I can’t believe I have been back in the U. S. for almost a year! In July, I had the opportunity to go back to Ghana and spend some time with the leadership team and visit a few of the churches. It was good to see many of my friends again in Ghana, but the time passed t...

Sometimes, a season of change happens suddenly. Such was the case for missionary Oleta Witt in 2018.

After assuming the position of director of Ghana ministries last year, Oleta immediately began training the assistant director, George Korah, to take the job.  And, with...
