Lessons Learned

Excerpt from GhanaGram, October 2008 - February 2009, Dan and Brenda McVey:

We cannot begin to enumerate the lessons learned, the victories enjoyed, the defeats endured. What we have learned might be summarized in two points:

1. Our loving Father is bigger, broader, greater than anything we can imagine, and his creation is a reflection of his love, unity and diversity. This makes life worth living with uplifted eyes for each day's adventures. ... "more than we can think or imagine ..."

2. Love is the Way of Christ, no substitutes, no parallels, no competitors. Love is the will of God. The freedom of choice given to humankind is the freedom to choose love. No expression of faith or faithfulness is meaningful in any measure without love. Effectiveness, efficiency, productivity, success, reaching goals, accomplishing great things, 'church growth', etc, nothing means anything without the foundation of and expression of love ... "By this shall all people know you are my disciples. ..."
