Merry Christmas and Happy New Year !!!

Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, Jesus Christ the Lord. Luke 2:v11. What a year we have had, world pandemic, civil unrest the election mess and so much more. But in it all and through it all God has been faithful. Diane and I on the advice of our Embassy in Eswatini (Swaziland) returned to the states in late March. With so many questions all we could do in trust God, and as always, He began to lead us in how we could best continue the ministry in Africa. Although the Swazi government completely shut the country down the children and Swazi people had needs, one that impacted them most at the time was lack of food. Eswatini depends almost entirely on imports of goods, food being the primary import. With the closing of South Africa and the Swazi boarders nothing was coming into the country. With God’s lead and the help of other ministries there we were able to continue the feeding ministry. And of course, with our dedicated Swazi volunteers the children did not miss a meal, To God be the glory! (see pictures below) We have been in contact with our primary Swazi volunteer (Make Dlamini) during this time doing the best we could from afar. All in all, things are going well We are praying that in the New Year we will be able to return to full ministry, opening back up our preschools, hospice care partnership, the disabled ministry as well as the hospital ministry. Even though covid 19 is spiking in many areas Eswatini is also seeing a spike however we feel strongly it is time for Diane and I to return home and to the ministry God has given us. Of course, we will take all necessary precautions but most of all trusting God to cover us. Things remain fluid however our plans is to return to Eswatini January 16, 2021. Even though this has been a challenging year you our donors have remained so very faithful in your giving, it is beyond words to express how grateful we are. We know that you will, but we ask that you continue to pray for us and the ministry as we enter into another season and year. God Bless you all. Love in Christ, Donald and Diane
