William Walter Ames is from Togo. His grandfather's grandfather had the same name, given to him by his Scottish parents.
One time this present day William met a black man in the US named Ames. That man asked William if he would do a DNA test. He did and found that these men were descended from the same father and mother..
What links William Ames to me however is not human but knowing a loving God and wanting to see Him worshiped in Togo too.
But for that to happen, current work in other countries will be watered down unless we get more donors catch the vision that seems so easy for the Africans to see.
Once again the cooking stones illustration has effectively and quickly communicated why we are here. (I'll try to post a picture of that too)
At 4:30 we still wait for Emmanuel to arrive for our evaluation time. In 12 hours we will be headed for the airport.
Wintee took us to the city to try to find curios, not easy in this country. Julia sent Magdalene with lunch kavala fish, plantons with a tomato sauce and some mangos. Between food and a nap, I have been revived.
Three stones (Church, College, and EAFC) necessary to cook the food that will feed the people. The student is the pot and we are putting ingredients into him so that when cooked the right amount of time, people can be blessed through his word. Africans like this story. Does it resonate with you?
