Day 62 Week 9

The last couple of days have been very good. Sunday went well as I meet the congregation and delivered the communion meditation. The service went well and everyone was very welcoming, this is a consistent theme everywhere I go. After Church Pastor Ntim and I went to families homes to see how they are doing and encourage them to make to come to the churches events throughout the week if they were not involved. I really enjoy the visitations for you learn more about the members of your congregation, and plus it makes your relationship more personal.
Monday began with a brief visitation to the academy in the morning where I spoke with some of the teachers as well as observed the children in school. This was very good to see the students learning a lot verses the way I saw school being conducted in the villages. The afternoon Pastor Ntim and I went out again to make more visitations that included a few members who had been absent for a little while and the cause for not coming was from sickness. With this, I prayed for the health and relationship of the family. Monday night I spoke to the Women’s Fellowship and was very well received. The message that was delivered seemed to connect well with them and I know it was God speaking through me because it was women!!! Plus I am not married and so I have a very limited amount of wisdom concerning women, but God provides where we are unable.
Tuesday I had the luxury of spending the day at Ghana Christian University College. It was very nice to see a similar set up as most of the Christian Colleges in America. They are doing very well and the college has some prestigious professors. The students seem to work very hard, but they are still young and so the same time management skills are applied (procrastination). They have a big vision and I will be excited to see and hear about it when they get to their temporary goal. That evening I led the Bible Study from the Philippians Chapter 2. It was very interesting to hear the reactions of those who attended. They, after some time, began to have some very good thoughts and encouragement towards one another.
Today I was back at the academy in the morning where I sat in on every one of the classes for a little bit. Here I interacted with the students and tried to help the teachers out in classroom. I love working with kids, but it was a different game when it comes to teaching them. I have developed more patience and learnt that if one way of teaching does not work then you must find the one that does, and this might take some time. Overall, I had a great morning and they taught me more than I taught them. Then tonight I spoke to the youth; I love the youth so much! They just have a very passionate heart and a wiliness to push themselves! The worship time was very intense and I found myself in the middle of dance workout routine. Out of breath and all I delivered a message to the youth. They really took to heart what was said to them and I pray that they begin to act. This group has so much potential to be examples to the church and community!
I have been very busy, but once again, it is with great opportunities. I look forward to some rest, but my schedule is very busy so I will rest in Christ and in the work for Him.
