Sekyer Krobo School

Thought I would post some pictures of the school children in the village of Sekyer Krobo. The little boy on the right was adorable. He was such a camera hog! His shirt says "Mango Addict"















This is a picture of the village Chief (right).


On the left is Aundrea Davis. She is a math teacher at Faith Academy. This was her 6th or 7th trip to Ghana. It is her heart's cry to live there and work in the school. She was pretty much in control of our lives in Africa. She organized, arranged, planned, etc. Aundrea is currently working toward her missionary license in the Assemblies of God. She is totally awesome!





This young man (left) walks 5 miles (one way) every single day to school...10 miles everyday!!!When we commended him for this action, he acted as if it weren't a big deal at all. Can you imagine the sacrifice?
This is Woody Godwin (right). He is the Director of "Hearts for Missions" and is one of the most humble men I have ever met. He reminded me so much of my father while we were on the trip. (not in age....but in character...lol) He will never realize what a consolation that was.
You only have to be in Mr. Godwin's presence for a moment to hear his heart...MISSIONS! He has served in Costa Rica, Laffia, and Honduras; however, his passion is Africa (more specifically...Ghana). I was honored to serve alongside this man of God.

Wow! As soon as saw that guy I thought he reminded me of your dad. That's so cool. The young man who walks to school 5 miles...I feel so lazy. I complain about not getting a parking spot close to the door at Walmart. Ugh! I just want to puke sometimes at how selfish I am, you know? Anyway, keep the posts coming. It does my soul good to get some lessons in humility.
