The sixth grade was the first time I truly came to the realization that there were individuals, both in my own community and overseas who had never heard of the Father and experienced His love. Since then, I have felt the Father drawing me to the nations; my desire is that other people can know Him the way that I do! This time in West Africa will be a wonderful time of sharing Truth, building relationships, and learning about culture. As I prepare to go long-term in the future, I know that this upcoming four months in West Africa will be touching and impactful. I am so overwhelmed that the Father has chosen me and called me to share the Good News in this place. I am so excited to have the opportunity to share Truth and build relationships with the Senegalese people!
