Ghana Mission, 2011

I wanted to pass on some internet information in regards to Michelle’s Mission trip to Ghana. Our congregation partners with the Village of Hope in Ghana, West Africa. You can visit their website: http://www.gwam.org/welcome.html While there, our mission team do their best to blog about the experiences. The internet connections are not the most stable, so there may not be a lot of responses. The blog for their experiences is here: http://farragutchurch.blogspot.com/. It should give you an idea into what they experience and what they offer during the week.

The mission team is made up of doctors, nurses, optometrists, dentists, engineers, preachers, teachers children, and of course one very special PT (that would be Michelle). They run the medical clinic for a week that has been established by the Village of Hope and numerous sponsors from around the globe. Our congregation sends everything from sun glasses to malaria medicine to be handed out during the week they are there. Along with medical treatment, they also play soccer with the children, teach the basics of mosquito netting, preach, and participate with various activities for encouragement and enrichment for the locals.

I’ll pass on some stories of their experiences as well as mine, as I am wifeless and childless for the week!

Regards,
