I’m sitting here thinking about all the things experienced
here.
As we show up to the care points
the kids run to meet us.
We walk down to
the wooden shack the Go Go’s work in and greet them.
Veus Mossi Ruby the head cook says to
me.
Come and help me Veus and scrub this
pot.
I love it.
There are times I just stare at the hut with
hanging boards and exposed rusted nails and think, this is the most beautiful
thing I have ever seen.
I walk and
circle the place trying to find new kids to meet but now I think we have met
them all.
Our time here has been so
good.
I have never missed a country this
much before.
God’s heart for the orphan is so huge.
I believe the Lord’s redeeming power is going
to burn this generation with his word.
One
morning in church God spoke to me.
He
said he wants to burn the land with his glory and that he wants to use the
orphans in this land.
He want to burn
the land with his word and rain down tears of joy to revive
Swaziland.
The statistics in the nation are enough to make a person
feel hopeless.
You walk down the street
and watch people pass by and it’s hard to imagine that six out of ten of them
will be dead in the next five years.
Aids is killing the middle generations and leaving the children to fend
for themselves in a country that keeps its grasp upon witchcraft and the ways
of a fallen generation.
Our hope is to train these children up in the ways of the
Lord.
Show them their heavenly father
and love them with His arms.
I know the
Lord is going to do a work here.
I know
God loves to uses the foolish things of the world to prove power.
Father I thank you for all that you have done in us and
through us.
I thank you for your heart
for the orphan and I pray you send more workers to come and disciple this
rising generation.
