We are nearing the end of our time here in South Africa. It has been a wonderful time of seeing what God is up to here in S. Africa. We are off to church at Mosaiek Church this morning - it will be a great time of worship. The service will be in Afrikaans, but they have translating services for us so we can follow along. After the service, we will head directly into Swaziland. It is about 7 hour drive to our lodging and we are excited! We plan on arriving to our Swaziland lodging about noon Colorado Springs time.
We will be writing blogs every day, however, we might not be able to post every day due to the lack of internet services. Please continue to pray for our team. The time is well rested and everybody is healthy and feeling well, but we know that the week ahead will challenge and stretch us.
Thank you for the support, prayers, and comments that you have given us. The team loved reading through the comments left on the blogs yesterday!
For the team,
Matt
Matt and Jenn,
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that I am praying for you and the team daily. I not only pray for your safety but also for strength and endurance, as well as open hearts to how God wants to move. I thank you for keeping our "babies" (lol) safe and showing them how big of a world that God has out there for them!!
Sending my prayers,
Michelle Christina
We are praying for your traveling and for your hearts as you enter this part of your journey.
ReplyDeleteEach of you are there for a specific purpose and He has chosen you for this time. Trust and Rest in His calling. You may not completely understand exactly why He wants you there for weeks, months, or even years to come but He has called and you have answered. We are all so proud of each one of you...
Matt- Tell Jen happy birthday from all of her friends in Colorado Springs!
ReplyDeleteWe are so grateful to hear from you and all your experiences you have had so far. Thank you for answering God’s call, for your willingness to step away from your safe and comfortable lives, to allow God to shine His light through you to a country so desperate for his love. How exciting it is to know that God has brought each of you there, even with your imperfections :), not just to do His work there, but to mold you and change you from the inside out, into the person he has intended each of you to be.
ReplyDeleteWe pray each day that your heart would break for what breaks Gods heart and that with humility you would be able to serve and love on the people there…only then can you (we) even begin to understand the big picture God has so beautifully painted for us! God bless each of you with strength, endurance, good health and safety through the rest of your trip and we can’t wait to see you when you return.
Skip and Helen Boyle P.S. Love you Danny :)
It has been so great reading all of the posts and to read what you all are experiencing! What an amazing opportunity!!! Can't wait to read and hear more stories when you come back home! Praying for all of you!
