Last Day!

It is the last day, and I am excited to be going home. I will miss the McIntyres, and hate to leave them, but seeing my family again will be wonderful. This is the longest I have been away from my daughters and my husband.

We have seen so many things and experienced some wonderful, and not so wonderful, adventures. As we leave the McIntyres here in Ghana they are beginning a new adventure and need our prayers! Today they have been informed that the landlord of their home has decided to move in- which means they must move out! Moving here in Ghana is much more difficult than in the U.S. First of all there is the financial aspect- they must be able to pay 2 years worth of rent before moving in! They need to have moved out by November- this gives them September and October to raise at least $24,000!!!! That is a lot of money in a very short time. Second is the fact that they do not have U-Haul trucks here. They will need to put all their belongings on flat open trucks. This means that everyone can see what they own and can follow the trucks to find out where they are going. Please pray for God to keep them safe! Third- they need to find a place they can afford and have enough room to fill all their needs.

The McIntyres are confident God will provide for them, but it is still a very stressful time for them. They have three of their own children still at home, 2 new babies, and an intern due to arrive next month! That is a lot of weight to put on one family's shoulders. And, even though they may not complain and are relying on the Lord, I know they are hurting and wondering what will happen. I pray everything will get worked out quickly with as little hassle as possible. Please join me in praying for this family so devoted to God and His children.
