On Tuesday nights (of most weeks) we have been going to a Bible study run by international students (mostly Americans). This has been a neat experience to get to know students from other countries and to fellowship. A few Ghanaian students have started coming and it has been amazing to see their passion. One guy named Edward was sharing with me last night about how privileged he feels to share the gospel of Christ with others. It seems that the mindset of some is so different and unique here in Ghana. Passionate is the only word that I can use to describe it. Some mornings, we will wake up to a ‘preacher’ in our front yard. There is one guy who will stand out in the parking lot literally shouting his message, if only he would share it in English! I still haven’t learned enough Twi.
Laurie and I have also started a Bible study for our group. We have met twice now and are going through a study guide on the book of John, which is focusing on getting to know Jesus. It has been wonderful to get together with others in our group and learn more about each other and where each is at in their spiritual life. Everyone comes from such different backgrounds. Please pray for us as we continue to meet.
I can definitely say that in being out of my comfort zone and seeing and experiencing so many difficult things, I am being challenged and tested in my faith. God has been showing me things that I need to change or work towards. He has also been showing me more of Himself and His character. There is so much to learn, but it is definitely a continual process. Praise the Lord for the good work He is doing!
"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
