If you read in 1 Kings 17 and 18 you will learn about an amazing man named Elijah. In short summary, he was a man who prophisied words from the Lord; he was a man who believed in the voice of the Lord even when it sounded crazy; and he had unbelieveable faith that God is who He said he is and would do anything to show people that. Elijah was also one of the two people on the mountain of transfiguration with Jesus (Matthew 17:1-13). I met him when he was sitting in his crib crying for attention. When I picked him up he was fine. All he wanted was for someone to notice...

  Earlier this week my team and I had the opportunity to visit a hospital near by. We were there to pray for, encourage, and simply love on the patients and their families. We saw physical brokenness and suffering. Most of which seemed to be caused by things that are rarely seen in the states because they are completely preventable. As I was walking into the children’s ward I saw an older woman sitting alone in front of a tiny bundle that was on the table in front of here. I approached her and asked if I could sit down and I saw that the bundle was the frail, tiny body of a...

On Monday we went to a wildlife reserve park.  We spent a couple of hours driving around, fully embracing our American tourist-ness.  We were a little disappointed that a giraffe was not seen, but we have not lost hope…we will see one!  After driving around we ended up at a picnic area.  We chatted for a few minutes then split up to spend time with our Heavenly Father.  I began my time claiming John 10:27 that as a child of God we will hear his voice and know that it is Him.  We had two hours to spend in God’s presence and seek Him regarding His...

Two nights ago somthing strange happened to me. I had a nightmare. some may argue that this is not strange at all, but my last nightmare was ten years ago after i watched jumanji.

He seemed more intersted my normal about my nights rest and I asid i woke up a few times and expected to leave it at that. then bhe told me about his night.   It started when landon woke up and heard a voice...

Hey everybody, A lot has already happened in two weeks time. I need to introduce you to some of my new friends. This week we’ll kick off with Daban a.k.a. ‘Drooler’. He is a boy at the Timbutini care point, which is the closest to our homestead. I’d say he’s around 5 years old. His two front teeth are missing, and his food never seems to make it past his face into his mouth. He always has a ring of his latest meal plastered to his cheeks and chin. The kid never stops smiling… or drooling. I had the pleasure of sitting in the back of Discipleship class...

    Me and Sunda   Good friends,  I wanted to send a message out to you guys telling you a little more about what’s been going on/how you can be praying for us. I don’t know where you all (or “y’all”) stand on spiritual warfare or if it’s something you’ve experienced, but it is potent here is Swazi. Since we’ve been in Swazi the guys (5 of us: Neal, Billy, Landon, Ryan & I) have been attacked in our dreams. Satan’s got some good lies but we have a great God!  Last night (Thursday night/Friday...
