Greetings from the Gambia! We arrived safely on Friday and had a wonderful weekend, including worship on Sunday at the Evangelical Church of the Gambia. The worship was great; what a privilege to worship and serve the Lord Jesus Christ together with these sisters and brothers. Also, our ministry partner, Helen, graciously welcomed us to her family’s home for lunch after church.
Our week-long training started today, including biblical, health, and micro-enterprise skills. This training will equip at least 70 women leaders from various ministries and churches throughout the Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo. We are grateful for this amazing opportunity to build our ministry partnerships within this region.
Praise Reports:
- Long but safe journey to the Gambia!
- Beautiful accommodations.
- Deep times of prayer for and with one another.
- Team building and excellent preparation with our training team.
- Development of partnership model with African ministry partners’ input.
- And just for fun, we visited the westernmost point of Gambia jetting out into the Atlantic ocean!
Prayer Requests:
- First day of training!
