Hey Friends! It’s been awhile. I’m in the middle of a personal update, which will be posted soon, but saw this on Seth Barnes (the founder of Adventures in Missions) blog and had to share it with you.
My teammates and I spent last July starting up the Nsoko care point project in Swaziland. It’s amazing to see what God has done there during the last 9 months! Check out the “read the story” link below to see where things in Nsoko started from!
Also, check out this article I wrote about Swaziland that was in the e-zine, Wrecked for the Ordinary….
It was a good day for orphans
It was a good day for orphans yesterday, at least in my world.
We
had found 95 orphans in the Swaziland dirt last summer with no one to
look after them. We felt God saying, “Take care of them.” You can read the story
of how we started on Morgan’s blog. And God took our efforts and
multiplied them. Here’s a video of the inauguration of our first center
for these orphans. You can see my partners in crime, Gary Black and
Andrew Shearman in all their glory.
[Incidentally,
if any of you are interested in traveling to see and work on this
project June 18-25 with Gary and I and our wives, please get in touch
with me. We’re conducting a vision trip there. Go to Lisa’s blog to see more about it.]
And over in Pakistan, you remember last month I shared
about the plight of six orphans in Pakistan that Emmanuel, a pastor
friend of mine, had asked help for. I threw it out there and a bunch of
you said that you’d help. Well, we sent the money yesterday and today
those six kids will have big smiles on their faces! Thanks so much for
caring. Thank you for practicing what the Bible calls “true religion” –
helping orphans in their distress. I hope to pass along an update from
them in the future.
