Ghana: Churches

    The second biggest ministry we did in Ghana was to speak at and work with local churches. Every Sunday, we would attend (and possibly speak at) a church. With the exception of two churches, which we visited twice, we visited a different church every week. If we were to teach there, we would pray about who should speak and/or give a testimony, and then he or she would give a message to the church. This was one of the most stretching experiences for me. Attending these churches was stretching in and of itself, as they were very charismatic, but the opportunity to speak at them was an opportunity I was glad to have. Within most of these churches, there was a lot of materialism and religious tradition with no true understanding behind it. Through our testimonies we were able challenge many people to really walk out their faith beyond the walls of the church.

    Also, through connecting with some of these churches, we were able to join alongside their existing ministries. For example, there were two churches with which we did street and door-to-door evangelism. This was another awesome experience that I was glad to have. Door-to-door in Ghana could not have been more different from door-to-door in the States or in the U.K.. In Ghana, you knocked on a door and before you got a chance to say your name you had been invited inside, been given a place to sit, and possibly been given something to drink. It was a great experience to share my faith, or even just to encourage somebody through a visit. This something I hope to continue to do now that I have more experience with it.

    I hope the past several blogs have given you a taste of what we did in Ghana. It is impossible to totally describe how we impacted Ghana and how Ghana impacted us as a team, but I hope this gives you some Idea.

Again, thank you for all the pray you guys supported us with while we were there.
