Tom's Health Update


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
