Two weeks until lift off!

Well, in about 2 weeks we will be off to Ghana. I still have a lot to do. I have my malaria meds and all my shots taken care of. I need to get by Good Will to purchase 14 sets of clothes to wear on the trip. We wear our clothes, wash them and leave them with Ghanaians who need them. This way, our pack gets lighter as we go. This happens with snacks, too. I'll bring plenty of Granola Bars to eat and share. Ted says we will be eating whatever we find on the way. We are not taking food or our usual cook this time. So, whatever the locals eat, we eat. (or I eat Granola).

I have my passport and visa ready to go. I am working on sermons and lessons that I will be preaching. The Ghanaians "soak up" the Word! It takes a few minutes to get the hang of preaching with a translator, but when you start clicking, it's awesome! Then people respond to the Word, and it's Totally Awesome! I'm really looking forward to doing a lot of personal work, too.

We will be doing some construction on church buildings, and will put on a medical clinic at least one day.

I'm still raising funds for the trip. We have our plane tickets paid for but are still trying to get enough support to travel, build, and do a lot of benevolence. I'm sure God will provide.

That's all for now. Thanks to all who are praying and/or have helped $upport us!
In Him, tim
