Hearts for Ghana T-shirt

Out of the heart flows the springs of life..... the heart is essential in all that we do. Without the heart there is no life.....

My love for missions started when I was a young. It has always tugged at my heart to see someone unhappy or in need be it a friend or a complete stranger. I would quickly try to come up with a "plan" to make things better for that individual......giving money, telling a joke, a loving embrace, crying with them, words encouragement.... I just wanted them to feel loved. Well I did not know then, it would turn into something like spending a year in Ghana.

We all long after one word in our lives......LOVE.  It is desired by every living thing on earth....big or small, animal or human, young or old. It does not matter your race, religion, male or female LOVE is what we search for on this journey called life. I have heard the saying many times that money makes the world go round but I believe LOVE does.

Your prayers and contributions can go along way....

In a complete act of Faith, on June 25, 2014, I will be leaving to volunteer a year of my time in Accra, the capital of Ghana. My time, effort and money will be used do many things while there, one being to develop and transform an existing preschool into a Montessori School. This program will empower the staff with the ability to go out into the schools in the surrounding areas and make the Montessori transformation, thus making Montessori accessible where in the past it was not. 

Statistics show that there are 1,000,000 orphans in Ghana. The rapidly growing number of orphans reflects the dramatic increase in HIV infection of women of childbearing age. Every 15 seconds a child becomes an AIDS orphan in Africa. I will be volunteering at local orphanages who aid in housing these sweet children.

I have been blessed to enter fellowship with Bishop Francis Afotey Odai, who is the Pastor of Maranatha Power Ministries in Ghana, while in Ghana I will also be participating in outreach ministry with his church and surrounding churches in the region.

As you can imagine this kind of trip will require financial support from a number of people. My goal is to raise $10,000 for this project. This total includes travel, housing, malaria medication, supplies for the sch, and daily expenses for the entire year. By making a pledge on my behalf, you are supporting the development of these children and the spreading of God's word to the masses. There are two ways you can help:

• Prayer! Pray for God’s continued guidance throughout each day, and that lives are transformed.
• Finances! Going alone is not an option. Although you may not be physically going with me, your finances put you right there. Your financial support can be a one-time gift or you can make recurring monthly donations.

I will not be traveling through a specific organization at this time, but I have in the past traveled with the Starfish Kenya organization. As I fore stated, this move is a total act of Faith. God has given me a call and a vision to be a vessel to reach out to the children and the people in Ghana. For we are His hands, and we are His feet. 

My heart and hands are open to fulfilling my destiny.

I thank you in advance for your prayers and contribution. Please know that I appreciate it very much!
If you would like to partner with me you can donate through paypal or if you would like to send a check you can email me at asu61274@gmail.com and I will provide you with the information.

Thanks again and God Bless!

The start to my journey......

Hello All!!!

Let me just put the disclaimer out there, I know I'm missing the 's in my blog name...lol. But unfortunately God'sGhanaGal was already taken so I decided to just drop the apostrophe  - didn't want you all to think I have more than just ONE God or do not know simple punctuation (for all my friends who correct people's spelling and punctuation on social media...love you gals) OK with that out of the way here is the start to my journey.....

Well as some of you know I have a heart for missions. I have gone on 6 mission trips in the past 6 years, five to Kenya and one to Ghana. After the first time I stepped foot on African soil I was hooked....the people, the culture, the children, the simple life and the fact that I felt God every where. Yes, in a land stricken with poverty I saw and felt God more than ever before! Maybe it's because, even though the people there don't possess all the things we do in America, they praise God like they have all of what we have and more. They have much less but complain much less...this was perplexing to me. I have more than I need and complain almost everyday about something or another. You can say going there humbled me greatly!

I went to Ghana in January 2014 and spent 8 days in Accra. When I got off the plane and breathed in the African air it was like I was home. As I rode in the car to our destination tears filled my eyes....Africa is where I am suppose to be. Little did I know, I would be making plans to come back in 6 short months.  My time there was awesome, I meet some wonderful people and we did some great things! Of course, my favorite was spending time with the children! I am in my element when I am around them..... laughing, singing songs, playing games, dancing and just getting to know each other.

 Before I left Ghana I knew I would be back! However, I did not know it would be so soon. My plan was to go to Ghana and then come home and prepare for my annual mission trip to Kenya. Well God had other plans......when I came home I longed to be back in Africa. As I was suffering from jet lag, God and I were able to spend some quality time together :) During one of our late night/early morning conversations He confirmed the fact that I would not be going to Kenya but to Ghana. OOHHH I did not agree with this plan at all!!! "Why can't I go to Kenya? My babies will be soooo sad, I will be so sad!! Let's rethink this thing God!!" But He did not change His mind even when I tried to change it for Him by coming up with a different plan. I was trying to figure out ways to have a secure income while over in Ghana. I will go, but God I need you to do this before I completely give into your plan. Weeeell He didn't like that idea.... so here I am going to Ghana on June 25, 2014 (the same date that the team is going to Kenya). I will be there for a year doing mission work and will also be fundraising for my support while there. God always gets the last word....lol.

This is a trip of faith!!! I have prayed that God will reveal Himself in everything dealing with this trip and He has...everyday! I can say that my trust for God has grown in a short period of time. He is preparing me for what He has for me...which I do not exactly know but I know it's going to be great and for His glory!! I do not know why He choose me but He did and for the first time in a long time I am not going to run from the calling but embrace it! 

Greater things to come.......


If you would like to support me through prayer, financially or both it would be greatly appreciated! You can contact me at asu61274@gmail.com for further information.
