Peggy Ozment and her husband Pascal (Pat) have been living in Tamale, Ghana for almost a year now. Pat is a lecturer at the Baptist Theological Seminary and Peggy has been working as librarian. I posted photos of the Ozments and the seminary last week.
I interviewed Peggy a couple weeks ago so that she could talk about the work she and Pat are doing. It isn’t every retired senior citizen that is willing to move to West Africa to start a ministry so what she has to say is quite interesting.
