Good morning to everybody back home. And yes, we did skip posting on day 10. Well today is our last day here in Ghana. It’s a little after 2pm here and in a few hours will be at the airport preparing for our flight home. It’s been an amazing trip, it’s been a blessing and an adventure. It’s hard to say goodbye but looking forward to being back home with family and friends.
Yesterday was a day of sightseeing as Senyo took us to the Cape Coast. It’s approximately a 3.5 hour drive from Accra. We traveled to the Elmina Slave Castle where we learned its place in world history.
After touring the Castle, it was back in the van for a drive over to Kakum National Park where we had the opportunity to stretch our legs and take a hike. We’re not quite use to the climate for that kind of activity, somehow, we survived. It was a beautiful experience though.
Now this morning we have checked out of the hotel, loaded the luggage and ourselves into the van and are off to see some of the sights of Accra, the capital city of Ghana.
We are asking you to lift us up in prayer, seeking the Lord’s favor over us as we travel home. And safe passage for Senyo, his son Aaron, daughter Jessica and the driver of van as they will make their way home after seeing us off tonight. Continue praying over the children who attended the retreat and all of the volunteers who made it happen. Lift up the rural communities and their churches. Lord willing, we will be safely back on the ground in Phoenix around 9:30 am Wednesday morning.
