Sowing Seeds

In Matthew 13:1-9, Jesus tells the parable of the Sower and the seeds. Our Seeds for Swaziland (S4S) Team has been busy sewing seeds (real and spritual) this week. In fact on Wednesday, they planted 10.... that's right 10...... vegetable gardens. But wait, there is more! The tiller they were using broke, and so many of the plots had to be prepared by hand! Luckily, our guys have been joined by young men from the Swaziland Teen Challenge Life Skills School. This has been an immense help in getting the gardens planted. But more importantly, it has provided opportunities for our men to pour into the lives of the TCMI guys and model a servant's heart for them. These are the types of seeds that ultimately produce the greatest fruit. We ask for God's blessings on all the workers.

In addition to planting the gardens, our S4S teeam is leading a men's discipleship retreat. Last weekend there were 45 men who attended the first day of the retreat and 30 men (8 of them new) who attended on Sunday afternoon. The retreat will conclude this weekend. It is our hope that those who came last weekend will be able to return and that they will bring other men with them. What a blessing CLC Hawane has been to the community it serves. Lives are being changed. Praise God!
