Today the team went on an excursion to Cape Coast, which is at the southernmost part of Ghana. It was a 2 1/2 hr drive, which meant a good introduction to the culture for our 4 "new to Ghana" team members Chris, Beverly, Fiona and Judith.
We toured a slave castle in Cape Coast and then ate lunch at a local chop bar (restaurant). On our way back, we pulled over and dipped our feet in the ocean. Chris decided not to take off his shoes and join the fun, so when he wasn't looking, the tide rushed in and soaked him good. Colton and I thought it was much funnier than he did.
We also stopped on the roadside and ate freshly chopped pineapple. Cape Coast is known for their pineapples. They are almost white inside and have a subtle sweet flavor. It cost less than $1.50 for 5 pineapples.
We fly to Tamale at 6:00am tomorrow, so pray for a safe journey. Tomorrow night we are going into Wyumba, a village without Jesus, to show The Hope video. We will be with IMB missionaries, Pat and Peggy Ozment. Rev. Pat has been to see the chief and received permission for us to tell the people about Jesus. These people are lost and without hope. You know how to pray.
Thank you all so much for your encouragement and prayers. We can feel them already. Everyone is doing well, just a little jet lagged.

God has brought together a small team of eight (incl. Pat and Peggy) to do a work in a village that has been written off by everybody.....that is, everybody apart from satan. You are in our prayers and we will be battling prayerfully for you over the next week. Remember, the One who is in you is greater than the One who is in the world (1 John 4:4). The war is over (John 19:30)...but there are battles still left for us to fight. This is the spiritual battle God has called you to, yet you do not fight it alone (2 Chron 20:15-17).
Martin, Nathan and Olivia (and a host of heavenly angels who go, and wage war, with you!)
