Missions With the Consfords

Ghana Field Journal — Serving the Lord for Over 25 Years

These daily journal entries document the Consfords’ missionary life across Ivory Coast and Ghana. Over 1,630 entries capture the church planting, the hard days, the answered prayers, and the everyday reality of following God wherever He leads. Browse the full archive or join the Consfords as a prayer partner.

Danny’s class came back in with their caps and gowns.  They did some more things that they had learned – special sounds, poems, etc.  Danny recited a poem entitled “Shoes” by Tom Robinson.  We were not allowed to take pictures during their performance because people kept walking up to take pictures, and it was a distraction.  We could take them at the beginning and then at the end.
They handed out a few awards before they gave out the K-5 diplomas.  Gilbert won one of the two Christian Character awards for the whole school.  Danny started to cry because he thought he was not going to get a paper.

Madame Selina, Danny’s teacher, got teacher-of-the-year award.  Danny jumped out of his seat to cheer for her.  He really likes his teacher!!
