Ministry Updates

Preparation

The Amazon packages are coming in, the travel is picking up and soon the packing will begin for my return to The Gambia in late July. The time has flown by and I am looking forward to my return and exploring the open doors for the new ministry that the Lord is providing. I hopeContinue reading “Preparation”

Fruit

As I prepare to return to The Gambia at the end of July I am soaking up as much time with the Lord as possible. To produce good fruit in life and in ministry we must be full to overflowing with the love of Christ. God has brought some wonderful reminders of that in toContinue reading “Fruit”

New Life

I cannot believe it has been a month since my last blog post, sorry. The last month has been full of travel, trainings and time with the Lord. This week as I looked at my calendar I was tired and needed to slow down and rest with God. What better time to take a deepContinue reading “New Life”

Video update #2, how can you help?

If you missed it, make sure to watch the first video for information on the new directions the Lord is leading us. Thank you for praying for The Gambia ministry and for your partnership in sharing the gospel to the people of The Gambia and beyond. As we are entering this new season and newContinue reading “Video update #2, how can you help?”

What God has been doing, is doing and where we see Him moving in The Gambia

I have now been in the US for a month and after a time of rest and refilling I am spending a lot of time re-connecting with my church family and many of you in North Carolina. Thank you all for your prayers. This last season has been difficult, but I believe that there isContinue reading “What God has been doing, is doing and where we see Him moving in The Gambia”

Transition

I have used the word transition hundreds of times over the last few weeks. Our teammate Deb Newsome who served in The Gambia for many years transitioned to be with the Lord in heaven this past week after a long battle with cancer. Praise God for many gospel opportunities as we shared with her GambianContinue reading “Transition”

All hands on deck

Praise God, we have lots of workers who help out here on our large property. We had to call most of them in to action to respond to a true WAWA (West Africa Wins Again) situation. It was definitely all hands on deck to help. It all started when one of the house workers justContinue reading “All hands on deck”

Inventory

Any of you out there still do manual inventories or at least remember how challenging they can be? This week the big “to-do” was a manual inventory of EVERYTHING in the clinic. Praise God, I had a teammate and her teen daughter come help. When I say everything, I really do mean that. I don’tContinue reading “Inventory”

This is missionary life

Sometimes I chuckle that this is actually my day to day life. I thank God for all of the opportunities and the relationships to share His good news and to shine the light of Christ in this dark place. If you have been reading along you have heard all of the to-do’s that have beenContinue reading “This is missionary life”

Industrious

As I sat trying to think of a theme or a word that summed up the last few weeks of life and ministry here in The Gambia, “industrious” seemed the most appropriate. It has been a very busy few weeks with lots going on. Praise God, I did have some helpers here. Things are inContinue reading “Industrious”
