So as I write this I’m sat in the passenger seat of the now famous Volkswagen Combi (of two drives to Zambia fame) winding through some stunning scenery to the Swaziland border. Six of us, lead by my friend Levy, are on our way to a leadership training conference for Swazi pastors where we’ve been asked to speak and then train. I have the humbling, daunting and privileged opportunity to speak on God’s Heart for the poor. 25.9% of people aged between 15-49 are HIV Positive – The worlds highest rate.
Orphans and Vulnerable children make up an estimated 15% of the population.
On the whole the church in Swaziland is either just looking on at this or has closed its eyes.
This is an incredible opportunity. An opportunity that I’m hopelessly unqualified for. As a team we go humbly as broken, damaged servants just trusting that God uses people like us.
Please pray that God would speak gently or loudly to his Church in Swaziland so that they would step up and care for a country that’s dying.
Like I said I’m currently writing this on my phone but will write properly when we’re back on Friday.
