New Year, New Tasks
Sometimes there are million words to describe what God is
doing and how He is working and other times I am in awe of Him, yet I can’t put
my thoughts and feelings into words. For some of you, you are probably thinking
that I am never out of words, but it does happen on rare occasion 🙂
As the New Year is beginning I am coming into my final 6
months here in Swaziland,
it’s been a tough time but also rewarding. Just the other day I was speaking
with the head teacher at the school I work in and she wants me to add an
additional 2 classes for me to teach Bible stories and lessons. I was shocked
and very excited at the same time. I knew she was happy with my work overall,
but many times I asked for special permission to do stuff with the children
that might disrupt the regular school schedule, she always obliged but I wondered
if it was too much. It turns out she was happy to make these concessions for me
as long as the children were getting God’s Word. I am in a position to
influence an additional 45 students and I can’t begin to describe how thrilled
I am. But, I am also sad to know that I will only be with these children for
half of their school year, so while I have more kids to teach it will only be
for half the time I was able to give to the previous students. Please be in
prayer as I begin this new year of teaching that the children’s hearts and
minds will be open to the wonderful love of Christ.
Chris, You have touched these children and I think a few adults as well. If the Lord is prospering you in your work you should be open to new opportunities and schedule changes (divine appointments). I miss you but would be supportive of any additional assignments God should require of you. You may be the only one available to minister to these children at such an impressionable time.
No effort will go unnoticed by Him. He loves you and so do I.
Thank you for the update and heads up for prayer focus.
Love, Dad
Dear Christine,
It is always a joy to receive your updates. Clearly you are making an impact on the lives of the children to whom God sent you. Your heart for these children is clear, and the Lord knows your heart. And he will bless you in your work, be it one day; or a lifetime.
Praying for you.

Chris, What a joy to hear that God is entrusting you with this new task. Your life is surely a blessing to Him, those whom you minister to, and all who love God and hear about it. Keep up the good work and finish well. I’m counting the weeks till you return home Love Mom
My love what a joy to hear and see what God is doing through your life to transform others. Especially the children. You have bought hope to their lives. Thank you for your obedience to God’s call on your life.
I look forward to hearing more when you return.
