Grandma's Letters From Africa: A Memoir: Please pray for Kenyans during coronavirus outbreaks

Please pray for Kenyans during coronavirus outbreaks

Please pray for our Kenyan friends during the world’s coronavirus pandemic. Below you'll see a picture of our dear co-worker Elizabeth (far left), her sister Agnes (next to her), and other relatives and friends at their home in 2001.

Please pray for Elizabeth’s two daughters and their families as well.

I thank God that we can keep in touch with them on Facebook! At the same time, I wish I knew how to find other Kenyan friends.

Covid-19 has spread across the continent, hitting other nations besides Kenya. Please keep them in your prayers, too.

Thanks for praying.

Our friends have great faith in God.

May He comfort them, protect them,

and provide all they need.

What others are saying about Grandma's Letters from Africa

Great stories, great humor, and real spiritual depth! (Susan Van Wynen, Director for Communication, Wycliffe International)

Grandma’s Letters from Africa is an engaging, memorable account of Linda’s years in Africa. It was a privilege for me to read over the shoulders of her granddaughters as Linda tells her story through a series of letters. Through both laughter and tears, she learns to balance her roles as missionary, wife, mother, and grandmother. In the process, Linda falls in love with Africa, its people, and her work. Readers will be moved by this compelling story that reveals God’s heart and extraordinary grace. (Bob Creson, President/CEO, Wycliffe USA)

No matter what age you are, Grandma’s Letters from Africa transports you to that intriguing continent and gives you a glimpse of everyday life there. Make sure you have a box of tissues nearby because sometimes you’ll cry and other times you’ll laugh until tears roll down your cheeks. One caveat: Don’t start reading this book late in the evening unless you want to stay up all night. It’s a “can't-put-down” book. (Aretta Loving, Author, Together We Can! and Slices of Life)

Grandparents and soon-to-be-grandparents, read this book and give a copy to all your grandchildren old enough to read. In it, you will discover how to leave a life-impacting legacy for the children of your children. You will laugh and cry your way through Linda’s four incredible years in Africa … away from her children and grandchildren, but connecting with them in powerful ways as she skillfully weaves a tapestry of how her life made a difference. (Don Parrott, President, The Finishers Project

Linda tells it like it is—she and her husband actually lived and experienced what she writes about. TIS recruits teachers for the mission field, including those over fifty, and Grandma’s Letters from Africa is a must-read for those potential teachers—even though many will never have the plethora of experiences Linda did.
