written by Amy Houck Last September while we were in Somanya, Africa, I had the opportunity to meet a young girl named Gifty that was going through a very difficult time in her life. She, like many young girls around the world, was facing teen pregnancy. In this small west African community, were poverty is [...]
Well it has been two weeks since our return to the US. I had been asked to share what happened in Africia with a small group of young girls at our church this eveing. I had so many things that I wanted to share and had a hard time fitting them into a time limit. [...]
Since it was in prayer that we were sent, it was only appropriate that it be in prayer that we should be returned. This was the closing of our time with Pastor Sackey, Mama Pamela, and their staff of associate pastors and teachers, after which we loaded up and headed for Accra.
As we sit in the Chicago O’hare airport on our return flight, we find us with plenty of layover time on our hands, so we took the liberty of beginning to compile some of the fun clips from the Ghana trip that we didn’t get while in country. Enjoy!

Today we visited Accra the capital of Ghana. Wow, what a busy place! We got to see the offices of TheoVision where we got the camera from to film while we are here. Very cool to see an editing system and sound studio in an area that hardly has internet connections, except for internet cafes. [...]

Electricity has come to Somanya’s [...]
This is the video that we edited for the Sunday service (a first for their church) that Chad used to talk about having an intimate understanding of our God, our neighbors, and our community. We said that if we didn’t engage with people where they are, we may never meet them. We can not expect [...]
We had a great time last night ministering to about 150 or so. As we drove into town on the first day, we were suprised to find a banner in the middle of the main intersection announcing that Chad & Amy Houck of the United States would be ministering at the Friday night service! They [...]
Amy and I arrived safely in Accra, Ghana last night about an hour late, but none the less safe! We were greeted at the airport by Pastor Sackey and two additional gentlemen from Theovision, who got us our camera gear and tripods. After a short stop for a chicken and rice dinner, we were on [...]
