A Light in the Darkness
Anna, Anika, & I are less than two months away from our next African Departure: Senegal
though we continue to work with our new friends in Uganda we are turning our attention to Senegal
Uganda & Senegal Flags
though we continue to work with our new friends in Uganda we are turning our attention to Senegal
So a little Recon. Mission is in order.
Senegal is the western most tip of the on the Continent of Africa.
It is named after it's name sake, the "Senegal River"
established from the Wolof term "Sunuu Gall" which means "Our Boat"
Goats & Boats
Geographically speaking, we see that the country is split in two by a river, (with the independent Nation of Gambia & it's river betwixt), as well as the Atlantic Ocean as it's natural western boarder.
Although it is a Monitored Nation (as was Uganda) with regards to it's status under the Persecuted Church - I have been impressed as it remains a semi-peaceful nation, not Restricted or Hostile, like its neighbors to the North and East. Reports from our missionaries on the ground have been good with regards to the receptivity of the the Gospel among the Moderate Islamic fold...
We are really looking forward to discovering new cultures, customs, and commonalities.
There is a unique assignment on this adventure unlike the other that we will explain later.
As for now I'm soaking in the ambiance of Senegal.
It's creatures, and landscapes will be a bonus to observe as well...
"Baobab -Tree of Life"
Hoping to see some unique wildlife in our up-n-coming trip...
As for now we covet your prayers as we prepare for what lies ahead.
that God would give us His Favor in travel, in learning, in speaking,
and encouraging our brothers and sisters who are heavily & heavenly invested in the field...
