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”

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”
Thankful
As the American Thanksgiving Holiday time approaches, I want to take a moment and say thank you. 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”
Children
The Wolof word for child is “doom”. In my early language learning I was thrown when someone used the words for mango and child together. It sounded like they were saying “the child of the mango tree.” Guess what, that was what they were saying! Think about it, isn’t a fruit really the child orContinue reading “Children”
Off to the Races
Rainy season is slowing down which means harvest time is here. The millet crop is being cut and dried and is looking great, but the peanut crop still needs more rain. For the last several days young and old, male and female all pile onto the horsecart and take the journey to the fields toContinue reading “Off to the Races”
Exam time
Today starts a very busy few days for our workers and our literacy class students. Just like for many students in the US it is exam week! The new ministry vehicle will get some good use as class facilitators travel back and forth between different villages and our staff travel to each village to administerContinue reading “Exam time”
Different lenses
Having visitors in The Gambia is a lot of fun and a lot of hard work. Watching new people experience the culture, the people, the language, the food, the weather, the hospitality, the daily life and the spiritual need is always interesting. Ushering visitors through these experiences can be challenging, exhausting and rewarding. We tryContinue reading “Different lenses”
Boats
The Gambia is a very unique country geographically. We are the smallest land country on the entire continent of Africa and the country is divided in half by The Gambia River. I live on the North side of the river and the urban area is on the South side of the river. You have heardContinue reading “Boats”
Celebrating
Today is Koriteh in The Gambia, a day celebrating the end of the month of fasting. As I heard the call to prayer last night marking the breaking of the fast I let out a sigh of relief and many prayers for the lost around me. After 30 long and hungry days, Ramadan has comeContinue reading “Celebrating”
