Something that was hard to envision before moving here was imagining how God could truly unite people from such different backgrounds. I’m so thankful to see and truly experience now the truth that is the unity and family we have in Christ.
@@soniakoen5881 Amen! God is so Good and it's incredible how His design for the local church works so beautifully and breaks down all barriers when we follow His instructions!
I've been traveling and without much internet access most of the past month. I was delighted to find a couple of videos from you guys waiting when I got home. This one was beautiful and enlightening. We can get a real taste of what life is like for you in SL. It's much less scary, less "foreign" than I thought before. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
You are a sweetheart. Very comprehensive. I wish I had had this platform back during my years in Africa. Having our husbands away, knowing of possible dangerous situations is a very real possibility. May you and Abi continue to find solutions to your challenges. We love you both!
I’m thankful for examples like your own to glean from and be encouraged by. I think of you often and find strength in thinking about you doing this when you were in my season of life. It’s a blessing to have that camaraderie even if a generation apart.
I appreciate you all so much and thank God for the good work you’re doing for the LORD, not only in how you love the brethren and lost souls but also how you love your children and the beautiful way you are bringing them up in harmony with God’s word. May our great God continue to bless you in all ways.
Nice to hear your perspective and some of what you do not just when he's gone but all the time! So glad you have such a great church family to watch over you and the girls too......of course in addition to God watching over all of you!
Wow
👍
Sonia you are such a great woman. God bless you and give you more strength.
She’s a true blessing to our family and the kingdom of God.
So cool to see the body of Christ unite together and truly live like family. Thanks for sharing!

Mhm, the longer we live here the more it feels “normal” and we couldn’t imagine life anywhere else.
Love you, Sonia!

I second Sonia’s remarks!

Thanks so much, Patricia, for the kind words. We’re doing our best but still making mistakes along the way. Praise God for his patience and grace!

Yes! The Lord is making his provision for our family abundantly obvious which results in our faith increasing month by month!
You are a wonderful wife and a lovely mother much love ❤
Thanks for your encouragement. God is good at equipping!
Agreed.
How come you say “Africa” like it’s the country that you are in; instead of the specific country, Sierra Leone?
Sometimes I write “Africa” in the thumbnail because not everyone has heard of or knows where Sierra Leone is. 🤷
