Question

The boat Safina was originally a father-son fishing boat. We have also taken guests to Jane Goodall’s chimpanzee preserve. It has also been used for medical and evangelistic work along the shore for coastal villages. 

White Letter

Lowell has thoroughly enjoyed his life as a generalist missionary. His flexible schedule allows him to respond to the controlled chaos that life in Africa has brought. This includes thousands of refugees to care for and new and old projects to develop and manage.

However, one day he realized he couldn't do it all without help. That help has come through his dedicated and talented African staff.

He has learned the truth of 2 Corinthians 12:9 when Jesus said, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Strength is His grace and weakness demonstrates His power.
