A Time to Build Up, Laugh, and Dance

     These past couple of months have been full of many group/Church team-building activities. We were blessed to have friends and family from around the world visiting us through the Christmas time. We were especially thankful for our newly rented home that we could host four families (21 guests) in. It was very busy but everything was merrier being able to do everything together. The men took a trip up north for the annual Bolgatanga Men's Meeting. As usual we camped out in the open up on the rocky hills and had a super time of teaching, preaching, singing, etc. 
 Afterwards we had our Annual Staff Christmas Party back in Kumasi. God has been faithful to us year after year so we get together as staff and have a little fun and games and food :) , and then individually give testimonies of significant things God has done for us and in us. It was a great time!
This was followed by our annual school kids Christmas Presentation. This time each teacher was responsible for  coming up with song/skit/etc for their students to perform within an allotted time. They did a good job and the students did awesome. It was great to have many parents involved for the first time. We were thankful for the opportunity to preach truth to that crowd.
What followed next was "Our Day" celebration- the last day of school. This time we took our students to the movie theatre to watch Frozen II. They had a blast! A good number of the little ones had a good nap :) .
We were all excited a few days after to see our adopted sister, Alima, get married to a faithful brother in Christ! It was a beautiful wedding and a great joy!
The year 2019 ended with great fellowship with friends and family (even sharing in some sickness and hospital trips 😂 ) for Christmas and the New Years! God has been tremendously good to us and we remind ourselves of that as we now persevere steadily on through the beginning months of the new year.  We hope and pray God keeps and guides you all as well!  Love and blessings from our family to you!

A Do-It-Yourself Move

Y ou know how moving to a different house can flip your world upside down for a while? Yep!  It's been pretty crazy around here, but we are sooooooo thankful and excited!  We finally got all moved into our new home right next to the school!  Believe it or not, the landlords still haven't finished the plumbing (our water tank still leaks), the electrical work (some parts of the house still need sockets and wiring), or the painting (they did finish inside but the entire outside hasn't been touched) but we had to go ahead and make the move anyway because the summer school break was fast approaching the end!  So far, we are extremely happy with the QUIETER street; more room for the kids and guests; wonderful cool breezes we get here; and being able to pop right over to the school/assembly building to help serve more!  We are beyond grateful and appreciative to all who helped make this move possible! Yup, the workers were tiling the kitchen by the light of their cellphone

Field Day Fun!

The year of school has drawn to an end with a flurry of final tests, report cards, farewells, and a fabulous, fun final day out in the botanical gardens on the nearby university campus.  What fun it was to be together out in an open grassy field to bring closure to the year of hard work, training, education, and diligent child care.  We especially thank God for the cloud cover which gave shady, cooler weather but didn't rain on us. Get ready! Get set!......... ....And GO!!!! We had games, races, balloons and bubbles   So much enjoyable fellowship filled with laughter among friends, siblings, staff and students.                                                           Yummy picnic snacks       Hurray for the Helpful, hard-working staff and several volunteers who came out to help! Our favorite aspect of this day was seeing what makes our school extra-special.  Everyone i
