I'm Following Jesus to Ghana...

Each of these statements were written by team members as a way to articulate why they go - more will follow soon.....

I'm following Jesus to Ghana to make a difference - for myself to grow and learn and to leave a lasting love for our efforts to our Ghanaian friends.

I'm following Jesus to Ghana

as I was asked by him

to leave behind what I think I know

to share my gifts and help others grow.

He'll show me how to make leaps of faith

and leave behind a better place.

I'm following Jesus to Ghana

and I'm certain it will change everything!

I am following Jesus to Ghana because Jesus is in
Ghana and I want to be where Jesus is. Since Jesus is
everywhere it could be argued that I don't really need
to go to Ghana. I can find Him here in Cobourg. True.

But suppose Jesus was allowing you to participate in
an adventure, a mission in which He wants to use your
talents and gifts in a very unique and special way,
and in a special place. Now there is reason to go to
Ghana.

Is is my expectation that each one of has been
called to serve in Ghana to do something only we can
do, and more importantly He wants to meet us over
there, in that special place, to show us His love for
all mankind.

So, I am following Jesus to Ghana because when I get
there He will be waiting there to show me what He has
for me to do.

What He has for me to do in Ghana can only be done
in Ghana.

Psalm 36: 9 "For with thee is the fountain of life: in
thy light shall we see light"

Luke

"I am following Jesus to Ghana to give of myself as a team member of Northumberland Youth for Christ under the banner of St. Paul's Church, Brighton. I feel I have been called to join 14 other members of this team to work alongside the Ghanaians. I know I cannot do this alone so I am preparing with this team to work hard and be of assistance with the finishing of the Youth Leadership Training Centre projects in Kokrobite. I hope to bring to the people of Ghana, West Africa, the very best I can offer them!"

Mary

I am following Jesus to Ghana to participate in the transformation of a generation.

We will update this as the rest of the team submit their writing.
