treasured visits

Pastor Ken and Brenda came to visit at the beginning of Sept, soon after he returned from Europe. We were so encouraged by their visit and had a good time sharing what God has done and is doing. They gave a lot of good advice and helped us gain a different perspective on several things. Ideas for various micro-industries were flowing when they were here.

There was good news about Pastor Dlamini, he is doing well, though his wife, Siphewe, is sick. Please pray for her. The Hope School children are all doing well. Praise God!

Several days later Pastor Ken called with an offer of money to start a day care. So we found an abandoned community kitchen in Macethuka (the Swazi spelling of Matatuga) that would be ideal. The day care would be such a blessing to the families around as most of the women spend all days working in the field for $3 (US equivilant) a day. We will meet with the people who oversee the bulding.

Pastor Ken, Brenda and the congregation of Mbabane chapel has been so encouraging and supportive. We're so thankful to have them in our lives.

We are looking forward to the visit of our friend Candy, from the States. She will arrive in Mbabane on Sept 16 and will stay over a week.
