A lot of Weight!
The saints in Ghana display what their physical training
has accomplished. Emphasis is put on physical training to handle the harsh conditions
of Ghana, and also to help discipline their bodies for spiritual work.
A group of Overcomers!
A great group of young men. The physical training also
is a great time of fellowship for these men.
Coach encourages the competitors!
Jeff Hostetter, with a long history of weight lifting and
training experience, runs the competition. Jeff is a great example of
physical and spiritual discipline.
Getting ready to lift
A group of lifters take a break before the next lift.
Coach in training
Jeremiah Hostetter spots a lifter moving some heavy weight. Jeremiah himself,
being an experienced weightlifter, can lift
quite a bit of weight.
Great Lift!
A young lady performs a dead lift of over 200 pounds!
Buffeting the body
One of the great things about weightlifting is that it is a
personal sport. You compete against others, but the goal is to just lift more today than
yesterday, much like the Christian walk is to do better today than yesterday.
Alyssa Osebreh
Alyssa Osebreh, another visitor who chose to stay
and make her life in Ghana, completes
a deadlift.
Encouraging one another!
Part of lifting weights is encouraging others to push themselves to do more.
Encouragement and Fellowship
Great attitudes!
The future looks bright!
