Everybody Pukes. . .

. . .I am alive and kicking. . . although I will say if I never, ever in a million years have to smell vomit again. . . . I will die a happy woman.

More to come on our last 7 days (yes, 7) in the Jacobson household.

Hi. I'm Christy! I'm a wife, mother of 2 and a missionary. Welcome to It's Not Africa, but... This blog is all about our family's journey of faith, family and the mission field that is about as opposite from Africa as you can get - at least in temperature! I hope that you enjoy your visit; please comment and mention that you've dropped by!

Why It's Not Africa, but. . .

After our family decided to work on the mission field in the USA and more specifically the midwest (where Mark & I grew up and currently live), I decided to journal our story.

I began by writing how God directed our steps into this not so typical mission field and how as a kid I thought if you were a missionary, you went to Africa. I wrote, "It's not Africa, but young people in America are in crisis."

The phrase It's Not Africa, but. . . just stuck in my head and hopefully gets and keeps people's attention for two reasons. First, I hope that people will follow our journey. Secondly (and most importantly), I hope that it will serve as a reminder. A reminder that while we definately need to continue to reach out to other countries, we have a huge need here in the US to share the hope and life that Jesus offers to our family, friends and neighbors.
