Safe and Sound in Swaziland

Once again, God has proven Himself faithful and has answered our prayers. Our medical team arrived as expected in Swaziland today (8:30 p.m. Swaziland time; 2:30 p.m. local time). And as an added blessing, all of their luggage arrived with them!

They were greeted at the airport by the VanderWals. After going through customs they drove about 30 minutes to the house in which they will be staying for the next 10 days. According to Echo they "had a good time of fellowship". As this blog is posted, the team has settled in for some much needed rest.

We look forward with anticipation to all that will happen in the days ahead. The weather forecast looks great; sunshine every day with daytime highs in the mid to upper 70's and night time lows in the mid 40's (okay, so that may be a little chilly!). At this time of year sunrise occurrs about 6:27 a.m. and the sun sets about 5:30.

There are several clinics scheduled in the days ahead and they are expecting very large crowds while the team is there. We covet your continued prayers for the team's safety and effectiveness. May they not only minister to the physicial needs of those with whom they come in contact, but more importantly may God use the team to change hearts for Christ.
