- One of the most valuable things that you learn
in mission friends and GA's, act teens, RA's
is that you learn that missionaries are just normal people
that God has called to do extraordinary things.
Knowing that anyone could go and be a missionary,
having read all their stories
and heard their different experiences
really paved the way to say it could be me, why not me?
Every summer, the highlight of my summer
was coming to WorldSong Missions Place for camp every week.
My favorite part of being at WorldSong Missions Place
was listening to missionaries and hearing
about the work that God had them doing all over the world.
And it was on Thursday night at our candlelight service
that I really felt like the Lord was speaking to me
and calling me to be a missionary.
I went home and I stood in front of my church that Sunday
and told everyone that God was calling me
to missions in Africa.
I got married my last summer after working at WorldSong.
And we went to seminary and said what's the fastest way
to go to Africa?

I would say one of our greatest sources of joy
and encouragement and support since we have been
on the field has been the support of Alabama Baptist WMU
and the support of our state board of missions.
Those are the ones that keep in touch with us,
that encourage us, that pray for us,
that partner with us, that are always looking
for a way to provide support for us.
And so I am super grateful
for the Myers-Mallory State Missions Offering.
