Thank you so much for all of your prayers and responses yesterday for our team.  It is so encouraging to know you are behind us as we get ready to fly to Ghana!  It takes a huge team to make a camp like this happen, and our supporters from home are an important part of […]

10 days from right this minute, our 2019 Ghana camp team will be sitting in the JFK airport ready for liftoff.  It’s hard to believe that the day we have been anticipating for so long is almost here.  Over the next 10 days, I will be posting prayer requests for our trip.  Will you please […]

Three! Oh my word.  Today I’m going to be selfish and say, “Will you please pray for our team again?”  We are moms and dads and business owners and employees and students preparing for college –  normal, busy people like you.  We are trying to finish up our work and prepare our homes and find […]

9. nine. NINE! Nine days till lift off!  I can’t even believe it! The excitement is running high, for sure! Today will you pray for our teachers? They are:  Tim Ainsley, Denise Grove, Joe Stecz, Nancy Mehesy, and Mary Beth Will. Teaching in Ghana is the core of camp.  Each year we surround our Biblical […]

Here we are!  The Ghana camp 2018 team!  Will you please pray for us? Every year I ask God to put together the perfect team that He desires to carry out the camp in Ghana, and every year He surprises me with good gifts!  It’s always a time of uncertainty as people say they are […]

Today is the day!  At 8 a.m. this morning our team of 14 will be meeting to pack our carry on luggage in with the 28 tubs containing everything we need for camp. We will drive to JFK airport in New York City, check in previously mentioned tubs, go through security, and wait in anticipation […]

1! One day till take off!  Thanks for continuing to pray for us. Just a short prayer request today because, well, I have a “few” things to do! Today would you please pray for the children who are coming to camp?  We will be serving over 400 children this year and they will be coming […]

2. Two. 2!  I can’t believe we leave in 2 days.  The very last camp supplies are being packed even as we speak.  The last minute shopping has been done.  Gifts and letters for sponsored children have been received.  Now all we have to do is…LEAVE!  Yay! Today I’d like to share the third purpose […]

Three. 3!!! After months of preparation, it’s almost impossible to believe that we leave in three days.  It’s like a dream…a very good dream, of course! Today I have the most important prayer request of all.  Our main purpose while in Ghana is to share the Gospel with the children at camp.  The older I […]
