Today was the last day in Tamale for 12 of the 20 team members. They spent the morning at the local cultural center (market) and then went to visit a private orphan home called Hands of Mercy. Several of the team members had been serving at Hands of Mercy during the last two weeks.
Taylor and Stephanie have such a heart for the orphans here and they both spent their day holding babies at Anfaani Children's Home. Anfaani houses orphans from birth to age 2. This is the orphan home that IHH helps sponsor. Currently, there are 3 children who need to be sponsored. Two are newborn twin boys. In this culture, sometimes twins are seen as evil and are outcast from the village. Contact http://www.hopeheritage.org/ if you are interested in sponsorship.
Pastor Mohammed and Elisha joined us for dinner and we had a wonderful time of sharing and a few sad good-byes.
It was heartwarming to hear how lives (American and Ghanaian) have been touched during the last few weeks.
We thank God for the opportunity to serve Him in this way and we continually pray that He is glorified in everything we do.
Please continue to pray for those who are returning to the States as they begin to process everything they experienced and as they begin to seek God's plan for what He would have them do with all of this. This can be extremely overwhelming, especially for the first timers.
Also, some of you might to begin praying about joining one of our teams next year. The mission is always the same: go tell people about Jesus
