Hello Swaziland!

I leave tomorrow, June 1st, for a three week stay in Swaziland! I'm traveling with three friends, two from my trip last year and a friend from Nashville. We arrive in Swaziland on June 3rd around 4pm their time, that's 9am central time.

I don't know if it's really sunk in yet that I'm going. I thought for sure when I packed my bag earlier today, that it would have. But I'm sure when I step on that flight, it will all become real.

This trip is a time to visit with those I love but also a time to figure out more details about things Roots of Hope Ministries hopes to accomplish. Right now, all of our plans are just ideas; this trip will sort ideas that are realistic from those that are not.

I'm so excited to see Lindo. All the children at the DIC have no idea we're coming. I'm looking forward to walking up the hill that the center sits on and seeing all of their faces as they realize who we are!

I feel very blessed to know that I have all your support and prayers while I'm away. Please pray for safety as we travel and safety in Swaziland. Pray that the list of questions I have pertaining to Roots of Hope find answers, but more importantly, that Roots of Hope transforms from my vision into the Lord's vision for Swaziland. Ask God to use us in Mighty ways. Our trip has no details or plans mapped out, we want to let God use us as He desires. I urge you to pray against Satan as our time in Swaziland is most precious to the Lord, it is most hated by Satan.

I also want to take this time to thank everyone who has already supported Roots of Hope Ministries. May you be blessed as you have chosen to bless others.

I will be blogging while I'm gone, so make sure to pop-in once in a while to keep up to date on what God’s doing in Swaziland while we’re there.

See you all in three weeks!
