Hey all!
First off I would like to thank everyone who has responded to us in
our call to be ambassadors of Christ’s Truth and Freedom in Salesian
High School with your prayers and support.
Friends and family as well as people we didn’t even know before have
been lifting this mission up and we are so thankful for that.
kingdoms there is an intensifying effect of opposition and it requires
us to be ever closer to the Lords wisdom, strength and guiding Holy
Spirit.
Without this covering we are unable to be effective in unity, session
planning, awareness of the enemy, hearing the Lords direction and
encouragement and of course our communicating by illumination of the Holy spirit the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in the classroom’s and hearts of these boys to which called has instructed us to minister.
Otherwise its another abstinence program with NO power. With no change. All words, no freedom.
The answers are not simply in instruction, not simply in education, not
simply in scary statistics about sex because we all know that in the
grips of culture and lust these things can and often do easily fade
into the background by the oppression of the enemy, the world and the
screaming desires of flesh whenever Gods Spirit is absent.
As for what has been happening so far, we are now entering our third
week of teaching and will be completing prep on our next lesson this
Sunday.
“Siren session.” A sounding the alarm if you will. Swazi is in danger.
Here’s how advanced it is.
Lets ask WHY? Lets overcome. The choice is not ours but yours.
It was a very serious class, though we did have some laughs and some very rewarding Opportunity’s to fellowship with the boys.
The second class mainly included tying in the previous week and
personalizing the statistics, truth and dangers through factual
illustrations involving real statistics within the country regarding
HIV, STD’s and teen pregnancy. (Statistics that have, by many
indications worsened since last officially collected) They included
colored cards which each student received randomly which would indicate
the sexual status of that student, assuming an active sexual life.
I assure you this assumption is no stretch. Starting age of sexual activity in this country can be astounding.
Gender roles.
Lust.
Wide acceptance of promiscuity.
Shame.

This post made me weep for the young people of Swazi, and I know this is repeated in varying degrees, all over Africa, and throughout the world. How hopeless without Jesus to change their lives! Thank you that you aren’t just teaching another abstinence program, but offering true hope. I will continue to pray for your team to be annointed for teaching by the Holy Spirit. What an awesome responsibility and opportunity you have. I am praying for the boys you are teaching. God bless you all!
Hey Davie,

way thur. March 11…Can you email me if you get this

Thanks for serving the King of Kings!!!

I’m excited. Excited how God’s using you. Excited for the boys and young men of Swaziland. It has to start with the boys and young men. This is an impossible task before you. Prepare to let God blow your mind as you work for the impossible. With God, everything’s possible – you know that or you wouldn’t be there.
