Progress in Abrewenko

View of completed first school and rebar structure

Construction underway on the second school

At day end Tuesday, we had finished the rebar structures for the new school building's pillars and roof, finished the mudding of the original school building's walls, and nearly finished the mortaring. Due to our progress there was less work for us to complete. We pitched in and carried the homemade mud bricks to the new building for the construction workers. We also had several members including Cora and David finishing the mortaring in the original building. Luke led a few dozen children in chants and cheers for the mortar workers shouting "Mortar Mortar"! 

Due to our lighter workload this gave us the opportunity to deepen our connections with our brothers and sisters from Abrewenko and Dampong. Many of us played with the children and taught them songs and games including: the hookey pokey, who let the dogs out, and duck duck goose. We were also blessed to have time to sit down and have wonderful conversations and discussions about similarities and differences in our country's societies, schools, churches, customs, and more. When we returned to Bompata for the evening, there was a meeting of the Osofus (Pastors) of several of the communities to discuss to future of our partnership. It has been proposed that there will be a continued formalization of the relationship with the Trinity Presbyterian Church of Dampong. We will continue to strengthen our communication with our sister church and search for opportunities to receive blessings from them in the form of edification and support. We feel very strongly that we are building healthy relationships and moving our partnership forward to live our call for global mission!
