Africa My Destination

Since I was 15 years old, Africa, became part of the beatings from my heart. I am now 52 years old and I have several reasons which in those 37 years Africa has been adding intensity, love and interest in my life. The Bible has spoken to my heart with different scriptures: Mark 16:15 "And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

First, I dedicate this Hub to my two dear African friends, Aw Dieng and Simon Alkali, which my admiration, friendship and love has gained more respect and enthusiasm for my Africa destination.

Second, I thank God for putting in my path a wonderful man named Greg Lee Boudonck. The kissed frog had to become a real blue prince...be a son of God, had to have a heart with the spiritual fruits (to be healthy to deal with me). And needed the understanding that my destination is Africa. "Can two walk together, except they be agreed?" (Amos 3:3).

People will always provoke emotions in others. In my life there has been many. My parents of course are the main provokers as they led me through life. I appreciate and recognize their effort in parenthood achievements toward me. I became a teacher, a mother of three great creative children and learned what love is about because of their commitment to each other and to their family. From them I got the real example of Philippians 4:5 "Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near."

I will mention some of my provokers into my destination to Africa. But first delight yourself with this video that shows Africa in different aspects.

Martin Luther King, Jr.

For his love to God, activism, non violence leadership, defender of civil rights specially African-American's.

Mother Teresa

For her ministered to the poor, sick, orphaned and her great devotion even until dying; while guiding the Missionaries of Charity's expansion, first throughout India and then in other countries.

Nelson Mandela

For his love and commitment to Africa, his strength, persistence, and anti-apartheid activism. Because he was sentenced to life in prison and it didn't stop him from getting his goals.

I am preparing my life toward the day of leaving my lovely island. The island that gave me the African's blood. I am proud of my African roots!

What will I do in Africa? God's will should be fulfilled and I want to give what I have learned to do....teach how to read. So my dear African could read the Bible; God's word. There's so much to do...so much to give...Africa is waiting...

This video could help you find out in what you could help.
