Early this summer I was asked to share about my missionary work in
Africa with the Vacation Bible School children at Orlando Friends Community
Church in August. I was delighted to do so since it was through missionary
stories and pictures from Africa when I was a child that God put a burden in my
heart for Africa and a call to missions work.
I had anticipated sharing
in person, but with my “bump in the road” putting me in Ohio during August, we
communicated via Skype. I emailed VBS director, Robin Kirchhof, a PowerPoint illustrating
answers to most of her interview questions with photos of a short special
assignment in Cote d’Ivoire and my support of Bible translation in Cameroon. We
practiced connections twice. Via Skype, they projected my face on the middle
screen and my PowerPoint slides on the two side screens. The children had practiced ahead and sang "This Is the Day the Lord Has Made" with my puppet and I before signing off.Thank you God for
technology!
I would be happy to share about my missions work with you, your family, small group, church service or children's group. Call or email me to discuss potential.
