Hey all!

 First off I would like to thank everyone who has responded to us in our call to be ambassadors of Christ’s Truth and Freedom in Salesian High School with your prayers and support.
Friends and family as well as people we didn’t even know before have been lifting this mission up and we are so thankful for that.
  

As many of you know as one gets further into a battle of the kingdoms there is an intensifying effect of opposition and it requires us to be ever closer to the Lords wisdom, strength and guiding Holy Spirit.

Without this covering we are unable to be effective in unity, session planning, awareness of the enemy, hearing the Lords direction and encouragement and of course our communicating by illumination of the Holy spirit the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the classroom and the hearts of these boys to which The Lord has instructed us to minister.
Otherwise its just another abstinence program with NO power. With no change. All words and no freedom.
The answers are not simply in instruction, not simply in education, not simply in scary statistics about sex because we all know that in the grips of culture and lust these things can and often do easily fade into the background by the oppression of the enemy, the world and the screaming desires of flesh whenever Gods Spirit is absent.

So what are we asking of you?  And just what are we saying?
 
  Keep Doing What You are Doing And Get Anyone and Everyone Involved.
PRAY IN FAITH.
INVITE AND EXPECT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO FALL ON ALL THESE BOYS AND US AS WE ARE TRYING TO   “PREACH CHRIST CRUCIFIED”

 As for what has been happening so far, we are now entering our third week of teaching and will be completing prep on our next lesson this Sunday.

Class thus far has consisted in the first session something of a “Siren session.” A sounding the alarm if you will. Swazi is in danger.
Here’s the truth about HIV/Aids in your country. 44 % infection rate. 32, average age of death.
Here’s how advanced it is.
Here’s the truth about how God sees it.
Lets ask WHY? Lets overcome. The choice is not ours but yours.
It was a very serious class, though we did have some laughs and some very rewarding Opportunity’s to fellowship with the boys.

The second  class mainly included tying in the previous week and  personalizing the statistics, truth and dangers through factual illustrations involving real statistics within the country regarding HIV, STD’s and teen pregnancy. (Statistics that have, by many indications worsened since last officially collected) They included colored cards which each student received randomly which would indicate the sexual status of that student, assuming an active sexual life.
 
I assure you this assumption is no stretch. Starting age of sexual activity in this country can be astounding.

We have been informed kids are sexually active sometimes as young as nine years old.

Obstacles are great.
Peer Pressure.
Media.
WESTERN media.
Female identity found almost entirely in men.
Pornography.
Gender roles.
Lust.
Wide acceptance of promiscuity.
Shame.

Silence.
 Lies.
What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
Romans 7:24
 But we know who is behind all of it.
 
 Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ our Lord!

Romans 7:25
 
And by the power of the Cross it has all been undone, if we all would look up and be filled.
 In His service,

 Tyler, Davie, Blair and Ryan.

    Still praying. In absolute faith.
    God has gone before you in this. Just keep saying ‘YES SIR!’
    Be bold. Speak truth. Stand up against injustice. And LOVE.
