Basketball and Bracelets

TOday was our first visit to the schools here in Swaizland. 2 teams went out and worked with the kids playing ball and cheering and learning about GOd's purpose for their lives. Our team went to a wonderful International School. The children were amazing. They loved us more than we could have possibly loved them. Along with teaching them basketball skills we had a devotional station. They learned that God loves them and has a purpose for their lives then we had them write their names on cloth bracelets that we will bring back home with us. They were so excited to know that we will be praying for them when we return home. They were bright and curious and so thnakful for our time and encouragement. The teachers and staff were so grateful also. We learned that God is here, yet the struggle with ancestrial worship is still present. Some of the children wanted us to stay forever. It is truly a blessing to be able to touch these children's lives and share with them. The country here is beautiful and the people are also. The culture is amazing, We have all learned a cool new handshake.

We are here at HPC Swaziland Campus and are getting ready for a great night of worship and Rolfe teaching the word. Please contiue praying for everyone on the team. We can feel the covering over us all and everyone is doing great!!!

That's all for now from Elizabeth and Nancy!!!!
