Ghana 2010 - #1

 Jimmie and Yaw Boateng left Atlanta last night on a direct flight to the western horn of Africa.
His plane is due to land in the capital city of Accra, Ghana, along the southern coast of this nation, today.  But that is not their destination.  He and brother Yaw will spend the night tonight in Tema, not far from the airport, then tomorrow they board a bus taking them north to the Brong Ahafo region, almost the center of the nation.  For the next 2 weeks Nkoranza will be their base for a series of Gospel meetings scattered around that region.

Jimmie said that of all the traveling he had on the agenda for this long campaign, it's the bus rides to and from Nkoranza that he dreaded the most.  Ghanaians are of small stature so as Jimmie put it, those buses just aren't built for Americans.

Please keep Jimmie and Yaw in your prayers as they travel and work in Ghana.
