It Started with a Kiss

So we are about to start our journey into Sierra Leone as Mission Partners for the Methodist Church of Great Britain - this is our story.
Michael used to work in Marketing with a large para statal organisation in the Communication Industry whilst Joey worked as a qualified Midwife with an NHS Trust in the UK.
In 2005 we believe the Lord called us to leave our jobs and go to a new land to help with our skills.
Through a series of events and 'happenstances' we were selected by the Methodist Church of Great Britain to work in Sierra Leone in West Africa. As part of the preparation period we spent a year in Birmingham at Queen's Foundation to do a Masters degree in Applied Theology - that is an experience worth recording - but not yet.

Finally we are about to leave for our psotings - Can't wait.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us all. I really admire persons who give up so much (of what they are accustomed to) in order to help others - heck, just in order to acquire new experiences is good enough for me. God bless you all! I will be in touch with the names of a couple of friends who might be helpful whilst you're there. Every little helps.
