June 22nd...A Wonderful Day of Worshipping and Memorable Experiences


Wow!! It has been a very full and exciting day. Everyone woke up at about 7:00 A.M. this morning and got ready for church. We went to a church that Mr. Kodi’s church planted. The church was called, “La Nativity Presbyterian Church” and was absolutely wonderful. Mom sang and the church absolutely loved it. The congregation understood some English, but when Mom started singing “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” the entire congregation broke down. Later on in the service, Mr. Randy preached very well and received good feedback from the people. La Nativity Presbyterian Church definitely has the presence of the Lord surrounding it, and each one of the team members could feel it deeply. Leaving the church, we all went out to the La Palm resort for lunch. This is a very nice resort and we thought it would be nice to take Mr. Kodi, his wife, Mr. Sammy (our driver Ghana Health Services gave to us while we are here), Mr. Flavio (a man we met at the hotel from Brazil, who is helping bring more electricity and power to Ghana and who is getting some supplies for us to use at the clinic), and the rest of our team for a nice Sunday lunch. Lunch was wonderful and it was nice to have a full stomach. Next, the team split up because 5 of us wanted to go to a Ghana Football (Soccer) game. Dad, Grayson, Drew, Mamie, and I were able to get tickets. The Ghana Olympic Football team has been staying in our hotel for several days and I was able to get these tickets from one of the coaches. The game was so much fun and a “once in a lifetime” experience. This weekend has been so nice to just relax and recharge for our upcoming week. Tomorrow, we begin handing out legs and people start walking for the first time in their lives. This coming week is when people will begin Standing With Hope!! Talk to ya tomorrow and thank you again for all your wonderful support and prayers!!


Lord Bless,

Parker
