Email from our friends in Ghana

This is a copy of an email sent from Bob and Bonnie this morning.

Matt, Elizabeth, Don and Zenda,

We just wanted to say thank you once more for all of your hard work while you were in Ghana. Each of you brought such an array of ministry to us that it would be difficult to say what was the 'best' part. Keep up the good work and know that there are many today that are enjoying your pictures. Even more importantly, know that you will spend eternity with some of those folks all because you cared enough to share a picture.
Keep in touch with us and don't forget to write something for the newsletter. Love ya!
Bob & Bonnie

Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy

(Elizabeth talking now)

Check out their ministry, what they are doing is really cool and has Matt and myself thinking. Bob and Bonnie did not go to Tamale to start a church, but instead they empower the Ghanaian Pastors in Tamale to empower their individual churches. Doesn't it make sense that an indigenous pastor would understand the needs of the people rather than someone else who grew up in a completely different atmosphere?

One more thing:

Seed Ministry is working on a container project, which you can check out on their website. If you can participate any way possible, I can tell you that it will be put to good use and further the Kingdom, but you only have a month before it is shipped.

Throughout our time in Ghana we continued to ask Bob and Bonnie what their wish list would look like. The kept shying away from our request because they are so humble at heart. However, through our continued urging and growing relationship they finally did write it out. This is what was on it.

Bob and Bonnie's wish list:

Container Project:

Toothbrush and toothpaste
Dental floss
Band aids
Triple antibiotic ointment or crème

New or used:
Medium to large bibles (no King James--the English is too hard, as they are just learning)
Bible commentaries
Bible concordances
Bible dictionaries

Weed eaters
Small generators
Bicycles and motorbikes for pastors
Any kind of instruments (new or used): guitars, pianos, keyboards--anything

They are asking for a $7.00 donation for every cubic square box you fill. Every little bit helps. Check it out on their website for more details.
