I’m thrilled to follow the progress you are making with the OT. Praying that you can continue your trips down to Ghana here without any problems, Philip. May the Lord protect each member of your team and grant much grace and wisdom as you work together on this great task. Cheering you on!
Hey its great to see the progress on the Kasem OT. Praying for both of you as you face physical challenges. After my dad’s death in May my thoughts have often been on the fraility of our bodies and the effects of sin causing the decay and weakness. A normal process in life but one that was really not suppose to happen!! Anyway will pray that you both have a speedy recovery and that Philp will be able to come back to Ghana in October.
May the Lord continue to empower you to complete the translation. speedy recovery to rev. James wecho. we love you al
