Last weekend, the Niakara youth girls were so happy to have
their friend Jessica Willman back in town. Jess and her husband Steve were two
Journeyers who lived in Niakara for 9 months last year, just before I moved
there. They lived on the church property with the pastor’s family and were
loved by everyone around. Still to this day I can walk through Niakara and hear
kids call out “Yili!” which is Jess’ Ivorian name. After their host family time
ended, the Willmans moved over to Benin where they now work with a Christian
Radio Station. But we were privileged to have them come back for a visit!
Since Jess was in town the weekend of our Girls Group, we asked her to share with us about her transition to Benin and what God has been teaching her. All of us could relate to her story about the struggle of serving and loving those who are hard to love. We were reminded that God has blessed us and loves us immensely; therefore we ought to love others without expecting anything in return.
