Monday we, Mary and I (Jenn), started the great shoe give away! We had 6 boxes of children’s shoes donated to Chips which is one box for each area that we serve. Also we have a huge surplus of cabbage, lettuce, beetroot and spinach from our garden so it will be the great veggie give away as well. Our garden is producing so many more crops than last year which is a huge praise report! While Mary and I were doing the giveaway, Jabulane and Ian went Manzini to take the kombi to get certificates of road worthiness.
The data base that the four of us have been working on is finally coming together. It's taken a lot of work and we even brought some of it home to catch up on. Last week we received a couple boxes of clothing to pass out. It never ceases to amaze us how God continues to provide much needed items for us to pass out to those who are most needy. Truly He cares for the ones that have nothing of their own. Please continue to pray with us that God will provide for all of the needs of the wonderful people that we serve and that they would be drawn to know Him through the tangible evidence of His love.

3 excited kids, 1 spinning canoe and a mission!
What do you get when you put three kids in a canoe and give them a mission to get to an island? A humorous scene with one kid paddling like crazy and the other two giving conflicting directions causing the canoe to spin in circles and get stuck in the weeds!
Two weeks ago, I, Ian, went to help out with the Simuyne children's Sunday school camp. The theme was the Armor of God and being more than conquerors in Christ. On Saturday the kids were split up into three groups. Another leader and I were in charge of the group at the dam. The kids had to get into a canoe, paddle out to the island, find the memory verse on the island, memorize it and then had to come repeat the verse to us before heading back to do their next task. There were many laughs while watching the kids struggle to make it to the island and back!
I lead one message on Ephesians 6:10-18 about putting on the armor of God and we even had an armor suit that the kids used to put on. The kids shared that they had learned about faith, trust, and working together. Sunday morning we shared about the mind and attitude of a conqueror. At the end of the message, six children came and gave their life to Christ. One of the kids came up to me and asked me to pray with him since he wasn't sure that he was saved.
It was such a blessing to be with the children and to see how much they love the Lord. I also learned how much God can do when you are focused on Him.
