Fall, 2014
Learning about God’s character through
historical figures and miracles has always
held a fascination for me. But being the
main characters ourselves is truly a life-
changer. Few stories are woven over-
night; rather, they unfold one step at a
time. Our journey toward Ghana has
seemed to take us to the Red Sea, not
knowing where to turn, but it has become
a lesson in faith, waiting for the Lord to
open up the path. There have been few
words from us along the journey, for
which we apologize, as we seemed to hit
one wall after another, not knowing which
way to turn next. But we are now seeing
the path through the sea!
Our grateful thanks to those who have
prayed with us through this journey, and
the many who have faithfully supported
us as we have waited on Him to make
His way clear!!
I woke up this morning
Saw a world full of trouble now
Thought, how'd we ever get so far
down
How's it ever gonna turn around
So I turned my eyes to Heaven
I thought, "God, why don't You do
something?"
Well, I just couldn't bear the thought
of
People living in poverty
Children sold into slavery
The thought disgusted me
So, I shook my fist at Heaven
Said, "God, why don't You do some-
thing?"He said,
"I did, I created you"
Chorus:
If not us, then who
If not me and you
Right now, it's time for us to do
something
If not now, then when
Will we see an end
To all this pain
It's not enough to do nothing
It's time for us to do something
What are our plans?? “Do Something!”
By Matthew West
Our departure is
set for January
10th, 2015. We
will land in Accra
where we will as-
sist the Ghanaian
staff with opera-
tions at the
WAMM Childrens
Home; seek to
establish a haven
for unexpectedly
expectant young
women; and seek
other opportunities
with West African
Mercy Ministries,
to bring hope to
the helpless. We
are also looking
forward to
teaming with William, an evangelist native to the slums of Accra, as
he holds kids’ clubs in and near the city slums to extend God’s mercy
through hope in Jesus. As Matthew West’s song suggests, it is not
enough to verbally care about the needy without taking action. It
seems we have been chosen to be His hands and feet there!
What are we waiting for?
We have seen God sell our Whitewater home in three days, and
our log home after waiting over six years! Now as we move
forward we have an offer from a Ghanaian couple to live in
their 3-bedroom/3-bath home for free!! All that remains is to
wait for His provision for partners who are unable to go them-
selves, but who will enable us to do so through their support.
Will you pray for us, please?? (We need about $2,200/month
of additional regular monthly commitments, plus about
$20,000 start up funds for travel, medicines, household sup-
plies and furnishings, water well, etc.) Also, please pray that
the Ebola virus will be stopped!
Thank you ahead for any prayers and gifts you desire and are
able to help us with!
Your Friends, Gary and Kathy Wetzel
