Day 4 Serving in Sunyani

Mark 10:15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.

We all rested well after yesterday's exciting day. An oatmeal, poached eggs, and toast breakfast woke us up before we headed out for Sunyani, a two hour drive from Kumasi, the smoothest day of travel yet. On the ride Uncle Kwame gave us another orientation session, particularly related to questions Ghanian youth ask when they are presented with the gospel message.

We spent the afternoon at Sunyani Secondary School where approximately 1500 students attend (co-Ed ages 14-19). After Pastor Casely introduced the team, Dan S. shared his testimony and Melody presented the gospel based on Luke 15:11-31 (Parable of the Lost Son).  Uncle Kwame then

encouraged students to respond to the love of the Father and Jesus' knocking on the door (Rev 3:20). 16 students stepped forward to dedicate their lives to Christ, and the team then spent individual time welcoming the students to our family and encouraging them as they began or continue their walk with Jesus.

After eating dinner, Dan G. led the team in a brief devotion and time of prayer and reflection. It was a very encouraging time for every individual and deepened relationships that have been built over the first few days.

One of the unsung heroes of the trip is Comfort, the female leader SU provided to join our team for our time in country. She is wonderfully accepting and joyful of our differences and provides guidance as we experience new encounters in a different culture.

Comfort, SU staff and Amazing lady!

We go to visit two more schools tomorrow (Tuesday) and invite you to pray for hearts of the youth to be warm and receptive to the message The Lord will speak through our team.
