From near-misses with black mambas to surprise weddings, these are the stories nobody tells you about missionary life. Until now.
If you’ve ever wondered what really happens when missionaries leave the comforts of home and dive headfirst into the unknown, this book pulls back the curtain—with a little humor, a lot of grace, and a few bug bites along the way.
“You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You might even sweat a little.”
Why This Book?
After more than a decade of missionary work in West Africa—and more than a few close calls—I realized these stories weren’t just memories. They were testimonies. Woven with humor, chaos, cultural clashes, and unmistakable grace, each chapter reflects how God shows up in the most unexpected places.
This book is my way of sharing those stories—and maybe encouraging someone else along the way.
