Teen Mission Trip in Country Day 1

July 15th 2023,

After a long 10 1/2-hour flight from New York to Accra, Ghana Africa. The team safely touched down at approximately 10:19 am Ghana time, 3:19 am Arizona time. After departing the plane the team was able to pickup their visas and pass through customs. We learned on this trip that it’s much easier to apply for and pickup the visas upon arrival opposed to the online process state side. After picking up their luggage which thankfully all of it did arrive, they were greeted by Senyo and his son Aaron. Loading everyone and everything into the van, Senyo took them to the mall in Accra for brunch before the 3-hour drive to Ho. The team is now safely checked into their hotel that they will be calling home for the remainder of the trip. Next up is dinner and a good night’s rest. Please continue to lift them up in prayer.

John 14:12

I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do whatever I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
