A Message From Kylee

We received a quick e-mail from Kylee early this morning. Here's a portion of that message:

I have safely made it to Swaziland! It is great here and the country's landscape and its people are beautiful. Thank you SO MUCH for your prayers. God is so good and He got our whole team to Swaziland safely with only a few late bags. The flight was long but myself and many of the team members were able to get some rest. Near a full day of traveling does get you a little confused at what time it really is but all of us have adjusted quite well. The 3rd construction team are a group of funny guys with hearts for God and I think they are going to do awesome work on the Hawane CLC project.

Saturday we went to the cultural village to learn about traditional Swazi culture. It was a great experience and at the end we got to see some very interesting and powerful dancing by both men and women. They even pulled some of us (including me) out to dance and let me tell you I had no idea how to move like them! Lots of fun though.

Sunday we went to both the church service at Potter's Wheel Church (Pastor Kevin) and the church at Hawane Farm (Pastor Augustin). God is confirming that I am to share with the teenage girls about who we are in Christ. I look forward to it. The services were great and the church at the farm sings in SiSwati which is great. The woman next to me would lean over a couple times and tell me the main chorus of the song. It was precious when she said to me "Jesus Is Lord of All" to fill me in on the lyrics. It is beautiful for the body of Christ to be worshipping in unity. We were asked by Pastor Augustin to each share a few words with their congregation and I shared 2 Cor. 5:15.

I have been helping out so far at the job site with the men. There's lots to do including painting, some plumbing, and lots of other construction stuff. We are believing for God to do miracles and to complete the project so the pastor and his family can move in. God is doing great things. Monday, lots of progress was made on the house before even lunch time. We may be visiting the homesteads soon too, so may God use us mightily according to His perfect will. May His love flow through us freely and completely.

Prayer Requests:

1) God's leading and wisdom as to where I should serve the body of Christ here. There are so many opportunities and I know God already has it planned. Pray I would hear from God clearly and follow Him fully.

2) The cell group for teenage girls I will be leading on Thursdays at 5pm (11am in US) that God would prepare their hearts, give them receptiveness to me and God's Word, give them a hunger and thirst for righteousness and purity. Pastor Augustin's oldest daughter may be joining our group.

3) God's power to flow in and through the 3rd team as they minister here. For God to do AMAZING, seemingly impossible things and for the pastor's home and orphans home to be completed before they leave for back home; but not as we will but as God wills.

4) God's will in Emma's (the nurse who has faithfully served here for 3 yrs after just coming originally for a 9 month trip) journey back to the UK, God's leading in her life as she plans to come back to the farm soon, His divine provision for her missions work (so valuable to the kids at Hawane Farm), and God's restoration during this time.

5) God's will regarding transportation for me. I may be learning to drive here or at least needing a ride to the youth group I think I will be involved in leading in town on Friday nights.


It is awesome to receive such wonderful and joy-filled news! Please continue to be in prayer for Kylee and the construction team. As she said let's ask and trust God to do "AMAZING, seemingly impossible things!"
