Blessings in Bosomtwe & Beyond: Friends showing love

It was truly moving as Juliana gave a wonderful message of love and hope to the staff and construction workers on Wednesday morning. They heard the news that we are leaving the work here and moving on. Many cried, hugged us tightly, and grieved with deep, heart-felt sorrow.

The new building, ambulance entrance side showing in the picture, is now about 85% complete. A LOT has been done in the last few days even so that this picture looks old.

We have seen God move in our time here. Over three years in Ghana. The workers on the project have been working hard and have participated in building a dream - from a small clinic to now a small hospital that will be a 30 bed capacity facility.

We praise God for the friendships made, and the partners that have given so generously to make it all happen. Praise God! I still have a lot to do before we leave Ghana. The building will be moving rapidly forward to completion. The money given for bore holes/wells for villages that don't have water has been transferred to the Ghana Water Project of The Mission Society, which is led by Mary Kay Jackson, based in Accra. Water is a wonderful gift that I really can't find words to describe the deep, life-changing impact that these gifts will do for all the families in these villages. Thank you to so many people that give so willingly to help us in sharing the love of Jesus here in Ghana. Thank you!

The project manager on the construction of the 'doctor bungalow', our house (pictured in the background behind Luiza), the new staff house, the rebuilt old doctor bungalow, the outpatient clinic, the office, and the new Inpatient Care Centre is Michael Bentum, who is shown here with Luiza.

Today I spent hours with him going over building progress, receipts, plans, task lists, and projections. Pray for him through this time especially as he is seeking God about his next step of where to live and work as he serves God in missions.
