Today we went to the First Baptist Church of Nalerigu. If you have never been to an African Church you are missing out on some amazing praise and worship. I truly believe the passion for Him through their worship will be the way we worship in heaven!
Rounds took place prior to Church and after Church I spent the majority of the afternoon playing with some local kids. They are so much fun and they love to ask questions about America or how we live and it is interesting for me as I try to explain a way of life that is truly foreign to them.
The Dr. and Mrs. Ted Higgins, a surgeon on the INMED board, are supposed to begin their journey here tomorrow. Unfortunately, their daughter was working at a clinic in Haiti when the earthquake occurred. She has been providing medical care there until she can be safely evacuated, which we hope is very soon! So the Higgins arrival here in Ghana is dependent on their daughter arriving back in the States safely.
The missionaries and even nationals here have prayed for the people in Haiti. The amazing thing is I am not even sure if the nationals know where Haiti is, but they do know that brothers and sisters are working and suffering through this devastation there so they are lifting them up in prayer. It has been a humbling experience to see the faith of so many here, even when they seem to have no material wealth their joy and passion for Christ and others is never ceasing.
Lailah is doing better. She spiked a fever this morning and was miserable but I believe she is coming around. She keeps asking for Poco.
