When I was in Gabon the first part of this month, I had the opportunity to meet with our Gabonese ministry leadership team (COSAC) to go over a number of items related to our partnership.

Nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 It has now been almost a full week since I have returned from my time in Gabon. I’ve cycled through all my photos and videos numerous times, connected on Facebook with friends made both in Gabon and with the EMI team, shared photos and stories from the trip and reflected.
