Welcome everyone to my blog corner. Thank you for visiting Overland Missions!
I am so proud to be part of this team. Phil and I have poured ourselves into God's vision of reaching the most neglected areas of the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our family loves every area of this ministry and invite you to join us... in an expedition, as future staff or simply volunteer! Your life has value in God's eyes and we appreciate every life willing to join the cause to see God's kingdom grow.
Stay in touch with all of the activities and make sure you do all you can to join us in our January One Tribe Missions' Conference coming up January 11-14 in Tampa Florida.
