yours in Christ,
Bob Duncan, Casey Gooding, Vicki Lanham, Joe Thomas, Richard Thomas and Todd Nelson
