Three weeks ago while we were finishing up our time in Dondo, Mozambique I opened up an email from my friend Cassie Morgan. She was finishing up her time in Swaziland,Africa and was about to head back to the States. She shared what the Lord had been doing in her heart and how he had broke her for a little orphan girl named Donzula.
It just so happened that my team was going to be in Swaziland in a few days and although I would not be able to see her, she invited me to share a piece of the Lords heart with her. In the email she explained she had found this little girl who needed Love. She had been caring for little Donzula for a while now and now that she was leaving she wanted me find this little orphan and care for her. Something in me was touched and I was determined to find her.
Praying as I closed the email, thinking our time in Swaziland would be short, I said, “If you want this Lord, then make it happen.” Within three days of our debrief we were told for the next five weeks to find our own ministry and walk by faith. The Lord had now given us the time and freedom to find her. Since then we have talked to a bunch of different people, found a place to stay about five minutes from the community we think she was at and our ready to find the Lords one. I love how our God searches us out one by one and captures our hearts. How he loving takes us into his hand, looks us in the eyes and breathes life.
So far I will be honest the race has been tough. Things get dry at times and tiresome and sometimes it’s hard being around the same people all the time. You eat, sleep and share the same air with them. Being church not going to church is a whole lot harder than I could have ever imagined. After six months of outreaches, church gatherings, group meetings, debriefs, and prayer meetings, you would think we would have a clearer view of what the word Church means. What I do know is that we continue where one saint stops. That the walls are built by the masses not by the one and the most important thing is to be loved by the one who gave his life for the masses. If all I can do is find her, pick her up, look her in the eyes and say “Hello, I’m Cassies friend.” Then it’s worth it because Christ is worth it. We have a chance to be the Lords hands and feet so pray that we find little Donzula. Pray the Lord teach us through this journey what it means to be Church. What it means to be family. What is means to be a saint.
