HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2019

Dearest family and friends!

In this season of gratitude, Tom and I would like to express our deepest appreciation for your prayers, encouragement and support over the past year as we experienced numerous twists and turns with Tom’s health. It’s certainly given us an opportunity to trust God even when we weren’t sure of timelines or next steps.

We are excited to report that Tom returned to Sierra Leone in mid-August, and he is feeling very well with no signs of the infection that plagued him for months. Work is progressing and relationships are being poured into. We praise the Lord for His faithfulness as He knows our hearts regarding the privilege of serving in Sierra Leone these 11 years.

Please join us in prayer:

….. for Tom’s continued good health and steady progress on projects in Sierra Leone

….. for Becky as she serves 30 full-time missionaries and several national partners

….. for Bo as he graduates in May and continues the college course work that he’s already started

….. for additional provision over the next 8-10 months as SL projects draw to a close

END OF YEAR GIVING: As you pray over the many worthwhile options for giving during this holiday season, we would love to have the opportunity to share details about our needs. Please do reach out and Becky will be happy arrange a visit.

May your Thanksgiving be filled with THE JOY OF THE LORD!

Summer Update

Happy summer greetings to you all!

We’ve been a bit silent in recent days as we have tackled the stubborn infection that Tom has been fighting for months. Thank the Lord it seems that a new medication has gotten to the root of it, and we look forward to turning our undivided attention back to the mission and vision that God has called us to.

In the meantime, it’s been exciting to see that Sankoh and crew have continued work on projects in Sierra Leone under Tom’s long-distance instruction. The goal all along has been to mentor and train these 6 men in skills that will benefit them and their families for a lifetime. Very proud of these guys!

Please join us in prayer as we make plans for Tom’s return to SL for an extended stay and for Becky’s arrangements for a short-term trip. There is lots to be done, and we are eager to get to it!

In GoSendMe Global news, Becky continues to have the privilege of providing mission support to new and existing missionaries and national partners. Ministry opportunities are expanding in Latin America and the East, as well as a broadening of work in several countries.  If you would like information on short-term teams and internships, please do let us know.

As always, your prayers, encouragement and financial support mean the world to us!

With love and appreciation! 

Tom and Beck

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
