Today is a rest day as we transition to doing medical camps among the Maasai people. We ate dinner last night with Gospel workers who are going with us, the wife is a primary care doctor and is in the process of getting her medical license in TZ. It was refreshing and encouraging to hear… Read more

I appreciated your prayers today- it was an impactful day for me and for the team. (We now have two sick which means I will likely stay behind tomorrow to provide them support). It’s going to take a while to process all I heard and saw today. I’ve seen and experienced a lot in my… Read more

Today was better than yesterday, which is saying something! We saw many children who were very sick (pneumonia). Our national partners were able to have significant spiritual conversations.

Everything went smoothly except the rest of the team had several flight delays and didn’t get here until this morning. They will push through today without sleep in the hopes… Read more

I have been thinking and talking about it for months; praying for it and for all that we… Read more

It’s been curious for sure… as we began the Covid shutdown, I began a program of study to become a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, not realizing at the time that the coming years would see the demand for PMHNPs increase so dramatically. But here we are. And I have just completed my MSN and now awaiting… Read more
