SUNDAY MORNING PREP...

Hi friends,

It's Sunday morning here and we are getting ready to go to church, have
lunch at the Aryee's home in Accra and then participate in a youth event in another community. It will be a busy and exhausting day. Yesterday we were

tourists for the day. We went to Kakum National Park - a coastal rainforest, and then to the slave castle at Cape Coast. In the evening, we had a rehearsal to prep for today.

I am writing this for two reasons. 1) to let you know that there are more pics on the website. Loading to there is much better that the using the blog, so we will use that for pics and this
for this for talk. Go to

www.nyfc.org/ghana2006/july15ghana.html

to view the most recent offerings. It is an amusing collection. We will post more pics of the village in a day or so.

2) We need to request some very specific prayer. Although many on the team are feeling quite well, there are some who are struggling with internal physical stuff still. Whether it is the
food or weather or stress, it seems that some stomachs are not settled yet and this is a long time to be this way. That adds a lot of stress on that team member. Even this morning, as we get ready to head out we will quickly know who is feeling "safe" to trsvel and who is not. When your body is not predictable, and the availability of bathrooms is not predicatable, the stress level is enormous.

They are handling it well, but I am asking those of you who read this to pray that God might relieve our team of this added burden. The team still does it's work and does so very well -
but this far into the mission these issues can be demoralizing for those who are struggling and adds an extra weight of care for the rest.

Please be assured all of you, that this is not anything serious, and the flu we brought with us seems to be gone, but it is astressful time. Furthermore, everyone on this team is socommitted, that they work through it anyway.

You can be very proud of all of them. They do what is needed, and feel the disappointment of not being able to perform at the highest level possible. They just want to serve witheverything possible.

So I ask you to pray for relief, and encouragement, and strength. Many of you will get this before church on Sunday at home - please solicit the prayers of the church on our behalf.

We will write more later.

Blessings and grace to you all

Serving in Christ's name
