Swaziland Sweet Swaziland!

Well, the team finally set foot on Swaziland soil - approximately 38 hours after leaving Dayton! They had a full day and are settled in to spend the night in cabins at Hawane CLC.



Sunday morning, they will arise and head to Potter's Wheel Church to worship. Our ICBC partner, Pastor Kevin Ward, is the Senior Pastor at Potter's Wheel. The mission of Potter's Wheel is "To know God, be His people, value others and change our world" (sound familiar?). Their vision is to WIN-TRAIN-SEND:

"Winning the un-churched of Swaziland through partnering with like-minded individuals, churches and organizations, to preserve the future by Training up a remnant to become an accurate representation of Christianity, being lived out amongst a communit of believers and Sending out from a restored Swaziland to a world in need."

After worshipping at Potter's Wheel, the team will head off to Lavumisa. Five members of the Potter's Wheel congregation will join the team for the week-long construction project at Lavumisa. On the way to the site, the team will stop for dinner at Martie's home. This will allow them to fellowship with their new "teammates". Once the meal is finished, the team will continue the journey to Lavumisa - complete with a packed lunch so they won't have to worry about cooking at the campsite their first night.

Upon arriving at Lavumisa, Pastor Sabelo will greet them He is the current pastor of the small community church on the site and will be the pastor for CLC Lavumisa. He is very excited about what God is about to do in the Lavumisa region and we are thankful for his leadership.







As you lift this team up in prayer, please pray that they stay focused on the opportunity God as presented to them and for the amazing things God has in store for them. May they realize how blessed they are to have lives filled with hope, worship, thanksgiving and prayer! We also pray for health, rest and peace. Thank you for interceding on their behalf!
