WHAT HAS HAPPEND SINCE ...

"NATOTELA Africa" = "THANK YOU Africa"

WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE...

2007 -2009-- The majority of these two years I lived in Africa as a career missionary.

March 2009
-- Following furlough to the 'states’, we discovered mom needed another major foot reconstructive operation so I remained in the states to assist my family.


June 2010 --Following a choice of sin with an African man I loved (Mwenya), I lost my first child in a miscarriage. Mwenya and I feel a void, yet we believe God is the one who "gives" and "takes away" and we rest in peace knowing our son (Buanda) is in the arms of the Almighty God. Praise Jesus for His forgiveness and grace which continues to redeemed and restored me.

2011 -- I remained state side with my parents to assist my father who struggles with many health conditions and pursue Therapeutic Massage -my career prior to moving to Africa 2007.

January 2012- August 2012-- I graduated from D.T.S '[Discipleship Training School ] in Livingstone, Zambia. The D.T.S. is a prerequisite course for the 1 year [B.A.S Birth Attendant School], a High Risk Midwifery School with University of the Nations.

September 2012-June 2013 -- My Midwifery class completed our clinical application midwifery training in India, Tanzania and Zambia. I am honored to offer the first prayer over newborns as they enter the world into my warm hands.


June 2013 - Current --I began IPHC (Introduction to Primary Healthcare) in Worcester, South Africa through University of the Nations. This course will allow me to basic medical skills to serve an entire village, not only mother and child.

... And someday operator a Medical/Maternity clinic in the depth of Africa or other developing lands among the Unreached People Groups.

BE multiplied- WHY I GO.

Why do I go? 
Because I want them to Know. 
I want them to have a Choice. 
I want them to hear His voice. 
I want them to feel His love. 
I want them to know the Truth of Jesus.
 So I go to share and tell and give bracelets to remind them what Jesus did for them, for the whole world! 

 Gold represents the streets of heaven that are paved with gold, where we will spend eternity if we believe in God.
The black bead stands for our sin. Because we are all born into a sinful nature, we fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) and are separated from Him.
The red bead represents the blood Jesus shed on the cross for us. Because He died on the cross, he paid for something He wasn't even guilty for. He was willingly taking the punishment for every sin that you and I and everyone in the world has ever committed.
The White bead shows how after you let Jesus into your heart and repent your sins, He sees you now as white as new snow.
The green bead is all about growth. When we become God's children, He wants you to get to know Him better and start a personal relationship. We can do this by studying his message to us (the Bible), attending a Sunday church and spending time alone with Him.
The bracelet is tied together with a blue bead that represents baptism. Although it is not necessary for salvation, we do it to show that we have died to our old life (being fully immersed in water) and have been raised to a new one (coming out of the water).
- We GO into ALL NATIONS: Because there are thousands/millions around the world worshiping false gods and GOD is worthy of ALL their worship.

- God doesn't NEED us (BUT) He loves us so much that we are honored to be apart of it with Him. Don't let His mission pass you by...

   - The gospel was transplanted in us and we are responsible to them.
    How dangerous is it to go… (Darfur, N.Korea, Somalia..) How much more dangerous is it to remain seated and do nothing for Jesus 
- Jesus never told us to build buildings or colleges or jobs... 
He commanded us to "MAKE DISCIPLES and Multiply"
·         If Gods sovereignty can protect me in America- He’s able to protect me anywhere… So I will continue to GO and TELL them of Jesus and his desire to have a personal relationship with each one of them, if they choose. 
As Jesus is the Reason for this Season, consider the choice to draw near to Jesus the one and only living God who desires a personal relationship with you. 

Isaiah 9:6 For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.
