Dwight and Susan Potter share their unexpected and meaningful journey as mission leaders in Ghana.

When friends serving as mission leaders in Ghana encouraged Dwight and Susan Potter to submit their mission papers, they didn't hesitate. But the path that followed turned out to be very different from what they expected. In this episode, the Potters share how their willingness to say "yes" led to an unexpected and deeply meaningful journey—one they wouldn't change for anything. 1:46- A Young Missionary to Belgium 3:05- A Change of Plans 5:39- Finding What the Lord Knew All Along 10:55- The Language of Love 14:26- Miracles Have Not Ceased 30:07- Smiling Faces and Grateful Hearts 32:38- The Experience of a Senior Mission 36:03- A Window of Time 40:37- What Does It Mean to Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
