Keeping It Simple for Ladysmith Women’s Ministry

Susan with some of the ladies from Abundant Life AG in Ladysmith, WI.

By Susan Shanklin Tom and I traveled together for a three-day ministry time at Abundant Life Assembly of God Church in Ladysmith, Wisconsin in February.

Kenya Mission January 2004

I want to say thank you to everyone who prayed and gave financially to make our mission to Kenya in January, 2004 a success. People told me afterwards that they were praying and fasting for us while we were in Kenya and we certainly could sense your prayers. The entire team remarked how smoothly things went and how readily God’s grace was available to us in every situation.
