Day 2/3 - Praying for Bishop McLee's Passing and Moving On

Rev. Martha Epstein writes: Our hearts were heavy after receiving the news of our beloved Bishop McLee's passing yesterday, but we are even more determined to seek God's will and go forth with our work here in Ghana. We put our full trust in God and celebrate the amazing spirit filled man our Bishop was. He is resting now in that wonderful place that has been prepared just for hum. May God's comforting arms encircle all of us throughout the world that are mourning his loss.

We had a spirit filled worship service this morning at Bethany Methodist Church Ghana and we have been overjoyed with the hospitality that everyone has shown us. We begin our Summit meetings in earnest tomorrow; this afternoon and evening we spend getting to our Ghana representatives and hearing from the Presiding Bishop of Ghana. We are still a bit jet lagged so going to bed early. Thank you all for your prayers.

Day 3 Itinerary

The team will worship in Accra this morning and then have free time to explore the area today.

Day 3 Bible Verse: Psalm 106:1-5 (CEB)

1 Praise the Lord!
Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
because his faithful love endures forever.
2 Who could possibly repeat all of the Lord’s mighty acts
or publicly recount all his praise?
3 The people who uphold justice,
who always do what is right, are truly happy!
4 Remember me, Lord, with the favor you show your people.
Visit me with your saving help
5 so I can experience the good things your chosen ones experience,
so I can rejoice in the joy of your nation,
so I can praise along with your possession.
