Bon Voyage to our barrels!

Well finally our barrels have been packed and delivered to Rapid Performance Inc. in Columbus. They will be Africa bound in a few short days and should arrive in Ghana just after us. Yesterday we were given many tests of patience and I think we handled them very well. God is trying to give us a taste of what it will be like in Ghana I think. We are still not sure why God did not allow us to get our barrel out yesterday but we now know that we had grossly underestimated how much would fit in a barrel. So today we delivered our first barrel to Rapid Performance and took the stuff that wouldn't fit in it and put it in a second barrel. We still didn't have enough room so the rest of the stuff will have to go in our suitcases. Good thing we can each take 3 suitcases. I uploaded some short videos so you can see us as we deliver and pack our barrels. In the video you will see Rajah Ishwar who runs Rapid Performance Inc. he is a native Ghanaian who now lives in the U.S.









Please continue to pray for us and rejoice with us that we were able to get our barrels shipped.
