Who am I?
I'm a Missionary Teacher.
I'm a Missionary Teacher.
Sometimes I say that and it doesn't feel real.
How is it possible?
It
seems like just yesterday that I was 18 years old, living at home with
my parents and hearing God clearly telling me to follow Him to the
mission field.
It
seems like just yesterday that I was 19 years old, sitting at dinner
somewhere in South Africa, while on a short-term mission trip and
hearing God clearly telling me that I would be back in Africa again one
day.
It
seems like just yesterday that I was 23, fresh out of college, working
in my first teaching position, and hearing God clearly telling me to
apply to teach at a school for missionary kids in Senegal.
It seems like just yesterday that at 1 week shy of my 24th birthday, I landed for the first time in Dakar, Senegal, and immediately felt as if I were "home."
It seems like just yesterday that at 1 week shy of my 24th birthday, I landed for the first time in Dakar, Senegal, and immediately felt as if I were "home."
And here I am today, still teaching at that same school in Senegal.
I love what I do.
I teach an incredible group of kids.
My mission field is my classroom.
This year, I have 5 full-time students (and others who come in part-time), from 5 different countries, from both Christian and non-Christian families.
And while I teach the usual Math and Science and Reading...
I also teach more.
I teach the Bible.
I teach the TRUTH and PROMISES of our Savior.
I teach the love of Jesus.
I teach the power of our Heavenly Father.
I teach some who have never heard the Good News before coming to our school.
I teach some whose parents are freed up while their kids are in school to take the gospel to our Senegalese brothers and sisters who have yet to hear the Good News.
I pray.
I teach.
I love.
I do what God called me to do.
I am a Missionary Teacher.

P.S. Did you know today is Giving Tuesday?
The only way I continue what I'm doing is through incredible generosity of men and women from around the world, who sacrificially give to support my ministry.
Would you prayerfully consider giving to support my ministry in Senegal?
If you feel led to give, there are a few different options for doing so...

* If you would like to join my prayer team and to receive updates about my ministry, send me an email and I'll add you to my mailing list.
