HEART<br />
for<br />
GHANA<br />
Janice Wong<br />
y heart for missions began during my first short-term missions trip to<br />
M Ghana, West Africa in 2009. I experienced the transformative power<br />
of the gospel message amidst human brokenness and suffering. God began<br />
stirring a deep desire in my heart for the people in this community in Northern<br />
Ghana to know His transformative and life-changing presence. As the<br />
years went by, I continued to take part in short-term missions trips, visiting<br />
the same communities in Ghana, all the while seeking God’s direction for my<br />
life. I had a deep sense that He was preparing the way for a move into fulltime<br />
ministry in Ghana with the local church.<br />
During this time, God ever-so-graciously prepared me as I wrestled with Him<br />
about what the cost of discipleship for the sake of the gospel truly meant<br />
in my life. Each year, as I returned to Canada from Ghana, I left more of my<br />
heart with the people there as God continued to overwhelm me with His<br />
incomprehensible love for me.<br />
‘As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him<br />
and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked,<br />
“what must I do to inherit eternal life?”’<br />
