On the 7th, we left Mozambique in route of Nelspruit, South Africa for Month 4 debrief. T.I.A.-Afircaare very “do as you please” type of people. On the morning of the 7th, we were told chapas would be at Beacon of Hope to drive us to South Africa at 7 am. Come 8 am, 2 other teams had arrived. Come 11 am, the final team met up with up . Come 12:30, Angie, our contact from Mozambique bought us all lunch. Finally, 2:30 pm, 2 chapas roll up with trailers for our packs. Okay, so you think this is crazy, just you wait and see. We were told it would take 2 hour to get to Nelspruit (if lucky). We finally got to debrief at 8:30, 4 hours later than expected. I swear we got stopped cloes to 8 times-officers curious why there were duffle bags on trailers. Africa is crazy, let’s just say that.
Now to debrief.State-side staff caome out to see us and to encourage us after our last month of craziness on the World Race. So much teaching was brought that was needed. A few things I must share-knowing that they changed my perspective on the rest of this Race.
1) Megan Dietrich and Joshua Maisner, our old squad leaders are amazing! Without them, I would not have gotten through this. Their paths are marked with success and blessing as they head back into life in America.
2) God gives us promotions that look like demotions. Look at the story of Joseph. He faced many trials-being thrown into the well, Potiphar’s wife, prison, but was lifeted up to a new place and was given his calling.
a. We have to go through “fire” in order to get the fruit of His promise.
3) Healing is in my hands.
a. One of my new squad leaders, Nick Hayden, was prophecying over me at Debrief. He told me that my fire months had already passed and that I would see the fruit in the months to come. Every month I will see healing, because I am a healer.
So, I am now in Swaziland! Wootwoot! This land belong to God and he will lead me and Team Ruach and 220 to where we need to go. This month is going to be great and we are going to see so much! Can’t wait to tell you all about it! Please be in prayer for open eyes and ears on both sides, us and for those we will encounter! Love you guys!!!!!
