This is It!

So this is the whole team. We leave on July 9th. It is so crazy how fast this summer has went. please comment or ask questions when ever you get that urge! See you in Africa!

His name is Jordan!!!

"I am a Junior at Sterling College. I play tennis. I enjoy the Discovery and History Channels. I like frosted flakes. Sometimes i get on Facebook for long periods of time." -----Jordan

Well that is what he had on his Facebook page but that is not all I'm writing. Jordan too is at camp so I get to write what ever I want.

Jordan is one of the coolest people you might every know and folks I'm not just saying that. There is a line outside his door of people waiting to just hang out with him. But being the laid back, down to earth, slow to speak so that he might take in everything kinda guy he is, he will just trow a party for everyone in his hall way. Though he takes his time with his answers some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is shocking, profound, and hilarious.

A little fact about Jordan that may or may not be true is that he likes to have PJ dance parties where ever he goes, its his way of saying I am here and I did not forget something to sleep in.
Some of the things he is bring to the trip is a kind heart, a new way of looking at life, and mad dancing skills. Oh and I said that Emily will change Ghana, with Jordan Africa will never be the same. God will truly be known through him and in his wake he will leave Joy (Because he is so funny people will be laughing for years to come).

Emily!!!

Hello everyone. I, Salima will be writing Emily's first post. She is currently at a camp and has not gotten the chance to write anything. So I get to put what ever I want lol.

So Emily is a current student at Sterling college. This is her first time mission trip with Sterling and her first time over seas.

Few facts about Emily:

1. She LOVES GOD and is going after him with her whole heart

2. She has the loudest and most contagious laugh I have ever heard.

3. She is probably the whole reason we never get things accomplished at meetings :)

4. Ants are in her pants?

5. She can out sing anyone one on our team, well kind of I think its a tie between her and Zack

6. If she had to eat Chocolate or a really crazy looking native food Emily would go native all the way.

7. When we have a history question we turn to her first unless it is about the 13 original colony's then you should stop listening and go straight to Chris.

8. She might get lost in the airport but all we have to do is close our eyes and listen for her laugh.

9. If you need to be taught the Ghana handshake Emily is your go to girl

10. Ghana and the people of Ghana will never be the same when she leaves that place.

Oh and if there was one thing she could take home from Africa she said it would be a goat so that she could have cheese when ever she wanted it.

Hello...

Hey everyone! I'm Scott Hicks. I'm a Christian Ministries (youth emphasis) major at Sterling College and I just finished my freshman year. I am from Lincoln Nebraska originally and found a new home at Sterling College and I love it. I originally was unsure whether or not I should go on this trip due to my recent diagnosis of diabetes last August, but God ensured me everything would work out and it has so far and I am trusting fully in him. I am super pumped to go to Ghana in just 1 month from now. I have been on several mission trips before within the United states, but never internationally, so that makes this trip that much more exciting being able to do God's work in a culture completely different from my own. Thank you everyone for your support and I cannot wait to see what awaits our team in Africa!

Hey Guys! My name is Amy, i'm 19 and just finshed my freshman year at Sterling. The start of my first year in college has been surrounded with opportunities to serve God; one opportunity was to be on the Ghana mission team.

Last summer, God greatly laid on my heart the desire to go on a Sterling mission trip, specifically Africa. When Ghana presented itself, I could not say no. My late Uncle Larry was a missionary in Nigeria and started a church, which my family still keeps in contact with. He died before I was born, and i am sad to not receive a chance to meet him personally. I would have greatly enjoyed learning and talking to him about his missionary work in Nigeria, therefore I am eager to experience a similar experience in Ghana; to see God work through myself and the mission team!


Our team recently went through ropes training. We were able to work together in solving tasks to prepare us for situations that may arise when we are in Ghana. I love all my teamates, and i'm very thankful that God put me on a team with such amazing leaders! Love Ya'll :)
