Outreach Team Returns Safe and Sound

On Wednesday, September 2, 2009, our Outreach Team returned home from a 14 day journey to Swaziland.



There were plenty of hugs and handshakes to go around as the team arrived in the baggage claim area.











Family, friends and several CLC staff members were on hand to celebrate the safe return and incredible work accomplished by the team. Despite the long plane ride home, there was excitement in the air as the travelers began sharing some of their experiences.















As we wrote previously, the focus of this team was on outreach. Through the women's retreat, men's discipleship discussion group and the Seeds for Swaziland project, we strove to share the hope of the gospel and the saving love of Jesus. Through their words and deeds our team planted seeds - spiritual as well as actual seeds. It is our hope that those seeds fell on "good ground"; that there are now people in Swaziland who have a better understanding of God's Word and who, with the help of the Holy Spirit, will begin to grow and bear much fruit. (see Matthew 13: 1-26) Please join us in continuing to pray for those who were ministered to by this team. Through them, may the nation be changed for Christ!
