Long Journeys

Long Journeys

Our raw hearts have finally burst. After hours upon hours of driving, airport traipsing, flying, landing, flying again, landing again, and driving, we are nearly home. Exhaustion is upon us; we are spent.   And here, in this broken, exhausted, bursted heart place, right here, Jesus is good and faithful […]

Renewal

And it finally happened. Our first flat tire. This morning, instead of traipsing through Kruger, we spent it at a tire shop, getting a small hole on a tire fixed. Even in this moment, Christ is good. After this quick interlude, we traveled onto Kruger. What another day of sights! […]

Fire of Revival

“When somethings burns you, you remember it.” The fire of revival is burning in Swaziland. What a testament to God’s grace! We’re getting to witness it firsthand, and we are so thankful.   Tonight we went to church! After a arduous drive to Tshaneni (the northern area of Swaziland), we […]

Rubbing Raw

“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you….” (Ezekiel 36:26-27, NIV)   What a Gospel message: When we come to […]

Heartbreak

Heartbreak

Heartbreak and Jesus go hand in hand. As we fall more in love with Jesus, our hearts tend to break harder and harder for those who don’t know Him. As we traversed Swaziland today, our entire team broke for this nation, broke for these precious, precious people.   After a […]

Stir Affections

As the sun sets over the mountains of Mbabane, we are thankful for another restful, thoughtfully designed day in Swaziland. Today was filled with both emotion and joy, as the team split apart to set out on two very different missions.   This morning was spent in devotion with a […]
