Serving the Servants

Serving the Servants

I am working these days in schools in Liberia. I paint murals on the classroom walls. It is interesting maybe only to me that I am doing this, something that I have been doing since I discovered anything that would make a mark, just ask my mother! My paintings are the ABC's, the maps of the world, Africa and Liberia. I also paint the blackboards and make them black again. I am amazed again by God. He and He only had prepared me for this work all my life. A few years ago after my husband died I went back to college for fine arts. I am an artist. Going into Mercy Ships which is a medical mission, I prayed to God that He would use me, hopefully use my training as an artist. Here I am working not only in schools, but also in orphanages, doing what I love, painting. Does God answer prays, you bet He does!
