Swazi babyyyyy!

We made it! We got to Manzini, Swaziland last night right on time. For our first night we went to eat, met some of the Children’s cup team and then went back to the hotel and crashed! We started today with some Cooking for Christ - Swazi style. We cooked for about 200 people and distributed meals to surrounding businesses. After the food outreach, we went to a park that has 3 highschools nearby and all of the students pass by when they let out of school - I’m talkin’ A LOT of kids. Jordan, one of the Children’s Cup missionaries, set up a sound system and played some dance music and we passed out candy and flyers for the FIRST official service for HPC_Swaziland on Sunday! These kids can DANCE! It went great. We are currently at Ben and Susan Rodgers house where we are about to throw down some awesome dinner and hang out for a bit.

Everything is going great. We even saw some monkeys today at the place we are staying - it is beautiful scenery. Keep prayin for us and I can't wait to see everyone when I get back!

T-rice

Its official. Trice is gone for the summer. If you don't know him, Trice is the coolest guy around and he's a genius-whiz kid when it comes to stage lighting. He'll be on tour for the summer and won't be back till August. He's sure gonna be missed around here.

hahahahahahahaha.

ARC

Comin' at ya from Birmingham, AL at Church of the Highlands. They are hosting the annual ARC Conference this year. Looking forward to hearing from Brian Houston and the other great speakers. All of the ARC church interns got here a day early to hang out and do a little pre-conference stuff, so it should be pretty cool. Just had some slammin' dinner and we're about to start the first session. Check back...

Prayer

I've had a few email updates from Heather and everything has sounded like it's been great, but I got an email yesterday that she has been sick in bed with a high fever for a full day now. So definitely be lifting her up in prayer, because it's a spiritual battle. I've been sick in a 3rd world country (103 degree fever!) and it's pretty miserable.

Update from India

I got an email from a friend of mine, Heather Alise, who is currently on her very first mission trip to India. She said -

"Today was our first real day in the city...WOW...an email wouldnt even do any justice to what i saw and experienced today. I really do know now for a fact that this HAS to be the worst place in the WORLD! ...my heart is wrecked..Never have i seen what my eyes saw today. Kids EVERYWHERE...no parents..all sick and begging for money...this one little boy was selling necklaces in the market and wanted 100 rubies for one..which is like 30 bucks in america...well i couldnt help it and was just pulling out money and wanted to give like 200 rubies to this little boy...when i looked up i had all these Indian kids smiling and holding out there hands...i was kinda stuck!!! Thank goodness our guide "Sweety" pulled me away..'Heatha you cannot give your money's away like that!!!!'...guess im still learning..."

Not only is she oversees, for the first time, but she is with Luke Walters and Rusty Domingue! Talk about gettin' rowdy for Jesus over in India!
