XXX Poolside Enterprise - Now 24/7

The missionaries definitely landed in Ghana. Maybe it's because there's no language barrier (most Ghanaians speak English) that the message got through better. We saw The Lord God all over the place in Ghana! For example, political signs tagged candidates as "god fearing", there was Dr. Jesus Prayer camp, Try Jesus Digital Photo Shop, some signs just had messages like God Time is the Best Time, God Power Fridge Doctors, and God is My Sherpherd. There were graphic signs depicting Christ on the cross. Most taxis had inspirational Christian messages on the back window, including I am covered in the blood of Christ.


It was definitely culture shock to see all of these messages as we drove through villages and cities! The ironic thing is that we found the Ghanaian people to be really unaccomodating and not very friendly. As an example, we had Togo license plates and registration stickers on the car. There were so many police checkpoints where we were stopped solely because we were either a car-full of white people or because we were from Togo. We were told several times how much better it was in Ghana than Togo as we were being harassed and interrogated about where we came from and where we were going.


Note: The Title of this post (XXX Poolside Enterprise - Now 24/7) is another of the signs that we saw on our drive. It was the name of a hotel, as far as we can tell.
