Hello everyone. Thank you for all the comments I have been
getting lately. It is so encouraging to see how Swaziland is impacting so many
people. This small kingdom has changed my heart and it seems to be doing the
same to many back home. Praise God.

This past week my team was challenged with the question, "What
would someone in your circumstances do if they were absolutely confident that
God was with them?" I have known since I was little that God is with me and he
will never leave me but I realized that so many times I do not live like it. I
pray safe prayers and try not to challenge too much. How would I live if I was
confident, not just had the knowledge, but was confident that God is with me everywhere
I go and in everything I do? What about you? Living in the states, would you be
living any differently? It's something definitely worth thinking about and
praying through.

I don't have very much to post today but I do have some
important things I need the church to be praying for. Some of the textile factories
in Swaziland
have not been paying their workers and so the workers went on strike. The
factories then just fired them all saying they could get anyone to work there.
The public transportation workers, which are the backbone of Swaziland considering
everyone here takes public, went on strike for the textile workers and started
to riot. It only lasted one day and then they went back to work saying that if
the demands weren't met by the 28^th they would strike and riot
again. Everyone I talk to says if it comes to that it will be worse this time. My
team and I have been safe and will continue to be careful. None of us will be
going into town on Friday just to be safe. Please pray for this small restless
nation. Many people are angry with the government and for good reason. It is so
corrupt and the people are realizing it. Pray that agreements will be met
without violence and that there might be both progress and peace. Pray that God
might use these events to move this country to him in a powerful way. Thank you
so much.
