Looooong story short around the month of December 2010, he accepted an opportunity to train as a Police Officer in West Texas.

What I have come to realize in my life and in working in ministry is that when God's hand is at work and He begins something, through us, He continues it to completion. When we answered the call to begin a work in Ghana we knew that we knew that we knew it was a direct mission from above. Plans were made and before we knew it in a year's time, we were there.
