(The sun sets by 6:30 and then it\u2019s too dark to navigate the potholes in the road safely.) So we are spending the night at a guesthouse in Dambai, a scenic little town.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will try to post some photos of the town and my room at the bottom. (The owner of the guesthouse must have gotten a good deal on tile!)<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have limited internet, so I thought I better get back in the saddle, but I will need to keep it short.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This trip has answered all my questions about Mission Resource\u2019s work in Ghana and about the general effectiveness of microfinance as ministry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A week from now, God willing, I will be arriving back in Indiana. I am looking forward to seeing Melissa and the kids!<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But I can also honestly say I look forward to getting to work raising the funds we are going to need to keep Mission Resource growing here in Ghana.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/57C77A12-8F71-4D7A-8B4B-4DC3821BAF5C-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/8213A61A-1453-4B8C-91E2-1439EB3C628E-2-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/A3E4B969-DD9E-462C-AB73-CAE022722351-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/BBAF91E3-200A-4997-A1DC-406FB9A788AE-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"3024\" height=\"4032\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/C7A2497E-4FF4-4EA2-B46D-71964CC5E4EE-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/stevegrossblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/D55110A5-61D5-4BD9-A88D-199DE353789C-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today Emmanuel and I crossed Lake Volta on a ferry a bit too late in the day to continue traveling on.
