Back to the Gambia

Hello all,
I can barely wait to step on the plane... less than a week away and the world seems to be spinning a little faster than usual. Lists spill out of my mind into my notepad as days rip off the calander like the wrapping paper of an 8 year old boy's Christmas presents. Hopes and fears collide navigating what has at best been a turbulent fall in preparation for this trip however, as Apostle Paul addresses the Romans...

We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.... as who can separate us from the love of Christ? Will trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? ... No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

... and this hope may realistically be all that has held me together through some of these days - and oddly enough that excites me and I hopefully some of that excitement spills over to you as well.

This will be my official site for my updates over the next 4 months in the Gambia. Please bookmark or sign up for the RSS feed. Feel free to post-up your comments or send them to my email::

Hi friend!

I heard through the grapevine you were heading off to The Gambia again . . . :o)
I had no idea it was so soon - it would have been nice to see you before you left. Anyway, I stumbled across your blog again and will be sure to keep myself updated. I'll be praying too of course. Blessings Mike!
