“There You stood holding me, waiting for me to notice You. You are the truth. My hands are open and you are filling them.”   This place is beautiful. We wake up to the warm sun and the green mountains and end our day with countless stars. This week my team was given the opportunity to see the different types of ministry we can be involved in while we’re here. There are various “care points” set up around Manzini where children come after school to eat and receive discipleship training. Many of them have lost one or both parents. Older women...

  We’ve been in Swaziland for about a week now and in the midst of roosters crowing and goats sneezing on our homestead, and driving around all over Manzini and Timbutini on mostly dirt roads, we are nearing the beginning of structured ministry. Boy, I cannot wait. We’ve had an opportunity to visit all the care points in Timbutini, which is located near Manzini. And at every single one, we have arrived and immediately had dozens of children flock to us wanting us to pick them up and play with them. They make it very easy to love them. They are kids...

              The First week in Swaziland has been full of many changes to my daily routine. Bucket showers, hole-in-the-ground potties, living in a hut, enjoying the heat, and waking up with flies around my face are just a few of the changes I’ve been adapting too. Getting back to the basics of life has been a refreshing escape from all the distractions back home and the scenery makes it nearly impossible to not take note of God’s beautiful creation all around me....

  Hey Everybody!!! My team and I made it safely to Swaziland! We are staying on a homestead in a town called Timbutini in Manzini. Swaziland is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen. It is not at all what I was expecting Africa to look like. So far the Swazi people have been very welcoming. The first day that we were in Swaziland a few of us went down to a care point that is down the road from our homestead. We played with the kids for a little whil and we talked to the gogos (grandmothers). It was a lot of fun learning more about the culture...

Just a quick update:   I heard from the Swazi contact on the ground that the team arrived with all their bags.  They were spending the night in Joburg before heading across the border to Swaziland.  They should arrive there later today.
