“June 6, 2016 I felt God come alive in me.  I heard a whisper when I was 5 years old that one day I would go to Africa and teach kids and today 46 years later it came to fruition. Praise God! I have never felt as close to God as in that first classroom.  He brought to my knees.

What a tremendous gift from the Good Lord above.  Then, all week long I felt that he was teaching me things I never thought in a million years I would understand.  All I can say is that I felt very much at home.  God was leading me to my purpose! Praise the living God!”
