Back in the U.S. and we are digging a Well!

Wow, two months...time flies. It was just the other day when I was writing the last blog entry about having 15 days until we leave for the U.S.

God is good, we have been busy since we arrived back in Richmond, Virginia. We did experience some loong delays in the airports on our way here but we arrived safely, praise God! The first two plus weeks we stayed at my parent's home until our house was ready to move back into.

We had chosen to rent our house out while we were in Ghana, not knowing how long we really were going to be in West Africa. Our teneants were gracious enough to vacate after almost one year and after some fresh paint and new carpet, which God totally provided, we are now back in. It feels good but it does not feel like "home" quite yet.

I miss my old bed in Ghana. It was funny at first because, when we moved back into our house here, we did not have hot water for the first week so we just did what we learned to do in Ghana and heat up water and pour it into a bucket and take a bucket bath!

many people continue to ask if we communicate with our pastoral team back in Ghana and the answer is YES...weekly! We love and miss them very much and pray for them often. My husband will be planning to leave for Ghana this fall to return and continue the work there for a couple of weeks.

The fund raising continues! We are planning for a couple of mega yardsales at our church at the end of the summer and fall. I also found out that "Chick Fillet" restaurant works with you to do fundraisers. If anyone out there is interested in helping us out with something like that please contact us, we must pay off the second portion of land in Ghana by the end of September, 2008 plus airline tickets etc.

Money has come in recently from a precious donor to excavate for a well on the church property in Ghana! Can you imagine, people from the nearby town and neighborhoods coming to New Life Global Outreach to get FREE water! What an opportunity we have to reach out to more lost souls for Jesus Christ and what better place to fetch for clean, fresh, drinking water than at the House of God!
