This morning, there was another meeting for the team that is preparing for the trip to Ghana, supported by the Zelenograd church, Wycliffe mission, and the Russian Fellowship of Evangelical Christians. We are thankful to everyone who has shown interest in this trip and is praying, reading the news on the blog, and giving to the project. As of today, 3/4 of the project needs have been taken care of, and 2/3 of the team's needs have been met (plane tickets, immunizations, insurance, living expenses, medicine, etc.). We believe that the Lord will provide the rest of the needed finances during this remaining week: to buy a paper cutter and to pay for printing readers in the Avatime language.
Yesterday, the missionaries sent us an audio file with phrases for us to learn in the Avatime language. This way we can greet people, which is very important to in their culture. Thank you for praying for the team's health. Today we were all well and present at the meeting, but there is still another week left till we leave. May the Lord keep each of us! The team is in good spirits. Each one is living in anticipation of the upcoming ministry in Ghana. On Sunday, we will have another meeting and be interviewed by a Russian Christian newspaper. Alex needs to meet with the crew from TBN to prepare for videoing in Ghana. Anya is finishing details for the programs in the villages and for lessons with 35 first-grade children. We are praying for understanding of the culture of these people, so that our words and actions would not offend or cause misunderstandings. We know the Lord will teach us many spiritual and practical lessons. This is why missions trips are important.
There is just a week left till departure!
Wishing you all the best as you prepare for your mission trip. God bless your continued efforts.
