This is part one of a two-part interview with Deb Newsome. Deb has been a missionary in the Gambia for 30 years. In this first part, we hear about some of the key milestones on her path to becoming a missionary, and what she's been seeing God do in both her and other people in the Gambia. She talks specifically about discerning God's will for her, daily disciplines to know God better, depression, spiritual warfare, and the slow growth of the Gambian church. In Part Two, we will hear about what has been happening with her more recently - specifically, kidney cancer, being back in the States, her bucket list, and some favorite moments with God.
