Incredible Evening

This evening I met with Godson and Mawuko.

As of the 19th of April, (or thereabouts), Godson will be a full-time missionary with E3 Ministries International <-- A long name that simply means being faithful followers of Jesus. Godson's primary focus will be on ministering to children through sports, games and activities.

Mawuko could soon be joining the ministry full-time as well. This remains to be seen.

But the Incredible-ness came about in listening to the dialogue between these two young men as we discussed issues that would come about as this ministry works. We will be doing what churches often deem inappropriate and working with people they do not accept. As realizations came about of how we will be perceived and accepted or rejected, we were faced with decisions. As Godson and Mawuko discussed these things, answering each others' posed questions, my heart was jumping with joy in agreement. We all agree that we are called to go no matter what. We all agree that we will stand firm in trials and we will do it together. We all agree that it will not be easy but we are committed to this process nonetheless. And we all recognize that "it is not a one day job."

Pray for and with us as we move into a more cohesive, intentional place of ministry. We will plant on the farm as soon as (its cleared and) the rains come. Mawuko has already begun the sports ministry and we will continue as well as begin in other villages. Arrangements are being discussed and made for the medical team. God is good oh!
