They Come and They Go
This week has been the largest transfer for the mission this year: 20 missionaries in and 9 going out.

This week we will drive to Sunyani, Techiman and then to … Continue reading Zone Conference 2.0

Thursday was in Sunyani, about 3 hours from the Mission Office. I want to tell you just a few things about what we did. I think it is fair to say … Continue reading Zone Conference!
