Several years ago I was challenged to change my perspective on “Prayer Walking” to be one of “Prayer Seeking”. Instead of just praying as I walked, praying AND having my eyes up, my gaze forward, seeking opportunities to pray for people and share biblical truths. As our visiting team was here we had many opportunitiesContinue reading “Prayer Seeking”

Encouragement
As we ushered in 2025 our team in The Gambia was blessed by a visit from 4 ladies from LifePointe Church. This trip was designed to encourage our team, other Christian workers and National Believers. We still have a few days left with these wonderful ladies and I can already say I will miss them.Continue reading “Encouragement”
Christmas Rain
It is dry season in The Gambia which means our skin is cracked and sore despite putting on lotion 2-3 times per day, the air is crisp and cool, the cool shower before bedtime (no hot water heaters) is a shock to the system and leaves you shivering, and Christmas is near. Well, Christmas isContinue reading “Christmas Rain”

Praise
This week my teammate and I had the opportunity to meet with some Believers from another African country who have been ministering in nearby areas for several years. As we got to know this family and learned about their work we shared with them that there is no church here in our village. We alsoContinue reading “Praise”

This time includes a couple cups of coffee, a lot of prayer andContinue reading “Be still and know I am God”

Life and ministry in The Gambia is all about praying and seeking out opportunities to share biblical truths and pray with people in the name of Jesus. There is great religious tolerance here and my Gambian neighbors are very open to spiritual conversations and believe in the power of prayer. However, I must be prayingContinue reading “Looking for Opportunities”
I’m Back
July is a month where much of our ministry work pauses. It is the beginning of the rains and the Gambians are busy planting and working their farms. This is a season that allows us to take a little break and some much needed vacation. After some time away from my blog and from ministryContinue reading “I’m Back”
Circuits
A circuit is defined as “the path which is always required to get electricity to flow and do something useful.” Over the last few weeks, many things have broken on our property and there has been a lot of attention paid to circuits. Praise God, we have a short-term visitor who is an Engineering studentContinue reading “Circuits”
Signs of The Times
Living in a rural West African community where most people’s main source of income is farming you swiftly learn a lot about rain, seed, field preparation, fertilizer, and harvest. What makes farming even more challenging in this climate is that we have two seasons. Dry season lasts about 9 months out of the year withContinue reading “Signs of The Times”
