As some of you may remember 1 ½ years ago I shared some new directions in ministry that I was going to be able to be a part of. I described the new ministry directions using the proverb “Give a man a fish – he has food for a day, teach a man to fishContinue reading “Perspective”

Pray for the people of The Gambia
It is wonderful being back and serving in The Gambia. Each day I look for opportunities to come alongside of my Gambian friends and neighbors and shine the light of Christ in some small way. Many evenings or early mornings as I sit and reflect on my day and as I pray and give thanksContinue reading “Pray for the people of The Gambia”
Back to School
After time settling back into life in The Gambia and resuming work on our residential property this week marked the beginning of full-time work in the new ministry. I am exploring and organizing my new office while connecting with the employees. Our cleaners did a great job as the office has been vacant for overContinue reading “Back to School”
Gifts
I have been back in The Gambia for about a month and am settling in well. Since my return a lot of my time has been spent reconnecting with our employees, my Gambian friends and my Gambian family (I am named after a Gambian woman and therefore a part of her family). I have spentContinue reading “Gifts”
Sounds of The Gambia
A friend who was a missionary overseas for many years shortly before my return to The Gambia asked me if there was a unique smell in The Gambia that made me remember I was home.

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”
New Beginnings
Just two more days until I begin the long travels back to The Gambia and I am ready. I even have a new travel mug all packed for the long journey. If you have been following my blogs for a while you have read about my previous travel mug and how the Lord brought itContinue reading “New Beginnings”
Sweet blessings
I just finished a busy, but wonderful 2 week long road trip to wrap up my time in the US. I was able to visit with many people and reconnect with some whom I had not seen in years. I truly experienced the joys of Christian fellowship and am grateful to the Lord for theContinue reading “Sweet blessings”
Fellowship and Campfires
As I wrap up things here in the US and say many “see-you laters” I am doing a lot of reflecting on my time here. If you keep up with my blog posts you will probably see a theme, many of my posts may be similar. I am so grateful for all of the wonderfulContinue reading “Fellowship and Campfires”
