Friday June 22^nd

O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder

Consider all the works thy hands have made…

Then sings my soul my savior God to thee,

How great thou art!

Team members could not help but burst into songs of worship as we woke to the beautiful eastern sunrise, the palms waving in the breeze and the smell of the fresh, unpolluted air coming in from the ocean.

Our stay at the Stumble Inn, Cape Coast  was an experience we would not forget.  The environment was as natural as possible. The buildings were constructed to blend in with the natural surroundings.  The glory of God’s creation was evident all around us.

We left early that morning to visit the Kakum Park natural forest where we enjoyed the wonders of the tropical forest. The challenge was to walk across a rope path over the forest canopy to observe the flora and fauna. It was a sight to behold.  For those like the writer who were not comfortable with extreme heights it was indeed a test of faith to rely on God’s protection in practical things.  We were reminded that God did not give us a spirit of fear. 

The opportunity for evangelism was ever present.  Literature was distributed to the hundreds of park attendees who were encountered along the trail and conversations relating to salvation were held with park attendants.  We thank God for the freedom to do such a work.

The team enjoyed fellowship in the waters of the Elmina coastal area and later around a roaring camp fire. During these times team members had the opportunity to witness to the artisans who came by to display their goods.

We are drawing to the end of our short term mission.  Please continue to pray for the team as fatigue sets in and individuals’ natural resistance to illness is consequently lowered.
