Recently 5 youth and three adults from Advent Lutheran Church, Morgan Hill, CA spent 10 days on a Ghana pilgrimage. They spent most of the time connecting with students and leadership at Awaso Academy International (AAI) in Awaso, sharing leadership in Bible studies each morning and joining local activities in the afternoons: visiting the health clinic, local market, tribal elders and Queen Mother, dancers and drummers, and making fufu. Advent has had a 16-year-relationship with AAI, so it was joyful to be in-person together!
After leaving Awaso, they went to Kakum National Park, the Cape Coast and Elmina slave castles, and, in Accra, the Kwame Nkrumah Presidential Library, Independence Square, and the National Museum. They are grateful to God, their hosts and partners, and the generosity of their congregation.
Watch their reflection on their youtube!
