The Peanut Farmer
I have become a peanut farmer. Salif and Simon, two members of our church, asked me if I wanted to farm with them this year. Sure, why not. While Jason Rishel was with us, he helped to plant the two acres. Today, I went to pick up about half of the peanuts. We are waiting for hopefully another rain. If not, we will lose the other half. I did this to be a help to Salif and Simon and to also show an example as we will give our tithe off of what God has given us. Here are a few pictures. The kids enjoyed helping also.
Looks like a Georgia redneck in Africa. Yes, the back of the car is absolutely full. We have no machinery, all done by hand.

That would be a Georgia Bulldog redneck if you are going to claim the name.

Hi there!
The photo of the harvest is VERY impressive!
I am thrilled to have found your blog since I am planning to arrive in Accra in the later part of November! I will live in Ghana for a year while I am starting a nonprofit. I am very excited!
I started a blog to serve as my online diary while I am there! http://thefisherofmen.blogspot.com
The Lord has so many things in store and I am bursting with anticipation! I hope to meet all of the brothers and sisters in Christ from the U.S. when I arrive!
Blessings,
“Paul”
(ah yes, a woman nicknamed Paul! Long story! *giggles*)
