After a quick grocery run into the city and purchasing some supplies for our adult literacy classes, I am back in the village and things have been in high gear for our training that begins TODAY. 5 Gambian facilitators from 5 nearby villages will spend the next two weeks with us.

Prayer Meeting
One of the beautiful and essential routines we have here is a Wednesday night prayer meeting. Wednesday afternoon and evenings are set aside for time with the Lord and time to gather together in prayer. Scripture speaks of the Lord being present when two or three are gathered in His name. Although there are onlyContinue reading “Prayer Meeting”
Language and Culture
When I first moved to The Gambia in 2016 and started full time language learning, I was told that the goal was to help me to become a lifelong language learner. I am always learning and experiencing something new and as I tip toe into this new ministry the learning curve is very steep. IContinue reading “Language and Culture”
ABWE Family
One of the core values of ABWE is cultivating a biblical family atmosphere. The ABWE family is large and spread throughout the world. We are all prayerfully working together in over 60 countries to shine the light of Christ. A few months ago, right before my return to the US I had the opportunity toContinue reading “ABWE Family”
Harvest
I hear that Fall has arrived in the US with crisp cool mornings and trees turning amazing colors. Trees don’t turn colors here although some drop their leaves. However, I don’t like it when the leaves drop because that means nice piles for the deadly snakes to hide under. And, as rainy season is wrappingContinue reading “Harvest”

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. Senses are such a powerful thing and although there are not many smells that make me think of this littleContinue reading “Sounds of The Gambia”
