In a country where the very fabric of society has been torn by a disease the beacons of hope appear few and far between. The disease has made a clear and brutal mark on this beautiful small country yet the hope is palpable here in Bulembu. The place has a feel, an expectancy about it..
After a long day of travel, setting up tents and just getting to know the place we have found a town, a people and ourselves in a position to do God’s will here and now. All of us are in a position to make a difference and we are now in a place where we can serve others.
“Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, the great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting convenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in what you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom glory be forever and ever. Amen” – Hebrews 13:20-21
The feel of the group is, as with the town, one of expectancy and excitement. Swazi 1000 is about making a change and we are on our knees as we give these two weeks to this community. We are on our knees before God, hoping that the changes we make may reverberate into the lives of the people. We are on our knees before God knowing the challenges we face can only be dealt with through His power. We are on our knees as there is no other way in which we could make any difference without Him.
