I am so happy to announce that the time has come for me to return to Africa. I will be joining Mercy Ships, on the ship the Africa Mercy, in Monrovia, Liberia in May and will remain with the organization for one year. This trip out will be my first time in the field as a long-term “career” missionary. I look forward to the experiences and memories I will make, the lives I will touch and be touched by and the chance to have God use my life overseas.
I would like to thank all of the people and families who have supported me and joined me in this ministry to Africa. I would not be able to live and work abroad without the encouragement and giving of others. Please remember that you are as much a part of this and every trip as I am. Thank you now and forever!
For now I will continue to do all the horrible prep work: unpacking and repacking all of my stuff until I decide what stays and goes and making sure it all fits away nicely. And getting shots...those stink the most, but are worth it (getting sick or quarantined would not be fun!).
