Dear Friends & Family,
I want to thank you so very much for your financial and/or prayer support for my recent mission trip to Ghana. God was very good to us on our travels! We were so thankful to be all safe, healthy, and in good spirits for the duration of the trip. Because of your contribution, we were able to teach, encourage, and love the girls at the Pearl House. We were able to buy school supplies, gifts, and crafts. We were able to teach in villages, distribute mosquito nets, and experience a corner of the world that most of us had never seen. It was awesome! Thank you for your help!!!
After months of preparing for this trip to The Pearl House, it was such a joy to meet the Pearls! From the first moments with them at their school to the hours we spent playing, crafting, eating, worshipping, and praying with them at their house, we were filled with joy and awe. It is true that the Holy Spirit is at work in and through His people! At The Pearl House, we were delighted to see so much good fruit of the Spirit! These girls have come from darkness, poverty, oppression, hunger, and vulnerability. This is not God’s will for them, or anyone. By His Spirit at work in people all around the world, these girls are receiving abundant life—truth, grace, nourishment, protection, hope, community, and love! They are provided for in every way and absolutely glow with joy, peace, and love. Worshiping and praying with them was beautiful. These girls love God and know that He is for them and has big plans for their lives!
At the end of our time together, the Pearls prayed over our group. As was true of the entire trip, this was very humbling. These sweet young women prayed that we would be filled up “double double” for all that we had given up or lost in coming over to be with them. My goodness. I gave up so little compared to all that I received in being there!
I want to deeply thank you for your generosity!! I could not have done this trip without your financial and prayer support. Thank you! May God fill YOU up “double double” for the gift you gave to me!
“May the grace of Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and forever. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives and we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. Amen.” AMEN!
