In the midst of all the chaos of Nsoko, I took a few days to go back to the city to get some more footage of the D-Team (Discipleship Team) in action. I was able to see two more care points that they work with outside of Manzini. There was a bit of a swine flu scare in the area, and really caused me to think about what happens when something like that breaks out in an impoverished area. For many of them, there are no finances or transport means to get to a clinic. So do the people just die?
It really brought perspective to what it means for the D-team to be present in these rural communities. They provide not only food and discipleship, but also basic health-care, and in serious cases, are able to transport and pay for hospital fees.
Thank you for the prayers as I work on these videos. It’s been a lot of work, but continue to pray that it pays off for the ministries out here.
