Lavumisa Team Takes to the Sky

After weeks of planning and preparation CLC's first construction team to Lavumisa, Swaziland took to the sky this afternoon. When the first members of the team arrived at the airport, the ovehead music system was playing "That's What Faith Can Do" by Kutless. We took this as a very good sign. We were also grateful that the sun made an appearance today. It was a great day for flying!

This construction team will join with members of Potter' Wheel Church as well as members from the Lavumisa community to put up the sandbag walls of Lavumisa CLC. This is an exciting time for everyone involved as we begin our second ICBC (In Community By Community) church plant project in Swaziland in just over 3 years.





Surrounded by family and friends, the team left Dayton at approximately 2:30 p.m. today and arrived at Washington IAD about 3:34. After a brief layover, they departed for Johannesburg, South Africa just after 5:30. They will be air-born for close to 16 hours. This can be a long time, especially as the body adjusts to losing 7 hours as they cross the Atlantic Ocean.

In the coming days updates and other information about the team will be posted here. Be sure to check back.

We covet your prayers for the team over the next two weeks. May they stay safe and healthy; may they be bold witnesses and effective workers; may they be a blessing to others and be blessed themselves; may their presence in Lavumisa bring light and hope to the community; may God hold them in the palm of His hand until they return safely home.
