One of my favorite ways to partner with you is by sharing the ins and outs of daily life as I walk through this journey God has called me to. This page is a brief glimpse into my heart, mind, and soul as I experience sharing the Gospel in The Gambia, one day at a time.
There are two ways to best keep up with life in the Gambia. First is by subscribing to life in the Gambia blog, which you can do here:
