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”

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”
Prayer Seeking
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”
Sky High
This last week has been full of many exciting ministry opportunities and adventures. Thanks for your prayers. I hope you enjoy these fun sky high views of the ferry and urban area of The Gambia. (photo credit My Gambia)
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”
Be still and know I am God
After living in The Gambia for 8 years I have developed certain rhythms that help me to abide in the Lord. Saturday mornings I let myself sleep in a bit and then head outside under my mango tree for a slow morning. This time includes a couple cups of coffee, a lot of prayer andContinue reading “Be still and know I am God”
Looking for Opportunities
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”
