Hello all, here is an update from Rachel's mom again. Rachel is approaching graduation in just a few days. For the last couple months she has been at Akuse, Ghana. I tried to look this up on Google Earth, but the resolution is not the best. Her daily activity has included the early wake up call, much time spent in prayer, praise and worship and work duties. This phase of the program has involved outreach. This includes direct outreach and evangelism, street evangelism, coordination of programs at the church where Rachel is staying including teaching services and prayer meetings for those they have invited in the external evangelism. The attitude in Ghana has been quite different then would be expected doing these types of activities in the US. People do not automatically react with suspicion. Rather they will engage in conversation and are attacted to the street evangelism activities. Rachel provides a unique draw. The children in particular are interested in the seeing a white person. The conditions are relatively primative, without the modern plumbing we appreciate and also without regular electricity. It is obvious when talking to Rachel that these things are inconsequential relative to the spiritual growth she has gained.



Rachel returns to the US on June 2. I know that she would like to return to Ghana relatively soon. She will be spending two weeks in Mexico from mid-June to early July, so that she can keep her Spanish in shape and visit friends in that part of the world. Hopefully we will be able to schedule a time when she can share her experiences with you all.
