Picture memories are wonderful! Today I was reminded that 10 yrs ago I was appointed with ABWE and officially started this career missionary journey to The Gambia. 2 days ago I was able to have dinner with friends who were in that candidate class with me 10 yrs ago. Praise God, they continue to faithfullyContinue reading “10 yrs”

Making Progress
I am not missing Rupert (my brace) and I am making great progress with water aerobics, exercises and stretches. So far, I am doing well at finding the balance of not overdoing it. Continue to pray for wisdom in that. As I continue to get stronger and be able to walk a little further IContinue reading “Making Progress”
Baby Steps
Taking things slowly and making tiny amounts of progress has been the theme of my life for the last 2 months since the accident on March 20th. However, it is important to remind myself of the baby steps that I am making and the victories. The first day after I was discharged from the hospitalContinue reading “Baby Steps”
Love and Care
I find myself saying over and over that I am exactly where I am supposed to be. My church family is taking amazing care of me and a great aide in my recovery. I feel abundantly loved and cared for each day. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to each of you whoContinue reading “Love and Care”
Another year
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”
What is Health? (share your responses)
Over the last few weeks, the questions “What is Health? What Does it Mean to be Healthy?” have been bouncing around in my heart and mind. My new role in Community Development and Health focuses on sharing, teaching, opening eyes to Wholistic Health and how we can work together using God given resources to beContinue reading “What is Health? (share your responses)”
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”
Here goes nothing!
I knew when moving into Community Development and Community Health Ministry this would involve agriculture in some manner. God has provided us with abundant resources and for wholistic health we must tap into those. I do NOT have a green thumb, I am NOT a gardener or farmer, I am NOT fit enough to doContinue reading “Here goes nothing!”
Investment Opportunities
This post has nothing to do with finances. I am talking about Kingdom investments, relationship investments, gospel investments. Much of my day here is spent seeking opportunities to invest more in those around me and to point to the greatest investment of all, Faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Last week, God openedContinue reading “Investment Opportunities”
