Sarah

I had a great time talking with Sarah from Nigeria on the train to Dachau. She is the youngest of seven (like me!) and grew up in Lagos (not like me!). She was always close to her father - he died when she was 21. Her mom was the believer in her family. Dad finally came to Christ after 36 years.

She is a "mover and shaker," really set on building God's kingdom. She described spending 6 weeks in Amsterdam and her desire to be a part of counseling victims of trafficking. She says she does not have the "gift of mercy"and is more like a prophet. In other words, she tells it like it is!

God used Sarah in a special way by ministering one-to-one with a girl on our team. She has a way of speaking into other's lives with truth.

What does the future hold for her? She is holding on to God's promises. She has so many contacts in other countries from Australia to Amsterdam, you might find her anywhere jumping in to help and give. She is trusting God for her financial support to minister, which she admits sometimes feels like a rollercoaster - but God will provide.

She knows she is strong-willed, laughingly telling me that when God does bring the perfect match for her, he'd better be "comfortable in his own skin" because she needs someone who will hold their ground.

I just loved spending the day with her and the rest of our team. This girl is going places!
