Hard to tell, but this is the carepoint where our roof was blown away.
We have been so busy!! Sorry to all of our faithful readers for the lack of posts!! The Elevate team was here from July 26th to August 5th. It was absolutely amazing having them here. They worked so hard and really accomplished alot. They really stepped up the plate after Swaziland was hit with the worst windstorm in Swazi history. It desrtoyed tons of homes and left people without power and water for days. Like Katrina, people truly lost everything. Stick homes didn't stand a chance. Please continue to pray for these people. On a lighter note, elevate really encouraged Charles and I and totally lifted our spirits from spiritual exhaustion. They poured out into the community in lasting ways. On their 3rd night here, they held a youth service where there were 40 first time salvations. These kids are forever changed because of the elevate team. We are forever changed by the elevate team. I know that we have developed an unbreakable bond with each person on that team. We miss them so much already!! Pray for us as we coninue to have teams here. We love everyone so much!! Email us!!
