It’s a wonderful month in the Christianity calendar. We celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I thank all those who support us and the AR leadership for giving us the opportunity to go to Kruger National Park to recuperate and relax. It was a great time just to be off the ministry and have a vacation. We really enjoyed it. We had our Passover meal as a team together and prayed together… it was just amazing.

We thank God for more ministry opportunities. I was invited to preach at a certain church in Mbabane, the capital city of Swaziland. I enjoyed the time and the message which God gave me. It was entitled “Be a journey Finisher”. As it was the Feast of Passover, I relate it more to the journey which Jesus Himself walked, that He suffered rejection, persecution, sorrow and pain but He didn’t give up on what He was purposed for. I want to encourage you that how many things you started in your life and you didn’t finish them because you suffered discouragement and rejection here is Christ example that finish regardless of what you go through. Paul he even quote the scripture were he said I have finished the course or race.
I had a time of Solitude were I was seeking the Lord through Prayer and Fasting. I just want to share with you some of the things which the Lord put on my heart. God put our motto in Africa Revolution that Love your Neighbor that what did Jesus said about that. I learned from Leviticus 19 the Lord spoke to Moses about it and in Luke 10 he spoke about it. Do we love our neighbors like we love ourselves?
The kids here are on school holiday so it’s a wonderful opportunity of spending more time with them and playing with them. There is much of soccer as we play with other churches as part of fellowship it’s so amazing and interesting. They are getting to know more about HIV and AIDS teachings as we are mentoring them and speaking in to their lives.
We had a great 1 day Youth camp in Bulembu this was amazing time to see young people gathering together not being ashamed to share the gospel. This is the ministry which we are believing and hoping that it will grow to an extent that we will reach the entire Kingdom of Swaziland.
God bless

I say praise be to God for using us in every area of the ministry which He entrusted us with. It was a great time of ministry in this month. We went to South Africa to attend a 1 day Youth camp for a certain Christian College and we had 120 youths. We went there with Max Lucado’s equation which is MI=HP+CC+CP meaning M-Maximum,I-Impact=H-High,P-Potency+C-Clear,C-Communication,C-Close,P-Proximity. It was a great opportunity of speaking in to the lives of these young people. I also used the testimony of how the Lord saved me from the Hi-jacking incident. It really impacted them and made them to see how great is our God.

We ministered through worship and games and about 15 Youth gave their lives to Christ. Most of them recommitted their vows with God and we saw the restoration of young people to the heart of worship. It was a worthy 3 days of investing in to these lives and you can see the change of their lives compared to the way they came.
The discipleship been a wonderful time of sharpening each other as we know that iron sharpens iron. The spiritual maturity of every team member is my greatest joy of my life. I had a lot of meetings to prepare the 1 day Youth Camp which is to come in the following month of April. This is the ministry we are hoping is going to change the young people of Swaziland by equipping them to be Warriors of Christ Jesus.

I went to the Women’s Prison called Mawela Wela south of Swaziland to minister with the team. I ministered about “The journey between the dream and its fulfillment” and about 10 inmates gave their lives to Christ. Let me also encourage you about this message The journey between the dream and its fulfillment that we look at Joseph how much he suffered to get to his fulfillment it was not an easy journey but he didn’t give up. You can have a dream in your life no matter how hard life can be to you its just part of your dream don’t give up. In a journey there are road blocks, breakdowns etc but they mustn’t ruin your dream or journey. Paul he said I keep on pressing towards the mark for my price in Christ Jesus Phillipians Ch 3v14. Challenges and trials must not make you give up but hold on God will take you through.

God bless
Shalom

Its been an amazing month of running around and serving in different places. I thank the Lord that March was a month where I was praying for healing in my life spiritually. I felt the Lord just release me and bringing peace in my heart. As you know about the January incident of hi-jacking it was still something which I was praying to God to free me from it.
It has been a wonderful time to reunite with brethren again in doing the hospital ministry. I have 1 testimony to give of one young boy aged 4 years who could not breath properly and when you touch him he just cry even his mum couldn’t touch him. We prayed for him it was on Tuesday and the follow up team visited the children’s ward they found the boy in a much better condition than what he was before so Praise be unto God.


The Lord been ministering to me about the qualities of his servants how he wants them to from the books of, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy and Titus that we are required to be at our best because we represent him. It’s been the time or month or spiritual growth and more maturity.


More ministry opportunities are coming up as we are now ministering at Elusitweni. This is a girls center were they help with abuse ladies who have been either sexually or physically abused. The ministry at the boys rehabilitation center is doing very well building more relationships with the new bunch of boys who have just been recruited by speaking in to their lives.


The Community Ministry is going well and we planted a garden at 1 of the old lady’s house. I believe that this year we will be also focusing at this specific home to build relationship with her. We also encourage you to pray for this old lady that God may protect her and provide in her life.


We have started a ministry of soccer training with the orphans at the farm and this will help us to spend more time with the kids and have fun.
Blessed be Lord as we continue building the body of Christ.

Having fun playing soccer with kids on the farm

I became part of this lovely family in January when I started my internship, it was something which I was not anticipating. It’s a House which had 7 boys 3 older boys and 4 young boys but now its only 4 young boys left the older boys moved out because they now need their own privacy. It has 2 house parents or Aunties.

It’s a house which I visit every Monday, the boys in my house they have different situations. There is Yusof he is a great guy he was involved in an accident near the farm along the road. A truck bumped him with the other guy from my house and both of them broke their arms but now their both fine. Saneliso he is the other guy who was also bumped by the truck but now he is fine, he grew up without a mother because she died when he was little so his dad got remarried so the step mum was abusing him physically, making him to work in the fields without food from 4am till late, without going to school. God saved him from that situation and brought him here to be part of this big and lovely family. He is a very smart young man and he love the Lord with a gift of preaching. Njabulo was also part of my house a young man from a tough life and abuse physically without anyone taking care of him and he was not going to school until he came here and be part of the good and lovely family.

The young boys: There is Celimusa who is the younger brother to Njabulo a very smart young man who came at an early age into this family so he didn’t face much of the abuse in his life. Bongie he is very humble, passionate about the things of God he was abandoned by his parents and they don’t even visit him. His mum is alive but he doesn’t know her very much because she doesn’t care about him. Lindo he is a nephew to the house mum Thandie she brought him along when she was employed in to the ministry because her mum said she cannot take care of him. As a routine here in Africa Grandmas are the ones to take care of the grandkids if the parents can’t do it.

Bandile, is one of God’s miracles. He is a handicapped boy when he arrived here last year he couldn’t walk or talk and his hands were very weak that they couldn’t do anything. He is 13yrs now but if you see his stature you can think that he is 9yrs because of his healthy issues. What a lovely boy now he can walk, play with others, learning how to write and read, feed himself, and doing almost everything which other normal kids do. He is a living miracle.

Mandla  is also the living miracle with a sad story but I see God in his life and through him. He was born handicapped and his parents dumped or abandoned him. He was living with the dogs eating with the dogs couldn’t walk neither talk. He was found by the UNICEF organization and they put him on a wheelchair and they took him to Social Warfare then he was brought here. When he came here the doctors were saying he will never walk but with prayer all things are possible now he is walking. When he got here last year, he was weighing 10kgs but now he is weighing  31kgs. With God all things are possible I have seen it on Mandla.

Thandie- A lady in her late 50s, what a wonderful mum she is with a servant heart of serving these young boys and mentoring them. The love her calling of serving especially working with Mandla changing him the dippers everyday its not easy but she is a woman of God who is doing it not as unto man but unto God.

Am blessed to be part of these boy’s lives and I love them so much as my young brothers. My house called Khukholwa house meaning A House of Salvation.

God bless

It was a month of our second transition of the leaders leaving us, it was time for Jon and Jude to go. It wasn’t easy after we been with them for 3months and some weeks. They spoken to our lives and they helped us to open our eyes to see some of the things which were in our lives. They were not scared to tell us the truth and even to rebuke us on our wrong doing, they were as parents to us.

This month started while I was on my journey coming back from Zambia it was a wonderful trip and my first time to use a plane or fly. It was a time which I was really waiting for to have Allan and Annie joining us in Swaziland. The way we were doing discipleship change that Allan was now really challenging us to think about our Neighbors’ meaning  the poor and the community around us. I remember one day we had a discipleship, when Nathan and Rebecca visited us, it was one of the most challenging discussions I ever had in my Christian life. It made me to think about my country and the poor in my country it just made my heart to be overwhelmed by sorrow and thinking a lot about how God can use me to help my own people. It took me almost two good weeks to recover from those consuming thoughts about my family and the brothers and sisters who are in my country.

Our van this month gave us so much trouble this month. It was one breakdown after the other. We got stuck in South Africa for 2 days when we went there for a visit and we were in the middle of nowhere.  We are praying that God will provide a new van for his work and for his people.

My compassion for the poor and the sick changed in my life and the way I view the community and people, because of the book which we were studying entitled Compassion, Justice and the Christian Life. There are certain things which God expects us to do, by so doing, we represent him. Francis of Assisi used a quote that says “Preach the gospel, if neccesary, use words. I realise that not every time we have to open the bible to preach, but we are written epistles.

It was a very busy month as we were having a lot of stuff to do like never before. We studied about Bitterness it was not easy but it was good for our lives because some of the things which we were battling with we didn’t know where were they from until we had this study.

I went to Bulembu north of Swaziland its an old abandoned mine which has turned to be an Orphaned now to minister to the Junior Youth. It was awesome I preached about the Fruits of the spirit and we acted a skit(drama) which I saw these kids responding to the power of God. When I called for an Altar call I saw almost all the kids coming to be prayed for. It was a humbling moment to me just seeing these little ones responding to the Power of the most High Yahweah.

We had a Youth Camp which took us a whole week to prepare for it and try to gather all the needed resources. It was very difficult for me because I had to run around collecting the stuff and transport it to the venue but I had no transport. Thank God for James and Aaron the stood with me and worked together so hard waking up early in the morning around 2am to collect bread for the camp from the suppliers. It was a Camp with a difference lives were changed, minds renewed and restored. People were not ready to end this wonderful Camp they were feeling like it must keep on going on and on. We have experienced Gods presence in a mighty way. It was a month where we read a book which I enjoy a lot entitled FRESH WIND FRESH FIRE, I love this book where I have seen the power of prayer that everything is birthed in the closet.

The Lord spoke to me that we must be the Journey Finisher after I drove one of the former stuff members here who is starting Teen Challenge in Zambia, we went through a lot of break down but by Gods grace we made it from Swaziland, South Africa, Botswana and Zambia.

Blessed be the Lord in the month of July. Romans 8:18-19

 The month of July has been a very busy month having meetings preparing for youth camp to come in the month of August. The discipleship are one of the best times to me in this month as we were learning about Enemies of the Soul. It was interesting moments because it revealed some hidden things within ourselves and we prayed over them.

We are having deeper relationships with the Emafini boys Rehabilitation Centre as we go there every Tuesday and preach. The hospital ministry we are continuing to see the power of God, lives being healed and souls won to Christ.

We had a prison visit and I preached to the prisoners while Katie and Amy played a couple of songs. Almost all the prisoners there gave their lives to Christ and we had to pray over them by the laying of hands. It was a humbling moment when I saw these brothers opening their hearts to Christ.

 We had a soccer tournament at the farm where we invited the non-believers as a part of evangelism. It was great and we enjoyed fellowship with them. 

The Luke Commission we are enjoying working with them as we go into the communities to serve people through health treatment. We met a young boy by the name of Philani, an abandoned young man. His dad left to Mozambique a few years ago and his mum left to South Africa. No one is taking care of him and he is just 13 years old. As I was talking to him, you could see the zeal to serve God and he said he wanted to be a Pastor when he grows up. He makes sure that all the doors are locked at his school before he goes home so he is like a caretaker.

 Myself and James went to Piggs Peak to preach to the youth at the CLC church. It was great and they want us to visit them again. 

We had an Awareness Dinner at Potter’s Wheel Church where different businessmen were invited as a way of thanking them for their support and at the same time ministering to them.

 Let the name of the Lord be praised.  Isaiah 40:29-31

Be Thou Exalted Yahweh.

It was a wonderful month and it started on a high note of being very busy from the 1^st day of the month. We went to Luke Commission, the ministry which I am enjoying every day, because of the people which we are meeting in every mobile clinic in the rural areas of Swaziland. Little who have a deep passion for Christ and they love God so much regardless of their present challenges, you can see  by the way they sing and dance for their God.

We are enjoying every Tuesday of the week because we go to the boys rehabilitation centre and minister to their lives and lead by example. We are having deep talks with them working together and encouraging them a lot. The street evangelism is doing well, same to the hospital ministry were we are seeing the power of God everyday. We visited Bulembu as a team and we ministered to their Youth it was awesome and everyone enjoyed. What a fun day we had, we had hundreds of people turn up and we had 5 teams each and every member was leading his or her own team what an unforgettable day. Our youth meetings every Saturday they are very fruitful we had a Talent Show and Talk Show it was great. I met a Zambian Pastor and we became good friends we went and ministered at his church through drama and sharing of the word. Above all let God be glorified as he had led by example.

The month of May it was a most difficult month because the Mitchell’s were preparing to go back to America and it was a hard thing as a team to accept it. Everything which we were trying to do we were not enjoying thinking that our family its going to be trimmed as Jason and family goes but we just committed everything in the hands of God. The Hospital ministry is going well and we are really enjoying it so much and the Lord is using us mightily.

We visited South Africa on the 15^th of May as we were taking Jason and family to the Airport to fly back to America. It was a wonderful time in South Africa because we had a lot of ministry time in the township of Mamelodi. We visited Gogo Masindi and Gogo Makubo and we spend some time with them at their houses. They shared some stories with us from the deepest parts of their hearts and we manage to pray with them. We had a bit of community outreach were it was a time of meeting people and praying with them, we managed to build some new relationships.

We played a drama with the Youth at Powerhouse and their group called THE CALL it was the time were everyone enjoyed. We saw the power of God moving. We shared the word of God and pray for them and they didn’t wanted us to leave them because we had a lot of fun together. On our last day as we were preparing to traveled back to Swaziland, we were in our van (kombi) with 1 of my good brother from Zimbabwe called Joel, he started to sing a song called MY SOUL SAY YES as I was driving I felt the presence of the Lord and we kept on singing. We got at the Mall were the girls wanted to withdraw the money from the bank and we couldn’t stop singing and people started to gather around us joining us in singing. What a time and a memorable event we were not even ashamed of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We had a trip to Lavumisa south of Swaziland where Potter’s Wheel is opening another new orphanage and they are building a new church there which is almost done. For now they are feeding quite a number of kids and the construction of homes are underway and they are expecting to have a lot of orphans. We visited also the nearby community were we found 2 care points and both points are feeding more than 50 kids. We have build relationships with them and from now on we will be working with them and helping them with whatever we can. We revisited the Gogo were we planted the gardens and now we were just checking up on here to see how was she doing.

“I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from?  My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.” -Psalm 121:1-2

“When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.”

Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”  -Luke 5: 4-5

In April we went to serve to Luke Commission Compassionate Ministry working in the community around Swaziland. This month it was very busy because we were going twice per week, irregardless of too much traveling long distance to get where we were supposed to serve.

It was a month full of counseling people who are HIV positive giving them hope, telling them how to take care of themselves.

It’s a school holiday here all the kids (orphans) here are at the farm are ready for the extra lessons or home school with us. It was 2 weeks of home schooling for the kids but I just attended 1 week because 1 was busy fixing the ministry car our Kombi and Jason’s Suzuki.

What a wonderful last day of the 2 weeks were we have games and team building with the kids, its 1 of the days which the kids always talk about. I went for a picnic with my Adopted House of 8 days and 2 house mums, it was a lovely day of an outing together with my Swedish friend Julia. We went out since morning and come back later the day and every kid was just having a smile on his face and our hearts were filled with joy too by seeing them happy.

I had a best Passover (Easter) of my life because it was a real Jewish way celebrating the death and resurrection of Jesus.

It was a good time of vacation in Mozambique especially being away from the farm because everyone was just tired and we had a good time of resting. We had a nice time of prayer and solitude praying together as a team and we came back revived.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty.
