calling all men
guys, is God calling you to Senegal? can you live here for two months? if i can, you can!
in this culture, we as women do not directly minister to the men. our focus is on the women and children...all for a good reason. for one, women are not highly respected here. all week i have been outraged by the Senegalese men and have had a horrible attitude towards them. the hissing, honking, grabbing, staring,etc. it is ridiculous! we only have one guy on our team this summer. we need more men to come and serve in Senegal! pray about it. do you know anyone willing to come for next summer...be on the look out for us. we are already praying for guy missionaries to come here. they are first and foremost needed to minister to the Senegalese men, but to also be with us ladies for a number of reasons. there are plenty of times this week that i wanted a guy with me or i wanted to try to attack a man all by myself. i didnt but probably could have because i was so angered. but thats that!
in the mean time, pray for us ladies here in Senegal as we do have daily contact with men. all taxi drivers are men, shop keepers, etc. pray for my attitude towards them and that i will keep my cool. pray for ben, our lone boy, as he is ministering to the men and trying to watch out for us all at the same time.
