We are alive - VERY ALIVE!!


I dislike starting this post with an apology but feel I must - internet is Swaziland isnt like internet in the States. With that being said, tonight is absolutely the first time we have had access to any communication to home. Jumbo graciously brought me to his office in Manzini to make this post.
Please know that every single person is good, no, great! Also know that everyone has so much to say just after a couple of days. All the girls on the team are fine. The adults are good, as well. We have seen some unbelievable things after the full day at the Thulwane Carepoint today. We have also met some real-life Hero's. Really. Please continue to pray for all of us and know that your support of us is truly taken to heart.
We love each one of you! God Bless!

Your Westwood church family is praying for you. We worshipped today with you all on our hearts. So excited to see how God is blessing and carrying you through. We have testified to His goodness here as well and know that He has many wonderful things ahead. We continue to pray and can't wait to see the marvelous things He will do. Stay strong in the Lord and the power of His might.
Blessings,

I thought about all of you first thing this morning. I pray that the kids all were able to come to VBS. I pray that your work and effort will touch their hearts and they will know that you are there in Jesus' name. I pray that you each will feel God's hands on you and that you will know how much of a difference you are making for His kingdom. Thank you for being stong enough to leave your families and follow Jesus. Les preached about being disciplies yesterday, and I immediately thought of all of you. Taking up your cross and following Him.... That's what ya'll are doing!! Love you so much! Can't wait to hear from you soon. In Christ.. Steph

I am so thankful that you all are still fired up for The Lord. Psalm 147:10 says > His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor His delight in the legs of a man; the Lord delights in those who fear Him, who put their hope in His unfailing love.
Keep acknowledging God as the source of all that you are,because He is the one that gives the ability to plan, work and to do His will.GOD IS THE SOURCE...everything else is just a resource.
You are in my prayers.
BELIEVING IN GOD AND HIS PROMISE.
