saturday as part of the love project we traveled to akosombo to take clothes and food to the villagers of akosombo. we distributed tons of clothes donated by the students at my school. what a great way to show the love of jesus. providing for peoples basic needs.
all the stuff the students collected
a few of the village houses
a few of us handing out books and clothes

this picture speaks for itself
the idea that jesus came to earth to die for me and take all my pain and all my suffering on himself is unfathomable...and when i think about that and i think about what he did for me, i cant imagine being anywhere else in the world. because he died for me, the least i can do is serve him with my life. fear of the lord is important and when i die and im in front of him and he asks me what did i do with what he gave me, i hope to tell him i used what he gave me. i will forever serve him and love his people. this is what he created me for.
the things we have in this world will not go with us, but the souls of people will. we were created to bring glory to god and worship him. we were created to love people more than we love ourselves, and to show the love of jesus. to care for people who don't have food and cant provide for themselves. to love people. its really simple. love people more than we love ourselves.
being in akosombo rejuvenated my heart and my spirit. these people are incredible. africa is such an amazing continent, its hard to put into words. i wish all of you could experience it.
fix our eyes on not what is seen, but what is unseen. for what is seen in temporary but what is unseen in eternal. 2 corinthians 4:18
