What images does the word bring to your mind? A safari with lions and elephants? Vivid colors and beating drums? Or perhaps the haunting words of Robert Moffat: “I have seen, at different times, the smoke of a thousand villages–villages whose people are without Christ, without God, and without hope in this world.”

Come with me for the next year, encounter the people of West Africa, and see the “hidden work” God is doing through the efforts of one of Smyrna's most exceptional ministry partners. I'm an ordinary Christian girl who's following the ordinary Christian duty of obedience, and in my case that means a year in Ghana. I invite you to use this space to follow my adventures!

Takeoff is in two days.
