Pray for election peace in Ghana

We would like to thank you for your support of YLI in 2008 and wish you a tremendous 2009.

2008 was a very exciting year for us as a ministry family, and there are some specific plans emerging for 2009 that we are very excited to share with you soon!

But there is something much more important for us to be praying for over the next couple of weeks. Ghana is in the midst of a very tight month long presidential

election and tensions are becoming heightened in certain parts of the country. Our coach Eric (in the northern town of Bawku) told me he heard gunshots Monday night as a result of the political tension related to this election.

Ghana has the opportunity to show itself as a leader in democratic success in Africa. Our coaches have stressed to me that we need to be praying that "God's man" wins and that peace prevails. For a good BBC news article regarding the election follow this link. So, let's all be praying.

Blessings to you!

Ash, Fran, Jim and Rhonda
