A small group of believers gather at our place for worship regularly.  God is building His church here in this Joola village and we are blessed to be a part! Believers meet together in our garage and we have just built an extension to make more space.  It makes a great play room too!   […]

What do people believe here?  Well, consider the first chapter of the book Paul wrote to the Romans…”professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image…they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator…” The traditional […]

2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.  We now have a vehicle!  We were able to find, after a long search, a used but in good condition seven seater, 4 […]

We are getting settled into our new home in the south of Senegal.  Our main ministry for the moment is to learn this language! Charles is Joola but from a different group so he has to go through all the same steps as I do for language study.  Thankfully, we have help.  One of our […]

God has blessed us with a sweet baby girl!  Selah Alinejiminku is calm and soaking up love from her brothers and grandparents these days.  We are blessed to be in Georgia with mom and dad.  Mom has witnessed the birth of our three little ones…amazing!  We are enjoying time with her and family and friends […]

Charles just completed a training with New Tribe Mission West Africa!  He and about 15 other believers from different countries in West Africa completed an intensive training course here in Senegal.  While, it was shorter than the training that I went through, it was all in French and better understood in the local context.  We […]

How exciting it is to grow together with brothers and sisters in Christ! We have been loved by this couple, Prosper and Suzanne, during some difficult times and in times of joy as well.  We have prayed with them as God brought them through some difficulties too.  We are so excited to celebrate a new […]

We took a visit to Charles’ home village and also to a new work among a different Joola people group. We got to visit the KING!  Charles’ cousin is the king which means that he is a spiritual and social leader to the community.  However, he is then forced to stay in the “traditions” that […]

God surprised us with an extra blessing and a few months after Ariel Jisalo was born, Shawn came along.  Shawn was born in December.  This day, we celebrated the marriage of Charles’ brother, who is also a believer.  Our ministry at the time in the capitol city was welcoming new missionaries and helping them to […]
