Sunday Marcia and I head back to Swaziland. It will be a busy 3 weeks! We’ll both be involved in leading a couple trips. Last month we had 3 families move to Swaziland – 2 permanently and 1 for 3 months. We’ll be checking on them and continuing to help them orient themselves to the ministry. Marcia will be involved in a retreat for the Timbali ladies.
We would both covet your prayers. The last couple trips have been challenging to to say the least. We are hoping this trip will be more about moving forward than fighting issues and solving problems. But whatever comes, we know the He is faithful and His grace is sufficient!
Also this past month we hosted our dear friend Bheki Matsenjwa from Swaziland. He was in the country meeting with people about his vision for an abandoned baby home, church, and counseling center. In the region where he lives there is nowhere to place abandoned babies and there is a big need as the problem is increasing. If you are interested in helping to fund this please let me know.
Lastly while you might not be thinking too much about it Christmas is coming. Every year we throw a Christmas Party for the many children who daily come to our care points for food. The gifts are around $10 each. If you would like to sponsor any of the gifts for the kids also just let me know.
I hope I can update the blog more while we are in Swaziland. Honestly so often things get so overwhelming and internet access so poor it can be hard to write or know what to write!
Lord bless you guys as you go!! I pray for the retreat time withe the Timbali women to be a time of refreshment for them. I pray you guys would not grow weary of doing good, that the Lord would strengthen you and multiply the works of your hands.
I will be praying for your time in Swazi.
Can you share more about Bheki’s vision for the babies home??
Love you guys. Tell the families we said hey.
Know I will be praying for you little brother – May God use you and Marcia in a mighty way for His Kingdom this trip! Love you both!
Dear Marcia & Scott,
LOTS of prayers for you 2!! I will pray everything goes well this time. You hold a special spot in my heart!
Blessings,
Linda

Praying for y’all today. We had a great time in Swaziland. As always, it was wonderful being with the Swazis and the AIM staff. OH! And my husband LOVED Swaziland. Africa, here we come. 😀
