God uses people:

God uses ordinary people, such as Gideon. Then the Lord turned to him (Gideon) and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” So, he said to Him, “O my Lord,” how can I save Israel? Indeed, my clan is the weakest in Manasseth, and I am the least in my father’s house.” And the Lord said to him, “Surely I will be with you, and you shall defeat the Midiannites as one man.” Judges 6:14-16 NKJV God did not see Gideon as he was, God saw him as who he could be. God wants to do extraordinary things through ordinary people. And we know in fact that God did exactly that through Gideon. The ministry has been blessed and God has done extraordinary things through ordinary people. Ordinary people that were and are willing to be used by God. As we reported in our last newsletter, or preschool (L’ll Lambs) was in dire need of a new roof. We are very happy to report that we have a new roof, thanks to our wonderful folks at Piney Grove Chapel Baptist Church. Also, as reported in our last newsletter because of a special donation by some folks at Mid-Way Baptist Church we purchased 33 bibles, on one occasion I gave two Swazi ladies a Bible each and what a blessing as both literally jumped for joy and praised God when they received the Bibles. Once again, someone from Mid-Way Baptist donated another $300.00 dollars to purchase bibles. We have just launched a new ministry partnership with Hospice at Home Swaziland and will be providing them with the BGR (hospice) buckets this week, we will also include Bibles to be given to the families that receive the buckets, thanks to the donor from Mid-Way. It is almost graduation time at the preschools, starting November 19-21 we will be conducting 3 graduations. So proud of our preschoolers for their accomplishments. We are praying for funding for a cover and stove to be built at Ngowane, one of the preschools we help partner with. Kids Bible Clubs are doing great. The oldest Kids club at Nsangweni are starting to understand the Bible most of these children have been attending since we started 4 years ago, They are full of questions and several have accepted Christ as their savior. Please pray for the newest Bible club. We have a long way to go to start explaining the Love of Christ. FYI; we will be in the states starting November 26, 2018 until March 1, 2019. This will be our first official furlough in 8 years and our first Christmas with Lincoln. If any of you would like for Diane and I to speak to your Church of Sunday School to share what God is doing through Second Mile Ministries (Swaziland) we would be honored to come and share. Please contact us via email or facebook. Love in Christ, Don & Diane Page
