Janay Abale
Janay Abale is an author, speaker, Bible teacher, and pastor’s wife. She lives in rural Uganda, where she has been a missionary for ten years. She often has to stop homeschooling her four children to chase the monkeys and baboons out of her backyard. Janay never goes anywhere without a book. She adds things she has already finished to her “to-do” list just to get the satisfaction of crossing them off. She enjoys the three C’s: coffee, cheese, and chocolate (when she can get them). Janay blogs at https://janayabale.com/blog/ and is working on her first book, Rerouted, a memoir of how God led her to become a missionary to Uganda.
She enjoys ministry to women, teen girls, and children and leads the women’s ministry at her church.
Janay and her husband are both speakers, available for speaking/teaching engagements.

Frequently Asked Questions

We have two big projects we are just starting with. The first is a podcast of teachings for women translated into the local language.
