We are finally leaving for Swaziland! We will be hitting the road on 19 February at 06:00, early I know, and will be back on 22 February. Our first stop will be the GTT (teaching for the Elders/Leaders by New Covenant Church) in Manzini.
During the next few days we will be at the Manzini Open Market, New Covenant Church in Manzini, Execution Rock, hopefully visit a care point of Children’s HopeChest, showing the Jesus Film and a few more stops. The highlights definitely will be seeing Emanuelle and all our friends at the Open Market and visiting Pastor Cajafas Magagula and his wife Bonnie at their church!
I’m just going through all the Scripture and prophetic word we’ve received thus far:
God gave us a picture of Emanuelle and Cajafas taking over a rope from us and said that He will give them a new revelation of how to lead the lost to Him. And we would be the instruments He will be using in teaching them how this should be done. Wow, this really makes me super excited!
Isaiah 28: 9-13, verse 11 just jumped out to me: “For by people of strange lips and with a foreign tongue the Lord will speak to His people …” Isn’t it awesome that God is using ordinary people like you and me to bring the Good News to the people of Swaziland. I really do believe that it is part of His plan for Blaze Team and that the team that is going NOW, is specifically elected for this specific time to be in Swaziland.
God also gave us these two words: Renewed vision. I can already feel the change happening in and around us, God is really shaking things up and I believe that with this change will also come a renewed vision.
I pray that we will continue to be in God’s Will, that we will be His instruments and that we will do whatever we will be doing there because it comes from our hearts and not it just because it feels right.
Keep us in your prayers and also continue to pray for Swaziland and it’s people.
