We've come this far by faith

Hey Everyone!

 

Our theme song for this mission all along has been the old spiritual, "We've Come This Far By Faith" (If you don't know it, I'll sing it for you when I get home - it's awesome).  That is the way we are feeling now as we pack to leave Kumasi for Peki.  The trip will be longer than the trip from Accra to Kumasi, but not as long as Peki to Cape Coast will be (we're making kind of a big "X" across the country).  When we traveled to Kumasi, we had a hymn sing, so I'm hoping we'll do the same on the trip to Peki.  Nothing stirs the spirit like music!  Even if we don't sing this time around, my mp3 player is loaded with enough Christian music to last half a day, so I'll be having worship on the way there in can any case.

 

I am personally very excited to be headed for Peki.  While getting a sense of the country and history is important, I am here to build a relationship with the people of Peki!  Besides, I've had about all the shopping that this amateur can take!  Peki will be amazing; already the people I have met from there have left me feeling blessed.  Sister Atawa will be waiting for us (she made most of the preparations for us), as will the twin drums that I've been dying to get my hands on since I asked Atawa to commission them to be crafted a month ago.  One drum will remain with the Peki church and one will come back with me to the US - so that when both are played, our hearts will beat as one across the Atlantic Ocean.  May our hearts always play in accordance with our Master's rhythm!  God is leading this mission; we pray that the people of Peki will be blessed by our presence, as we worship with our many gifts, one Spirit, to the God of us all.  To God be all the glory!  Amen!
