I love what David writes in Psalm 139: “ 7 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths,  you are there. 9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” 12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.” ...

    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...

A half hour drive off the pavement on dirt rouged roads.  Pass schools, barbed wire fences, cinderblock houses and cows.  Deep into a Swazi forest filled with giant cactus and throne trees.  A bit of God’s Kingdom was tucked away.  It wasn’t much, really it wasn’t anything.  Well not to the western eye.  But to the fifty children gathered under the big tree it was everything.  It was their life source.  Literally.  A meal.  Their only meal that day.  Two big cast iron pots sat with cool coals underneath and warm rice...

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. I woke up several times in the night, not uncommon at all, except that it was from this bad dream. I planned on keeping it myself and not thinking about it in the morning. untill I talked to Billy. 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...

As I sit here contemplating what to write about, I am overwhelmed with so many different things I want to share. Each day in Africa is so different from the next. We never know what to expect when we show up at each place and that has definitely tested my patience. There is a thing here called “Swazi time.” This basically means that you may be told something will start at 10:00 but no one even shows up until 11:00 or later. Back home I’m definitely not the first person to show up anywhere but here I am always early. But this is just one...

I’ve been in Swaziland for 2 weeks now and I’ve realized that I have been writing about some things I have experienced but not necessarily about myself.  God has moved in some big ways and I’ve already experienced some new things.  However it is definitely apparent that wherever I go, the Lord is with me. We’ve been in so many places in Swaziland.  We’ve been to care points, hospitals, schools, and many other places.  We went to a game reserve and saw animals: zebras, impalas, monkeys, warthogs, and more.  No giraffes though.  I...
