Dr. Bella is on her journey to West Africa to minister to the women and girls through trauma healing.
The Long Plain UMC is partnering with Bella on her journey to become a missionary in West Africa. We are excited to have this opportunity to support Bella in this amazing way. Please prayerfully consider how you too can support her with your prayers and finances as she prepares to be Christ’s hands and feet in this broken world. (See more about this mission below). Dr. Bella’s Journey of Hope & Love – (A Trauma Healing Mission to the women and children of West Africa) – Thank you to all who support this mission with your presence, prayers, donations and love!
Dr. Bella embarked on her journey in September 2022 and immediately began her ministry working in a safe house for young girls caught in human trafficking and sexual abuse. Many of the girls are under the age of fourteen.
Shortly after Dr. Bella started ministering to the girls at this safe house, she brought a gift to the girls. In her words, “You would have thought it was Christmas morning.” What was the gift? Bug spray. In a place where a gift of bug spray brings joy to people, Dr. Bella also brings the light and love of Jesus.
As her sending church, we at Long Plain UMC, are committed to providing financial, emotional, and spiritual support to Dr. Bella and her missionary work.
