Happy Easter
As you celebrate Easter this weekend, may you remember God's perfect love and may that love fill you with hope for the days to come.
. .. I continue to love the work to which He has called me to with VOH Africa and being here in Tanzania ... and I'm coming home in May/June to be able to share more about it with churches, donors and potential donors in person. My work is continuing to grow and I continue to be honored to be part of the ministry of VOH. But sometimes it's hard to explain and the difference VOH is making in children's lives - especially when it's mainly through updates and emails. So, I'm coming home from the middle of May for a few weeks to share in person, the great work of VOH, what God has been doing in my life, and to build a firm foundation (of both financial and prayer support) for the work ahead. Here's a Sneak Peak of what I want to say: 1. VOH is truly impacting the lives of children As I continue the mission with VOH, and hear stories of the children, I can say with 100% confidence that the min...
Chapel time at VOH Tanzania Wednesdays are my favorite day of the week at VOH. It's when the children gather for discipleship class. It always makes my day when I'm working at my desk and hear the children's singing fill the air.

I laughed as the children walked around bumping into each other as they sang. Then the pace slowed down. The children started to sing songs of praise and wo...
Happy New Year! A few weeks ago, I was reflecting on what 2025 will hold, and was thinking about what should be my focus in the months ahead. I found myself talking to God, telling Him I don't want this to "business as usual". I thought about Christmas and the anticipation we often have about a family member or friend opening that special gift you bought with just them in mind, or the wonder in a child's eyes on Christmas Eve, and it dawned on me .... I want this to be a year of excitement and anticipation. I've been working alongside VOH Africa now for almost 6 years and lived in Tanzania long enough now that I'm familiar with the mission and know my way around. So, it's possible things could become routine, or worse, boring. For those of you who know me well, you know I don't want that! I want the excitement of a child on Christmas Eve and the anticipation of what is about to happen. As I prayed about this, suddenly I fell upon Roman 12:11, in a ...
