Furlough

Since being released from medical leave on August 1st, I am officially on “furlough” ministry. ABWE describes furlough ministry as “a time for raising additional funds as needed, mobilizing new teammates, meeting with Member Care for a debrief, and addressing other family or ministry needs that may arise. A healthy furlough experience will allow youContinue reading “Furlough”

Here we go!

Praise God, I was officially released from medical leave on August 1st. This was two months prior than anyone (including myself) could have dreamed I would be ready. My recovery continues to go great and I feel good and back to “normal”. I am jumping in and catching up on lots of computer work whileContinue reading “Here we go!”

10 yrs

Picture memories are wonderful! Today I was reminded that 10 yrs ago I was appointed with ABWE and officially started this career missionary journey to The Gambia. 2 days ago I was able to have dinner with friends who were in that candidate class with me 10 yrs ago. Praise God, they continue to faithfullyContinue reading “10 yrs”

Making Progress

I am not missing Rupert (my brace) and I am making great progress with water aerobics, exercises and stretches. So far, I am doing well at finding the balance of not overdoing it. Continue to pray for wisdom in that. As I continue to get stronger and be able to walk a little further IContinue reading “Making Progress”

Baby Steps

Taking things slowly and making tiny amounts of progress has been the theme of my life for the last 2 months since the accident on March 20th. However, it is important to remind myself of the baby steps that I am making and the victories. The first day after I was discharged from the hospitalContinue reading “Baby Steps”

Love and Care

I find myself saying over and over that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. My church family is taking amazing care of me and a great aide in my recovery. I feel abundantly loved and cared for each day. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to each of you whoContinue reading “Love and Care”

Another year

If a month ago someone had told me I would be celebrating my 52nd birthday in London with my friend Ruth I would have said you were crazy! 1 month ago my life and plans looked very different than how they look right now. I was excited and looking forward to some great things inContinue reading “Another year”

What is Health? (share your responses)

Over the last few weeks, the questions “What is Health? What Does it Mean to be Healthy?” have been bouncing around in my heart and mind. My new role in Community Development and Health focuses on sharing, teaching, opening eyes to Wholistic Health and how we can work together using God given resources to beContinue reading “What is Health? (share your responses)”

Independence

Today marks 60 years since The Gambia gained independence. As the country celebrates it’s Diamond Jubilee join the Evangelical Church of The Gambia in praying for this Nation today at 1pm EST. Pray for Christ to reign in this place, pray for continued religious freedom, pray for our leadership, pray for the lost around us.

Work

This week the theme of growing, stretching and trying new things continued. Anyone in ministry will tell you that your “work” is very loosely defined, very flexible and basically wherever and however God opens a door you strive to follow. This means the days may be long, the days may be hard, the days mayContinue reading “Work”
