Good news we have the cost for the container that we have to pay at customs. We have sent the money and are awaiting news to see when we can move it. This has been very long and challenging experience working with customs. Next we will have to pray for the boats that they can […]

Sunday Service

Filed under: News Updates @ 3:03 pm and

  We were invited to the Pentecostal English speaking church service by Oksana, the Russian linguist. She explained that westerners are expected to do the message whenever they visit. I decided to do my testimony along with my favorite scriptures (Proverbs 3:5-6 and Matthew 22: 34-40.) and finished with the trinity juggling routine. I made […]

After we finished the motorcycle repair workshop, two of my students took Theresa and I on a personally guided excursion of all of the beaches of Kete Krache. We drove motorcycles on and off road. I have my international driver’s license; however the locals say that driving licenses are not required! We went to the […]

My Secret Weapon

I played 4 years of soccer in Madison High School, this ended in 1980 when Theresa and I graduated. Being left handed, I usually played left wing. I am a serious lefty; I eat with my left hand, squint with my left eye, kick with my left foot and so forth.  Misfits like me must […]

Ghana Day 7

Filed under: News Updates @ 4:49 pm and

July 8th Joe is so excited, he has been given the privilege to work with the local garage, seeing how the mechanics fix cars in Ghana.  The technology hasn’t made it here; they fix brakes and clutches like they did in the 50’s. Joe tried to teach them about safety from asbestos. They didn’t even […]

The Children of Ghana

Filed under: News Updates @ 3:21 pm and

As we drove to Kete-Krache, we saw two boys filling potholes in the road. They were carrying buckets of dirt on their heads and dumping the dirt into the potholes. This was done all by hand, no shovels or rakes etc. Our Ghanaian driver @60mph threw a couple coins out the window as payment and […]
