Hello everyone!
We are excited to say that TOM IS ON THE FINAL STRETCH OF
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY after weeks of a rough time. We are thankful to fellow
missionaries, Gabe and Sada Herrera, as well as the amazing Sierra Leoneans who
serve alongside us (Sulaiman, Carew, Sankoh, Abraham, and others) for keeping
things humming in SL. We have been in ongoing communication, and it means so
much to know that everything there has been in good hands. There is much work
still to be done in Sierra Leone. We anticipate that Tom will return ahead of
Becky in early April, and we are in the process of putting together a barrel
shipment and working on VISA renewals.
Our hearts are saddened over the news that Susan Kamanda,
headmistress of Hosetta School for Special Needs Children, passed away on
Sunday. We pray for the students and parents as a transition in leadership
takes place. Hosetta has served since 1979 as a refuge for children who are
considered the least of the least in Sierra Leone. We applaud the commitment of
the Department of Education and the Board of Directors as they work to see that
the children are cared for and valued.
God continues to reaffirm Becky’s call to serve as Mission
Support Director for GoSendMe Global. To put into words how humbling and
rewarding it has been to assist with care and training for nearly 30 long-term
GSM missionaries would be impossible. Because of your continued support, the
Lord is using the years of experience in mission work He has given to minister
to folks who are preparing to deploy full time to Botswana, the Balkan Region,
Thailand and Sierra Leone. Other missionaries and national partners already on
their fields of service include England, Peru, Guatemala, Greece and Kenya to
name a few. This ministry of Mission Support is vital to the longevity of
missionaries on the field as they work to further the Kingdom while the enemy
is hard at work, fighting them all along the way.
We’ve had lots of great questions about our transition to
GSM. Thank you for your interest in how God is opening “wide doors for
effective service” in ways that we never even thought to imagine! We remain
committed to LIVE BY FAITH in God, our Provider, as we trust Him to “supply all
our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus”. Please do reach
out to us with your questions on how you can partner with us in the Kingdom
work He has called us to in Sierra Leone and beyond.
YOUR PRAYERS never cease to encourage us. Thank you for the many calls and messages
during Tom’s illness. Each one of you mean the world to us.
Our love and deepest appreciation,
Tom and
Becky
