Welcome to Bay Area Community Church's Ghana Team 2013 Blog! In our blog we hope to share with you our short term mission trip (journey) to Ghana, Africa in a way that Glorifies God. Our team of 7 individuals will come together to serve in ministry with Scripture Union to reach the youth of Ghana. During our preparation and team building meetings we explore serving as "going on a treasure hunt." We are committed as a team to participate in discovering treasures...treasures that have previously been hidden from our eyes. We have great expectations of a Great God to open our eyes to find treasures of how He is at work in a different culture.
If you are reading this blog, it's probably because you have a connection with BACC and/or with one of our 7 members. And, you (family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, classmates, teammates, others) are most likely reading because you have a vested interest in our short term mission trip to Ghana. To you we collectively say THANK YOU!!!! We are humbled and grateful for your support in all the forms in which it has been given: prayer support, financial support, affirmation and encouragement, travel advice and information, the list goes on and on. We appreciate you and we hope that you will be encouraged by our blog.
As of this first blog entry, the count down to departure is 1 week, 2 days. (We leave Aug. 1 and return Aug. 11)
In preparation for our trip, if our team comes to your mind and heart we ask that you join us in praying for safety(physical, emotional, and spiritual) and pray for us to engage in the treasure hunt by...
- walking with humility
- embracing affirmation
- living with vulnerability
- practicing flexibility
- living as students
- working as servants
- speaking as storytellers
In Him,
The Ghana Team 2013
Praying for you guys!
