Bit by bit. It seems that’s the way God usually unfolds His plans for me. No five-year road maps, just one step at a time. Sometimes it sounds like it would be nice to know the whole plan…
But here are the plans so far: Lord willing, I’ll be leaving next September (2013) for West Africa. First, I will spend 1 1/2 – 2 years in Senegal studying French and learning West African culture before beginning a ministry. (Although ministry in its truest sense should begin “the minute I step out of the plane”, as one of my teachers used to say.)
What ministry? I don’t know yet.
Which West African country will I serve in? I don’t know that yet, either.
How’s that for vague?! I do know that God will be as faithful to lead me in the future as He has in the past, and I’m excited to share that with you – even if it’s just a little bit at a time.
