Swaziland, much like America, is a nation of the fatherless. So when we chose our topic for a small group meeting on Thursday night to be God as our Father and what that means it seemed more than appropriate. The fact, however, that we chose it 10 minutes before we started was an interesting twist. But we were confident that since God put it on our hearts that He would give somebody words. Little did I know that it would be me He gave those words to… A group of about twenty kids showed up, mostly boys, but a few girls as well. After singing a few songs, the discussion began with Emma...

I have fallen in love with Nsoko. Possibly one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. I wish I could explain to the Swazis how beautiful their country truly is. Of course they all picture America as something that is ten times better than their land, but in all honesty I’m sure after spending maybe a week in NYC they would miss their vast lands and beautiful mountains.   The past two and a half weeks have been a constant go, go, go..and God has opened up more doors than our team could have ever imagined. Whether it’s speaking at a public school, going to share...

Soni Bonani! (Hello!)   The move to Nsoko went really well. It is just over an hour drive from Manzini. We now live in a team house which I am liking a lot better than where we had been living. We have upgraded to having toilets and showers! Oh the things we take for granted haha.   I am really loving Nsoko and I could tell you some stories that have taken place at our new home but I want to tell you about a man we met on one of our last days in Manzini. We were sitting outside of the Pick N Pay grocery store waiting for the rest of out team to finish up when an older man walked...

  The Lord has been so good to us while we have been in Nsoko.  He has blessed us with so many opportunities to share his word and we are so privileged that the Lord has chosen us for his special plans! Here and just a few of the opportunities the Lord has blessed us with.      *We have split up into small groups with a translator and gone on many home visits.  We have met so many amazing people who are so open about their lives, their struggles, and are always open to prayer.  I met a lady named Passion who I began talking to and asked her if...

Top Ten since the night we became the 12 disciples.   1. We are the “12 disciples”of Swaziland. I am Phillip, I prefer Uncle Phil.   2. The Gogo’s from Care Points in Manzini and Nsoko hand-sew purses, pocket-books, and many different types of bags. So in order to give all the hardworking Timbali Gogo’s a reward for such a successful year AIM set up a weekend retreat for them! It was so fun!! I was on duty with decorations and games. Decorating for the retreat was so great. I was talking with Julie, an employee of AIM here in Swazi and...
