Ocean Odyssey in Ada, Ghana

First we took a three hour bus ride. Then there were twenty minutes on a boat and another five minutes of walking. We had reached the Manna Mission Church plant on a small island near the town of Ada. Ada is located east of Accra, where the mighty Volta River meets the Atlantic.

The small island village probably hasn’t changed a whole lot in the past 200 years. Other than more modern looking clothes, it was pretty primitive. We set up a medical clinic, an eye clinic, children’s ministry, and sent out an outreach team.

It was a great day of ministry, as well as a long one. We arrived back at Manna Mission Hospital around 9:30 pm.

I had the opportunity to work in the eye clinic. It was very rewarding to see someone put on a pair of prescription glasses and light up because they could finally see. Some of the literate villagers who were farsighted could now read their Bibles. What a picture of the ministry we are doing. The blind will see!

Thank you for your prayers.
