Bottom of the class
Thank you to all who are praying for our Adult Literacy facilitator training that wraps up on Friday. The last two weeks have been exciting and exhausting. There have been many wonderful conversations and great questions about the biblical teachings. It has been very interesting to see the ways that they teach the alphabet, numbers,Continue reading “Bottom of the class”
Prep and prayer
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. Some will travel daily,Continue reading “Prep and prayer”
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”
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”
Rain, rain go away, come again another day
It is rainy season in The Gambia and that means it is hot, humid and we have thunderstorms most days. When I flew into the country I was pleased that everything was so green. This is our only growing season for crops and a good harvest is a key to survival. After a good amountContinue reading “Rain, rain go away, come again another day”
