United and Holy

Our whole team celebrated our last full day together by worshiping in the pavilion team one built, teaching the Word to the village children, and playing Frisbee with the kids in Bedasse.   God's blessings and provision were abundant in the village -where resources were scarce, smiles were abundant, where rooms were small, hugs were big, where the ground was dirty and the water unsafe, the clothes were clean and the arms were welcoming.

In our team debriefing we all talked about what it would mean to live in community the way the villagers of Bedasse live -in a place where we all rely on each other and fellowship together.  Joe lifted all of our spirits by sharing how in his experience of spending the week with us and hearing our stories, that we, our FUMC Andover community, do have a sense of community, just with an American twist.

We are all so thankful for you and for your prayers and we look forward to coming home and sharing with you what the people of Ghana have taught us about being united and holy as our own community continues to grow in unity and holiness.

Blessings to all!
