So I am currently in a little grocery store in Mattata, Swaziland! It is amazing to be back here again and I am greatly blessed by these people already as I remeber thier hearts. I see so much goodness in them. They make me laugh.
I am with the Swaziland team for another week and a half and then I will be traveling back to South Africa to meet up with the other team.
Currently we are settled into our living space at the Nsoko compound where we have spent the first few days we have been here meeting people in the community, watching amazing storms, playing some music (we have a flute player!), as well as meeting with the local pastor and getting into the vision he has for the community and where this team will fit into that over the next six months. The Holy Sprirt continues to minister to our brokeness and challenge us as we get to know each other and seek to find what Jesus is really about out here. We ahve recently been challenged about past dating and relationships that members of the team have walked through and just uncovering so much hurt and repenting of different sins. Its been deep and I feel like in our culture its a HUGE issue among our youth….and me i guess.
Meanwhile..
Nsoko project is an Aim initiative in Swaziland to provide orphan and widow care, food distribution, community development, youth ministries as well as provide a place for teams to land.
It is a bit different as I am no longer in the city area but way out into the rural areas of Swaziland. Its hot and I hear there are a LOT of snakes. So far so good.
Tommorow we will be starting helping with a “vision trip” from America which means, get this…….
NFL wives. Like football, NFL.
How random is that! but so cool.
My prayers from here are for the team to be hungry and get right into the ministries placed before them. I also hope to see some of my boys from last year which are difficult to find.
Please pray for an outpouring of His Spirit on us and the community, we need it so bad.
I am kind of in a wierd place right now where I am feeling less fervour and zeal and that scares the heck outta me. I want it gone. Immediately.
Thank you all so much for your support and prayers you guys are all amazing and faithful and I dont deserve the kind of people in my life that I have had.
Siyabonga Jesu….means “Thank you Jesus” in SiSwati.
