On Tuesday I went to the hospital and stayed in the children’s ward the whole time. Helelo Improved a lot over this past week so she was able to go home with her mother. I visited with the woman who had a baby next to Helelo’s bed. Her name was Noela Mikango and she was there with her neighbor’s six week old daughter. Noela lives in the appartment next to Salima’s mother and helped take care of Salima and her two brothers Gaby (2) and Nehemiah (5). The doctor came over to explain the baby’s condition to me. I learned that this baby’s mother, Mhake...

I’ve already talked some about a lady at the Hope house named Cynthia. She really defines the word precious. On Monday I went in to visit her. We just sat with her for a little while and decided to share some verses with her. I had felt I was supposed to share a verse with her last week but I didn’t get a chance to. One of my teammates shared the verse Romans 8:28 with her.  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” The verse I had felt I needed to share with her last week...

  One thing that God has shown me since being in Swaziland was the authority that I am called to walk in. Luke 10:18   He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.” God has given me the authority to do great things in His name. I have been given power over the enemy and have been anointed to do the will of the Lord. Many times in my life lies have been whispered to me that I am too young, I am too unlearned, I don’t...

                Galatians 5 starts out with the powerful phrase, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.” You’re probably thinking to yourself, ” Yeah…I’ve read that before. So?” The rest of the verse continues on to say, ” stand firm then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.” Now you’re thinking, ” Ok, I’ve heard about this so many times. What else could you possibly...

Last week when I was in Manzini I met a woman in KFC named Ruth. I met her by sitting next to her to ask if I could take the table when she left so I could have a place to eat with my friends. I never actually got around to asking her though. Instead I just decided to have a conversation to kill time with. I asked if she was meeting anyone else in town and she told me about her three children who were at the bank at the moment, the were on their way to come back and eat lunch with her. As she told me a little bit about her children and we talked for a few more minutes about what i was doing...

            The last couple of times I’ve gone to the hospital I prayed that the Lord would allow me to share my story with someone there. I imagined telling someone about how I came to know the Lord or even just telling them about what the Lord is doing in my life now. I thought maybe I would be able to share stories about the hard things I have gone through or poor decisions I have made and how the Lord still used those times to refine me.             ...
