About Us

Back in the day, the old-days of the New Testament, it was honorable to be a disciple. It was so honorable, in fact, that a disciple would leave everything: house, friends, and family to learn to be exactly like the rabbi. During these times a blessing developed: “May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi.” Right out of college, two girls decided to pursue the call to teaching in Africa. They invite you to join their words and thoughts as they shake the dust of their chacos off on their blog, hoping to reveal to you all that God is revealing to them.

This is really happening

Our tickets were purchased!

Jamie and will I depart from Chicago the last Monday in August. We don't have as long of a layover in London as we were hoping for, but that is okay!  We'll arrive in Ghana on Tuesday August 30th.

The cool part is that we are flying British Air through a missions organization. So- Elsie is coming with me on board!  


We'll keep you updated!

*Edit: We are also compiling an email list of those who want periodic email updates while we are in Ghana.  If you'd like to be added to the list, please send an email to abena.abina@gmail.com

In Ghana, names are given based on the day of the week you were born. Jamie and I were lucky enough to both be "Tuesday" babies. The words for Tuesday are either "abena" or "abina."  And, yes, that is how the email "abena.abina@gmail.com" was formed.
