so my team and i are in joburg, south africa.  we got our india visas yesterday…which was a huge task to get completed.  we are leaving for swaziland tomorrow morning and will be there until july 25. 
 
as you know we spent the past month in cape town…or gordon’s bay.  it was absolutely beautiful and it was a time for our team to sit back and listen to what God had to say to us.  one things for sure everything i prayed about happened…sooner than i thought it would.  i found myself asking God to not allow me to be decieved about anything…well He answered me and i was confronted time after time.  did it hurt when i felt i was being beaten up?  sure.  but it was great.  when you come out on the other end knowing God was with you the entire way and He is still with you and loves you all the same it makes the pains of grwing not so bad.  actually it makes you want to go through it all over again.
 
there are so many things that have happened this month…so many things i have learned and things i have only heard but am trying to learn.  everything listed on the previous blog are things that are going through my head. 
 
one thing that was great that i can talk about because it’s easy is that my team is awesome.   not only are the girls and i digging deep into each other’s lives but they decided to pay for me to have a little fun while i was there.  they all pitched in and paid for me to go shark cage diving!  it was awesome!!!! so thanks to my team i was able to go out there with them.  besides sea sickness it was a ton of fun.
 
so all of you who are praying for us here are some things to keep on your mind…
1. pray that money would be there for us to do all that we would like to in swaziland…there will be a lot of traveling and ministry expenses so our dollar needs to stretch.
2. pray for rachel and her family…she is still in the states.  (her father passed away a few weeks ago.)
3. people have been getting sick in swazi so pray against that.
4. pray for divine appointments…there is so much ministry available to us while we are there.  i really want our team to see every approtunity to bring life and speak truth over people.  i think this is going to be a powerful month for us but we need prayers to go up daily.
 
thanks everyone for what you are doing.  i wish all of you could experience what i have been able to with the Body, with God and do this thing with me.  it is worth every penny, every minute i’m here, and all the energy that has gone into it.
