here lately, the Lord has put the nation of swaziland on my heart and i have been praying for this nation fervently.  if ever a country can break ones heart and spur someone to do mission work, it is this nation.  it is a nation that still dreams and hopes for a bright future despite the calamities that have befallen it.  HIV/aids has ravaged swaziland but i know that the power of Christ is working there and that He is calling us to partner with HIm be His hands and his feet for His people.  below is a video that might be somewhat dated, but nonetheless will give you a good idea of what is going on in swaziland.  i also invite you to check out the blog page of our adventures in missions pastor there at http://pastorgift.myadventures.org/  for a great perspective on swaziland as well as our swaziland site at http://swaziland.myadventures.org/
 
the hope of the nations is the power of Christ that resides in all His followers.  Do we have the spirit of Isaiah when in chapter 6 he says “here i am Lord….SEND ME!!!!!”  I invite you to read stories of heartbreak and breakthrough and to be obedient to what the Lord is putting on your heart.
