100% of donations given through Beautiful Feet go directly to fund the work of Grace Gardens. Our big push this year is to raise enough money to build a new home for Grace Gardens residents on our newly acquired land. We are also working to acquire land for our Grace Gardens Academy to expand. We invite you to partner with us as we strive to share the love of Christ to the most vulnerable in Nigeria.

What I Miss!

May 26, 2016

A day in my many lives!

Nov 1, 2015

I often feel like I live in some sort of limbo between two worlds. When I am in the States, my heart longs for Nigeria and the people I love there. And then when I am in Nigeria, my heart longs for the US and the people I love here. But, right now, I feel so torn...

Where do your kids go to school?

This has become a complicated question. Our oldest two are in University in the States. There is an international/mission school here in Jos that one of our kids attend and we have now begun our own school, Grace and Hope American Academy. Two of our kids attend Grace and Hope.

What kinds of food do you eat?

We eat all sorts of food. We love many types of Nigerian food, but we still try our best to make our favorite American food in our home.

Do you see wild animals outside your door?

We live in a large city so we don’t see too many wild animals. We do have two pet monkeys and two huge African turtles at our house.

What language do you speak in Nigeria?

There are over 350 tribal languages in Nigeria, but English is the national language. We try our best to speak Hausa, which is the major local tribal language in our area, but we get around with English pretty well.

What is the weather like in Nigeria?

Warm! We live up on a plateau, so we average 90 degrees year round. Off the plateau is usually above 100 degrees. We have a dry season and a wet season. It rains almost every day for 6 months and then it is dry for the other 6 months.
