Surrendering to the Lord’s Leading: Gib and Marilyn Dickenson

On this episode of Cloud of Witnesses, we hear the story of Gib and Marilyn Dickenson, who served in the West African country of Togo for 36 years. Gib and Marilyn share their experience of moving to Togo, which had recently opened to missionaries at the time, and the process of leading churches to become self-sustainable. Through three decades in Togo, the Dickensons learned to lean on God when unexpected changes and directions came their way.
