The Medical Team shares chocolate mousse and fireside chats

How blessed we’ve been during our time here. This morning we gathered at Potter’s Wheel church for our final service alongside the Swazi’s, South African’s (that live here), and visiting team’s from Northern Ireland. With wonderful worship (Echo at the keyboard and Harry singing), a guest speaker from Ireland, and a-mazing donuts, coffee and tea, our Sunday morning was full of Christ, fellowship, and food! (These donuts are killer…you’ll just have to come over here to try ‘em!)

The remainder of the day was restful filled with a restaurant lunch as hippo’s, crocodiles, and roaming wharthogs hung out with us nearby.

Tonight we are all gathered at Harry and Echo’s home for our last night of fireside chat (minus the fireside.) Harry has made some of his much talked about chocolate mousse and we are all just sitting here sharing thoughts, prayers, stories and testimonies. One of our best moments will be this night. What a gift and honor it has been to work alongside The Luke Commission and share in the Lord’s mission. We are all so blessed. What the Lord has showed us I pray will move us to continue searching and seeking the Lord as He moves in our own lives. Harry and Echo shared with us some “wisdom notes” tonight I want to pass on to you:

“Stepping out on faith does not allow for earthly perfection and it does not make human sense.”

“Following God’s call, requires you to jump off a cliff. We must be completely vulnerable and fully trust Him in order to experience His matchless power.”

With these words we leave you tonight as we prepare for our last day of ministry in Swaziland tomorrow - our last clinic. Pray for God’s mercy and love to shine through our feeble ways and a healing of the Spirit to cover this land. Thank you for all your prayers and love you’ve sent our way. We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday and sharing with you our stories. To God be the Glory.
