Prayers and Praises

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.

Heating up

No one told me that the weather would be pleasant living in rural West Africa, but most of the time you can do things to help alleviate the uncomfortableness. This time of year tends to be the hottest temperatures with winds from the Sahara Desert and temperatures as high as 110’s or even up toContinue reading “Heating up”

God goes before us, prayers needed

The last week has been a whirlwind and I have yet to come up for breath. I am praising God as His hand has been so evident in all of the things that I saw as challenges and His desire has been so clearly revealed. I will share more details when things settle down, butContinue reading “God goes before us, prayers needed”

Pray Without Ceasing

As I sit here in the US I am thinking of and praying for my Gambian friends who will begin the Muslim month of fasting in the next few days (depends on the moon). This is a difficult time for Gambian believers, for our team and other Christian workers around the world in Muslim countriesContinue reading “Pray Without Ceasing”

Celebrate

Today has been a beautiful day of celebration on many levels and I am so grateful to be in the US celebrating with my amazing West Cabarrus Church family. A large part of my furlough ministry time is re-connecting with my sending church and God is really blessing me by providing many opportunities to doContinue reading “Celebrate”
