Day 6

Saturday had originally planned to be a day of rest, but with so much to do and so many local believers, so started a series of meetings at our host’s home for the first half of the day. The main meeting was with Dr. Kojo Carew, a friend of David’s and our primary source of in-country leadership for the upcoming medical mission, and his wife, Lynette Palmer (yes, sister of our Board and ExCo member, Emeric Palmer). As they say here, “It’s a small country!”

The best news of the morning is that Dr. Carew now has access to a wonderful mobile medical clinic that he can make available to us for our mission. We were exhilarated by this news, and we talked at great length about the upcoming trip.

Dr. Carew had to leave, and we then were joined by Donald Manley of SUSL. We asked him to come back to visit us so that we could better understand his highest priorities for potential assistance from SAVE. It was a good conversation which clarified their needs, and will assist us as we plan future activities and prayer.

We drove to a most beautiful beach in the afternoon (River Number Two Beach), enjoyed the fine, white sand and warm ocean water, and then returned to pack for our return trip. In the morning, we worshipped at the church Pastor Anthony leads before returning to Green Pastures to finish packing, and set out to catch the ferry (hopefully) for a late night return to London.
