Pumpelly to lead True Love Waits in Africa

NASHVILLE — Sharon Pumpelly, who with her husband Larry spent 25 years as an International Mission Board (IMB) missionary in Uganda and Kenya, has been named lead consultant for True Love Waits International’s expansion in Africa, LifeWay President Thom Rainer announced May 31.

In this role, she will be responsible for strategic planning, networking and implementing True Love Waits’ abstinence-until–marriage initiative in South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia, Swaziland, Botswana and Lesotho.

In April, True Love Waits International received $950,000 through LifeWay Christian Resources’ A Defining Moment campaign, which made it possible to begin the first phase of expansion into six African countries.
