he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8)

It would be easy to focus on the transportation challenges during Ghana Mission 2008, and to lose sight of the way that the Lord took the little we brought and multiplied it to bless others -- and us -- for His glory.  Whether it was a song offered up during a service that ministered to others; a smile, a hug or making funny faces with a child that provided encouragement and reflected God's love; medication to treat an adult or youngster with malaria; a conversation with a headmistress on behalf of a young lady from the orphanage; or laughter and good-natured teasing shared during our "unscheduled" stay in New York, the Lord repeatedly extended His grace and His hands filled with hope.  His presence accompanied us throughout, and His plans and purposes prevailed.
