UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE 

praises!

We just found out that Alex is most likely going to have a short pass between trainings at Fort Benning!  How exciting that Dave will be able to visit with him briefly before graduation in October.

Our Ghanaian daughter, Charity, is doing great and is now in her 3rd trimester!  Please keep her and baby Ellen in your prayers - repeat C-section will be scheduled somewhere around Thanksgiving.

We've had quite a bit of activity on the house - no offers yet.  "Our" perfect timing would be to get a contract just before leaving for Colorado with a closing date after we return :) -

prayers!

We'll be doing quite a bit of traveling in the next few weeks - our itineraries are pasted below - please keep us in your prayers!

Georgia -
September 20-23, - Ellen at Emmaus retreat
September 22 - Dave visiting with Alex for Mid-cycle break

September 24 - Dave and Ellen leave for Ghana
September 25 - Arrive in Ghana; visit with Gilbert & Brenda & Brian  (Charity's husband and children)
September 26 - Visit Akosombo and the rehab center that's in operation there
September 27 - Fly to Tamale, take bus or taxi to Bolgatanga
September 28 & 29 - Stay in Bolgatanga
September 30 - Church in Bolgatanga then travel to Tamale

October 8 & 9 - Retreat

Some of the time while we're traveling around we'll be visiting and reconnecting with friends in Ghana.  However, the primary purpose of this trip is to spend time praying in the areas  of Tamale and Bolgatanga - asking for discernment and the Lord's leading as we make preparations for the move early next year.  The reason for the retreat is to spend time reflecting on what the Lord has shown us before we return to the US and the busyness that quickly follows.  Our appointment with the Bishops in Accra will be a time of vision casting with them and asking for their partnership.

Please pray for us - that we'll stay strong and healthy - with ears and eyes wide open.

Vermont -
October 17 - 20 - Travel to Burlington VT to visit with Dave's brother & sister in law

We would love to share with your Sunday School Class or other small group what Jesus is doing in Ghana and how He has called us to partner with Him.

Please contact us with your dates and we'll get you on the calendar!
