Mercy's Story

Mercy was a little girl when she was chosen to become a Trokosi slave. Her grandmother had stolen some beads, and according to the Trokosi practice, Mercy needed to atone for the sins of her family. Mercy was taken from her family to live in a world where she was regularly sexually and physically abused by the fetish priest.

Thankfully, I.N. Network is committed to ending the Trokosi practice. After years of suffering, Mercy became one of over 3,500 young women to be freed from slavery. Mercy now works with I.N. Network, traveling to remote villages in Ghana and helping other girls experience the same freedom she now knows.

Ghana Medical Mission Trip

February 13 - 23, 2013

Why Go to Ghana?

  • Host clinics at rural villages and schools.
  • Join with medical and non medical support personnel to minister where there is little access to medical care.
  • Visit local villages to gain an understanding of their culture, and interact with the fetish priests and villagers.
  • Get to know at-risk women getting a new start at the Adidome Vocational Training Center.
  • Visit one of the I.N. Network schools and meet the children.

How Will I Make a Difference?

Imagine this: because you were born in a rural area in Ghana, you have never been to see a doctor. If there was a doctor in the area, you could not afford a visit even if your life depended on it. There is no credit. There is no health insurance. There are no choices.

I.N. Network Medical Mission teams bring the love of Jesus Christ to these rural areas through medical care. In just two weeks, a medical team can transform the lives of over 2,500 people!

*Trip cost includes round trip airfare and taxes from Atlanta, accommodations, meals, visa, and travel/health insurance. Does not include meals en-route or immunizations. I.N. Network makes every effort to keep costs at the stated level, but final trip cost depends on airfare at time of booking.


Meeting Your Sponsored Child

One of the experiences that means so much to team members is getting to meet their sponsored child while they are in Ghana. If you sponsor a child in Ghana we will do everything in our power to set up a meeting.

If you don't currently sponsor a child in Ghana, give it some prayerful thought! This sponsorship relationship is very special and meeting your child is a once-in-a-lifetime experience! For more information about sponsoring a child click here.

 

Funding Your Trip

I.N. Network USA is committed to help team members fund their trips. Sample support letters, along with support cards and Trokosi info, are available for team members to send out to friends and family. Past team members have been able to raise the full amount for their trips by being strategic in asking for help and following up with friends and family. Support can be sent to the I.N. Network USA office in Zeeland, Michigan.

Here's how it works: support that is sent in for your trip is directly credited to your account. Your supporters receive a receipt for tax purposes. I.N. Network USA is a 501(c)(3) ministry and all trip support is 100% tax deductible.
