When I visited the village of Wangara in July 2005 I took a photo of a man listening to a radio under a tree. Yesterday when I visited the village I found the same man under the same tree. He had a new shirt and a box of matches instead of a radio. I had […]
Baptisms in the Densu River
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God – John 1:12 Before the baptisms we had a small worship service at Ebenezer Baptist church in city of Nsawam. The eight new Christians came from the surrounding villages to be baptized in […]
Photo of the Day
I went to a river baptism today and the sun was scorching. The beads of sweat on this girl’s face are a great visual testament to the heat. This is one of those photos you have to see at full size (1o megapixels).
Meet Debbie, Heather, and Mary (former Trokosi slaves)
In a previous post I gave an overview of the evil practice of Trokosi slavery or “religious servitude” (the politically correct terminology).

Photo of the Day
The man in black’s name is Johnny. He was the driver that took me to Frankadua this week. Johnny is wearing black because his father passed away last week. Tradition dictates that he wear black until his father’s body has been buried. This photo is significant to me because it reminds me of the reason […]
Yaws
A 30-something, 6-month pregnant lady came to clinic the other day with a complaint of having a rash on her abdomen. When she lifted her shirt, I saw three medium sized papillomas in a curved line on the right side of her pregnant belly. They appeared to be in 3 different stages of development, 2 […]
