There are fourteen people coming to Nsoko later this month for a Vision Trip. They will experience ministry at the CarePoints and will visit homes in the area doing a census, and finding out the needs of the people.  Pastor Gift is recruiting some youth to help as translators for the Vision Trip.

We are planning a retreat for some of the Swazi women, including counseling and helping with spiritual and mental healing. This is for women we interviewed plus about 10 more that are suffering with HIV and taking ARV's (Medication).

We are having the gogo's (grandmothers) in the area each paint their own I AM box. We have done this project with many of the children; it gives them an opportunity to talk about whatever they need to and to be prayed over. The outside of the box is decorated to tell of their stories and memories. On the inside is a mirror with their God-given SisSwati name and its meaning along with a Bible in their native language. When it is finished, they take the box home and remember they are God's beloved child. 

The medical clinic is close to completion; there is about a week left of work and then the electric company needs to come and hook up the power for electric and water to work.

Praise Reports

Baby's surgery was a success. I was able to

see her and she is up and playing and smiling.

Philile is looking healthy and because she has responded so well to the new medication. She will not need to start taking the stronger stuff, which is good because the stronger ARV's have many more side effects. Praise the Lord!
