This is James, my friend's Father in Law and the reason why I went to Ghana. James had been writing to Cosmos, a minister for the Church of Christ in Ghana and sending some support to him. A couple of years ago cosmos invited James to come and see the church in this western region of Ghana. He went on his own and was upset to see that the church did not have a roof and people were worshipping in a thatched hut in the middle of the building. He went home with a burden on his heart and he raised enough moeny to not only roof the one church but also another about an hour away from the one in Asasetre. Last year he brought his son and daughter with him to hand over the money. In the spring he got another invitation to come back in November to attend the dedication celebration for the new roof. This was to be his last visit to Ghana, the trip is hard and he is not getting any younger. I was lucky enough to feel a call to travel with him and photograph our time there and the work the people of the Church of Christ are doing there.

This is Cosmos and his wife Millicent. Theyare kind people who welcomed me into their home not knowing much about me at all. As you can see by the sign they are busy with many church services here at the building in Asasetre as well as 4 other planted churches in the surrounding area.

This is John with James. John is a minister at the other church that benefited from James fundraising. He was with us the entire trip, translating for us all along the way.
