Greetings from Kumasi, Ghana!

MaChee! (good morning) Well, if there is one thing we have learned about missions work - be flexible! We have already been hard at work building scaffolding and constructing the roof on the Amadum-Adankwame church building. Upon arriving here we found that we needed to rearrange out schedule to better accommodate the needs of the church over here. The days for our activities have been move around a bit so if you are praying for specific things, please use this schedule:

Tuesday (yesterday) Construction, The first Crusade begins - Sue preaching.
Wednesday - Construction, Medical Clinic start, Children's Ministry, second night of the first Crusade with the movie, The Passion of Christ" with commentary and preaching.
Thursday - Construction, Medical Clinics, etc. continue throughout the day. Last night of the first Crusade - Glenn bringing the message.
Friday we go to the second village and repeat the process (rather than starting the second one next Monday. The schedule change was because they needed the church to be fully planted by Sunday for dedication.
Saturday - Second day of Medical Clinics, Children's Ministry and the second night of this Crusade.
Sunday - Worship at Mim with the congregation that we worked with last year. Rest and then the last night of Crusades.
Monday through Wednesday - We continue the building construction - hopefully to completion!
Thursday will be our day off and travel down to the coast to be ready for our early Friday morning Flight.

So for yesterday:
We meet the pastor and many parishioners in Amadum-Adankwame Methodist church who came out to meet us and thank us for blessing them and answering their prayers. Making friends with lots of village children. They wore Karen and Sue out! They are also helping us to learn Twi so we can talk with them in their language. Building construction during the day for Tony and I. Hot sun but very productive! We are building trusses up on the roof (too large to construct on the ground and lift up two stories). That meant we had to build a scaffold work area and a way to move the trusses out into position as part of the process. Very primitive technique but effective. Yabua (my carpenter friend from last year is most excellent). We hope to upload some current pictures in the next day or two of what we are up to.

The Crusade was in "town square" last night. Much singing and dancing as we got started. Joseph and the District Superintendent introduced us and I introduced the team. Prayer and them Sue's message. Issac, a new Evangelist friend of Joseph was the translator and did a great job! Many came forward to be saved Praise God! All the children want to join in of course! We'll have numbers for the harvest each day sometime a little later as we gather all the details from the pastor and the praise team. More music and prayer and then back to the mission house for rest!

We stopped in at an internet cafe' this morning on the way to the site to leave this update. Thank to all of you that got the word late yesterday about the changes and prayed during the Crusade. Many were added to the book of life yesterday!

More later,
Glenn & the team
