Well, the end is in sight. Two more days until the Mercy Project Art Auction, and we could not be more excited. We have some really amazing things planned to share with the 164 attendees. All the last minute preparations are coming together, and it's going to be a great evening of celebrating the things God has been doing through Mercy Project.
"Last minute preparations" equates to finishing a painting for me. I haven't quite wrapped this one up, but here's a little glimpse at what I've been up to. The piece is about the transformation that we desire for each child on the lake in Ghana. Hopefully it will all come together tonight... or tomorrow...

Speaking of Ghana, we leave two weeks from today for our next trip! We're taking a group of 15 over this time around to help implement the next economic development project. This will be our first run at aquaculture as well as in our first village with trafficked kids, Adovepke. The second half of the week will be spent working/teaching/playing at a children's rehabilitation shelter where the kids will go when they come off the lake.
Each day leading up to the trip, all our group members are reading and reflecting on Micah 6:6-8. A verse I've read so many times and yet is still as powerful as the first time I heard it. If you've never had a child recite this verse to you, find one you can teach it to; it'll provide a new perspective and change the way you think about learning to be a person of justice and mercy.
