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”
Shift, pivot, stop and go
Life and ministry are always changing and when you live in West Africa the crazy WAWA challenges make things even more likely to change. This past weekend was supposed to be a routine grocery run where we head to the city on a Friday and return home to the village on a Monday. In theContinue reading “Shift, pivot, stop and go”
Ngente
I hope you clicked on this post to find out what “ngente”, a very important Wolof word means. Our language learning process is called Language Acquisition Made Practical (LAMP method) and that means you self direct and learn what you specifically need to learn. Early on it was important to learn what “ngente” meant sinceContinue reading “Ngente”
School

Thank you for praying and partnering in this ministry, thank you for taking the time to read these blogs and for thinking of us serving here in this little country. This week and next (November 25th – DecemberContinue reading “Thankful”
GPS
Recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a training for our new Community Development Ministry. This training was near the urban area and at a place I had never been before. Praise God a teammate offered to join me on day #1 so we could try to find the training center together. There areContinue reading “GPS”
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)
“Extra”
(picture is not from this ferry crossing, praise God it was not that busy) The last several weeks life and ministry have been “extra” which can be defined as excessive or extravagant. After a few rough weeks in the village my teammate and I were in need of a break in the city and itContinue reading ““Extra””
