We spent this past weekend at Barb and Roy’s house on the campus of Ghana Christian University College. It was a time of welcome rest, yummy food, and warm conversation.
We were able to visit the bead factory where they melt glass and mold it in a variety of shapes and colors (pictures at the end of post). We also watched a fun black-and-white Sherlock Holmes movie and spent hours of Saturday morning talking over multiple cups of coffee. On Sunday we visited the church of one of Roy’s students and split up to observe and take notes on children’s Sunday school classes in order for Roy to meet with the church’s teaching leadership later and offer some ideas. Hearing more about Roy’s work was one of the best parts of the weekend.
It’s exciting to hear about what God is doing in the lives of Roy’s students and to meet them. These men and their families are warriors in the trenches of the spiritual battle for Ghana and the surrounding countries. They are the ones who sacrifice home, comfort, and even a full stomach to train at GCUC and then go into the bush to start and sustain churches. They have incredible stories of God’s provisions in the face of everything from witch doctors to poverty. Hearing their stories is both encouraging and sobering. We were reminded to pray for and find ways to support Roy as he ministers to his students both inside and outside of the classroom.
