A love for the lost
I am still in
Swaziland
but will be heading to
South
Africa
on Saturday.
I have been going to different care points
what is a “care point” you ask? It is a place where the orphans can come and stay during
the day, there Go-go’s (Grandmother’s) who volunteer to take care of the children during the day. They also feed the street children this is usually the only meal they eat all day. One of the
care points I went to was in the rural area. The children ran to greet us as
we were driving up. We were asked to come into the hut for lunch and were fed rice
and beans. The women were so excited to see us they did not even eat. We
brought them fruit as a gift and they kept trying to feed it to us, we would
say no it is your gift… you eat, after lunch I sat down on the ground and
looked around me, children who had no parents, no one to love them, were
laughing and running around, dancing and singing. This one little boy came and
sat in my lap, put his head on my shoulder I started rubbing his back and
singing a song, he didn’t say anything just looked up and smiled. He had a bad case of worms
and his little tummy stuck out like a pregnant women. He was so proud of his
belly; he kept patting it and smiling. I can’t wait to share more stories,
I am grateful to be here and I am trusting that God will work out the details.
The only way I was able to come to Africa right now was if I stayed in
South Africa
at a place called “Alabonza” It is a sending place for missionaries,
but I still feel the call to
Swaziland
which is 5 hours away! Please pray that God will continue to direct my steps. Thank
you so much for the prayers and emails, it means more than you could ever know.
Knowing I have support in the states keeps me moving. God has been so good! I
love you and look forward to hearing more from you.
I am sorry I did not get to see you before you left. I miss you already. We are going to Garrett’s B-Day party tonight. I love you!!!!!! Will be praying for you.
Hey girl!
Sounds like you’re right in the middle of the people…which is right where you love to be! Let the little fella know that I’m proud of my belly too!
But I’m even more proud of you. Keep being Jesus.
Love,
Scott
