Above is a picture of last summer's Ghana Discovery team. It is similar to the other 10 team photos we have on our office wall in one very significant way; western men are missing in action! Take a look for yourself; although our Ghanaian counterparts vary each year in their gender mix, ours is very predictable; 2 or at most 3 guys from outside Ghana participate in our trips each year. Will this year be different? Maybe...but not in the way we had hoped for. Currently John is processing 8 different applications for the Ghana trip...all from ladies! And the other trips are looking much the same at this point.
Now don't get us wrong...we are all for empowering women, and we are excited to have each and every one on our trips. But you have to wonder what is keeping the men back... Would you join us in prayer that the guys whom God is nudging to Discover this summer will take the leap of faith to apply and join us? Thanks!
