Today was a whirlwind, exhausting, thrilling, beautiful, spirit and light filled day in Eswatini. Today, with the help of our Swazi friends, we completed food deliveries to seven Baptist churches in the Shiselweni region, and it was glorious. It was a slow start, because as many of you know, everything […]
Hills, Valleys, People
Today was a travel day for the team in Eswatini, as we moved locations from central Eswatini to the Nhlangano area to begin a week of work there. We spent a few hours perusing a few souvenir shops in Ezulwini, laughing with our Swazi friends who are traveling with us, […]
These Precious Ones
Sundays in Eswatini are an entire experience. If you’ve never experienced one, it’s difficult to describe, but here’s a try. Imagine the most beautiful concert you’ve ever attended, and combine it with a powerful message; that’s a little what Eswatini is like – every week. As Heather said, we now […]
Beauty Bathed in Sunlight
Today was a beautiful day at Youth Leaders Retreat. It was certainly a long day but we are leaving this day deeply grateful for the relationships built today with friends, for the messages we’ve seen and shared, and for the hope we have in Jesus. We heard messages and testimonies […]

After traveling from all corners of the world, we have finally gotten settled into BIMS (the Baptist Mission house in Joburg) and are trying to (as Wayne Myers would say) “rest fast.” Today […]

We traveled safely and arrived at Johannesburg airport at 3:30 pm for our 7:55 pm flight. The team was ready to begin […]
