Rain, rain go away, come again another day

It is rainy season in The Gambia and that means it is hot, humid and we have thunderstorms most days. When I flew into the country I was pleased that everything was so green. This is our only growing season for crops and a good harvest is a key to survival. After a good amountContinue reading “Rain, rain go away, come again another day”

Back in The Gambia

After 33 hrs of travel, I made it to our guesthouse in The Gambia last evening. A quick bite to eat, a long and very needed shower, and some major rehydration were enjoyed before a great night’s sleep. This morning I awoke feeling refreshed and happy to be back. It will still be about aContinue reading “Back in The Gambia”

Grateful

The last week has been full of great fellowship and wonderful, peaceful time with the Lord. I was reminded yesterday morning yet again of how many people are a part of this ministry and a part of my life and how the Lord is working in it. Truly, there is a village that is prayingContinue reading “Grateful”

Visitors

In The Gambia life and ministry is all about sitting, chatting and just being with others. I have really enjoyed the many opportunities to sit, chat, share and pray with many of you during this time in the US. I am especially grateful for West Cabarrus Church and the beautiful mission house here that hasContinue reading “Visitors”

Fruit

As I prepare to return to The Gambia at the end of July I am soaking up as much time with the Lord as possible. To produce good fruit in life and in ministry we must be full to overflowing with the love of Christ. God has brought some wonderful reminders of that in toContinue reading “Fruit”
