I may not look like one, but I am an antelope! I am a Missionary with Global Partners, so that make me an Antelope!! Thus the title to my blog- “Antelopes Are Missionaries.” This blog is devoted to you; my family and friends, for all your support as I am going through this process of preparation and eventual departure to New Zealand
Thanks so much for investing in me and caring about me. I thank God for you.
Please keep praying!
