Swaziland Newsletter | September 2010

Morgan recently returned to Swaziland with Adventures In Missions. Since serving there on a regular basis, Morgan has encountered many of the harsh realities that come with living in a nation ravaged by HIV/AIDS,

“One thing that’s set this trip apart from others is that I have been coming here long enough to see the holes people who have passed away from HIV/AIDS have left. During my last two trips I spent time visiting with and talking to Dudu and now she has died. Last year we all fell in love with Maswane’s courage as she faced dying of AIDS at 19 years old because she was raped as a young girl. It’s odd to drive by her hut and know that she is no longer there, but it’s good to know that she is out of pain and with Jesus.”

But that doesn’t mean there isn’t hope in this resilient nation. It’s like Morgan says, “Bit by bit we sense more of God’s plan for Nsoko and understand a small part of His redemption in this community.”

Timbali Crafts | AIM Staff

The women of Timbali Crafts serve at 14 different Carepoints in Swaziland, feeding approximately 2,600 children a day. These women live incredible lives. Many of the women have been widowed or abandoned, yet pour out all that they have every day to orphans.

Timbali Crafts enables these saints to meet their day-to-day needs. Through every item that is sold through Timbali, these women receive a profit. It covers the cost of their family’s basic needs, such as school fees, food, medical care, and housing. In the meantime, they’re able to continue serving thousands of orphans at various Carepoints.

You can host a Timbali Craft Sale in your community to help these women, or you can go online and see what’s in their online store.

Timbali Special:

For a limited time in the month of November, Timbali Crafts will be selling their reusable shopping bags for $10.00, plus $3.00 for shipping. These would make perfect Christmas gifts!
