Swaziland mission report

The hills of Bulembu ring out with the silent peace of God. What a beautiful town because of what God is doing there amongst the community and mainly with children. A children's pastors dream with 200 orphans and the goal to accomodate 2000 by 2020. Our team spent the week there running an amazing holiday club put together by my wonderful wife. the 160 kids who attended each day were so blessed. We shared the gospel, we taught on prayer, Bible reading and hearing God's voice and saw in the spiritual God breaking the chains and healing hearts. Our team loved the kids and built so well with them. Then we also visited different parts of the restoring town and heard inspiring stories. We broke down walls literally and painted and gardened. We looked after the creche for an afternoon and showed God Man to all the children in two different locations. We worked very hard but it was so rewarding. The Nevilles hosted us so well and we blessed them with fellowship and prayer. Having my nieces join with us was so cool to see. They of course live in Bulembu. Our team overcame personal hurdles and was a big happy family and we believe they will be different because of this. One kids said it was a week of total awesomeness, and he happily gave up his World Cup tickets to come on this mission. My son, Kenan asked if he could burn his passport so he could stay in Bulembu!
Driving thru the dark to share the gospel with kids is what missions are made of. A new chapter of Jozi Kidz missions has been birthed....

  1. Thank you to you all for giving the children such an awesome opportunity to be part of this. I know that it will be a memory that Caleb carries with him for the rest of his life.
