The only other pre-planed ministry we had in Ghana was to visit and pray at several slave castles. We ended up only visiting two over the duration of our time in Ghana, but both were powerful visits. Facing the reality of the horrible things that took place at these castles was very humbling for all of us. Since one of the main focuses of our mission to Ghana was reconciliation/justice we felt it was important to pray at these locations where so much injustice happened.
Several of us, upon simply arriving at these locations, felt nauseous and sick to the stomach. There was clearly a heavy presence at these castles, but battling that presence was ultimately the reason why we were there.
(hopefully I can get some pictures of these castles soon, but without pictures it is really hard to explain just what these slave castles were like to visit)
