Lisa



About Me – I married Eric about two years ago and this will be our first mission together. Grew up in Calgary but moved to the country at 18. I’m now a country girl in my heart and hope one day to own some land out there. I love being in the outdoors and spending time with my family.

What do you do at ABC? I am on a great worship team and help out wherever I’m needed with other church activities.

Why are you going on this mission? Africa has always held an allure for me and I’ve wanted to go on a mission trip since hearing the experiences of our teams who’ve visited El Salvador. Getting to see the work we’ve done there with water projects is an added bonus.


What are you looking forward to the most? I’m so excited to meet other Christians who I’m sure will teach me more than I can imagine about living in God’s grace and abundance. God has lessons for me and I pray I’m listening when he speaks.

What would you like prayer for? Culture shock is something that will affect me both in Kenya and when we come back. Learning to live without a time schedule and understanding different ways of doing things will be hard for me while in Kenya. I have a hard time dealing with some of our ‘North American ways’ and I’m sure that upon our return I’ll have a hard time reconciling that.

Verse – Psalms 84:12 - O LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.
