Home

Thanks to the Lord for his goodness. By God's grace we arrived back to Knoxville around 9:30 p.m. last night. Everyone is well and filled to overflowing with love and experiences God gave us. We look forward to sharing many of those with our Arlington family tomorrow. Thank you, thank you, thank you for going before our Father on our behalf. I could not be more pleased with our team and what God was able to accomplish through these willing servants.

One final experience I wanted to share which made us all laugh at how God works. We shared with you all an experience at the beginning of our trip with a man from Ghana who was working at a store we stopped at right before getting to the airport in Atlanta. Well, on our way out of the airport yesterday after we collected our luggage, we made our way to the shuttle pick up to take us to our van. We parked at a place called Walley Park. As we made our way onto the shuttle, the man driving the van saw my T-shirt. He asked where we just came from. I told him Ghana, West Africa. He broke out into a smile and said that is where he was from. He was so happy to hear of our trip and even visited Fetteh this past December when he returned home as he does each year to see family in Ghana.

This was a wonderful experience to complete our mission trip - yet truly our mission will not be complete until we our home in heaven. God will continue to give us opportunities to serve and will show himself to us if we will but look and listen.

Love, grace, and peace to all -
Mark and the Team

The Ghana Team has written a new definition of "team". Or better yet, they have shown us the real definition of "team". Working as one to show the love of God. We thank God for what they have all learned and what we have learned through them. I love all of you. Anita
