Grace Loves Swaziland

When Melanie and I were in Africa last year, we had the opportunity to visit the small country of Swaziland. Our hearts were stirred with a desire to help these precious people in any way possible. When we returned home, we shared our burden with others and our Father touched the hearts of many to participate in showing Christ's love to the village of Mafutseni in a tangible way.

This video consists of the pictures recently sent to me, taken during the celebration of the village receiving the food we have provided. We've received enough donations to help feed this village for the rest of 2008. We have received the money to dig a well, which will happen before the end of the year.

The building you see with the bags of maize (corn meal), beans, and oil was empty when we were there. It was in that building that we met with the Chief of Mafutseni and with his tribal council. Now, as you see in these shots, the room is filled with food which will be distributed to the people there.

Our goal is to dig four more wells in Mafutseni, allowing them the opportunity to irrigate their crops and to become self-sufficent. Will you consider helping? Email me for more information on digging these wells. This would be a great project for your family, your Sunday School class, your Grace Walk Group or even your church. Let's continue to pray for the people of Swaziland and let's move forward together to show them Jesus' love.

P.S. I hope to upload pictures and video of our recent GW Leadership Summit in Niagara, Ontario last week. We all had a wonderful time and are excited about the days ahead in ministry.
