Day 2 of Trip: Arrive in Ghana

Today we arrive in Ghana at 7:30am Ghana time! Mark will meet us at the airport, as well as Nana Yaw’s mom, Esi. We will check into our hotel (check it out at http://airsidehotel-ghana.com/home.html) and then spend the day meeting Mark’s teams/players. These are the players who will be switching over to Kingdom Hoops Ghana, and Jake will be handing out uniforms. They have a game scheduled for us to watch. We will also meet the next host student coming over from Ghana, who’s name also happens to be Samuel. He will be staying with a family in Des Moines.

We will also be meeting with the Ghana Basketball Association today to talk through ways to grow the sport in Ghana.

This evening we will be attending church with Mark for a special New Year’s Eve service called a ‘crossover’ service that celebrates crossing over into a New Year.

Please pray for God's comfort as we will surely be missing our kids terribly by now. Pray that we can stay focused on the trip despite this. Pray that JJ and Jayla are getting along well with Grandma and having lots of fun!
