December 31, 2007 (again):

I almost forgot to tell you. Last year when I was in Tanzania, the Lord gave me a verse one morning as I looked over the city of Dar es Salaam:

"The people who sat in darkness have seen a great Light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death, Light has dawned." ~ Matthew 4:16, NKJ Version ~

This is the verse I've adopted for my missionary journeys to Afrika.

Another thing I'll mention here is my nickname of "Sister Afrika". When I returned from Tanzania in 2006, one of the brothers in our church called me "Sister Afrika"...so I kept it.

Mungu akubariki! (God bless you!)
