We have been asked to tell Bible stories to the kids at the school. It will be wonderful to have supplies for crafts (see the list in the last blog), but it would be even better if we came prepared to share our faith stories and personal lives with the folks we meet.
Lots of times we hear 1Peter 3:15 used for reminding us to be ready to share our conversion and present the gospel with someone who does not know Christ. For our travels, I want us also to be prepared to share with each other and the Ghanians we meet about the hope we are finding in Him each day.
In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
As you get your clothes and supplies ready to pack into that suitcase, take a bit of time to think and pray through what you would say to those who ask you questions while you are in Ghana. It might be a 7 year old school child or an older man in the village. As God is teaching you about Himself, how would you tell a bit of 'your story' to the ones who will be curious why you got on the plane and came so far? I hope we can help each other be spurred on to love and good deeds.
