There are about 80-90 kids that go to the DIC, and we're only able to gather enough information for about 35 of them. Hopefully, in the upcoming month we'll be able to put together profiles for all of the children and set each one of them up with a prayer partner!
We'll also be selling Roots of Hope t-shirts by next month so be sure to keep an eye out for those!
I am excited about where Roots of Hope is headed! I feel like a lot of work has gone into Roots of Hope, but not much has come together until now. There were times when I just wanted to give up; when nothing seemed to be working and every direction I took was a dead end. But, God is faithful and never seizes to amaze me. Romans 12:11-13 "Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."
Please keep praying for us and for the kids!
I might have already said this, but TESSA! I am soo proud of you, I know that this ministry is making God smile. As we know the people, and especially the children and orphans of Swaziland need the love of Jesus. I am so blessed and inspired by what you are doing. I can't believe it was almost two years ago that you were my bunkmate:) There is not a day that goes by that I don't long to see the faces of the Swazis I love so much. It's been hard being back in America knowing what people I love are going through so far away, and as I'm sure you understand- people just don't get it... or rather people don't know. Your vision is exactly what I know God can and will do. We need to erase that stamp of expiration!!and give them the love that only the hands and feet of Christ can bring! AMEN! Praise God for what he's doing huh. Sorry for rambling :)
