Day 41 Week 6

(February 18, 2009)

I safely made it back to Tema yesterday at around 3:00. That is adventure in itself! My stay in the Nkwanta area has just completed after about a month stay. I have learned some much and God has used me be there guiding me every step of the way. I know that it has been God speaking through me and it is grace and love that I feel outpouring through me. He is truly an amazing God who cares for the hurt, lost, and the faithful! This has been a great month and it has gone by extremely quick.
I feel that the hardest times for me in this stay was when I went into some of the other villages to meet and speak to the church. With some of the churches, I did not feel much receptiveness. It has been hard from preaching and teaching at the church at the location that I am actually staying at, be so interactive, to go to some of these churches that in the end they just stare at you. I initially if my visit was even worth it for them, but I also know that God will be the one to take care of the message that He delivered. I also feel that it is the fact that I just had met them earlier in the day and then gave this message in which I left the following morning. There definitely lacks a personal connection with the members of the church, which makes it harder to receive the message when you do not relate with the person giving the message. God will ultimately deliver the message and develop it within each of His hears, but as the vessel delivering it can be somewhat discouraging especially when I am battling with confidence and assurance. All in all God has been terrific and blessed me more than I deserve or could ask for.
I am finally catching up on my emails for I am going to be leaving again for another ten days. God is literally moving all across Ghana!
