before we go

Hi everyone,
it's now 4 weeks until this motley crew leave for our adventure in Eswatini.
We are all very excited about the trip and final preparations are underway.
could we ask for prayers for
  • final preparations, that nothing is forgotten.
  • safe travelling on Sunday 20th October.
  • Easy collection of vehicles in South Africa and travel to Eswatini 21st October.
  • Easy passage through customs at the Eswatini boarder.
  • that we would all be kept safe and well during our trip
  • that we would be a benefit to the people we work with
  • that the Lord's name would be glorified in all we do.
We appreciate all the support we have had in all our fundraising etc.
special thanks to Matt Adams who made our logo which is the Challenge Ministries Swaziland logo inside Ballywillan tower, we think it looks great.

And So It Begins...

Hi, everyone! Just dropping in to keep you guys updated. Today had been long and busy however significantly less disastrous than yesterday, I'm pleased to say. We were dragged out of bed at the crack of dawn and gathered together for breakfast and our devotional. You'll be surprised to know that it was extremely wet, cold and misty outside; but you know what they say, 'everywhere you go, always take the weather with you'. It was still early when we left for the Women's Centre chapel. We were gladly welcomed by the ladies there and ushered in to join them in worship. Which was all well and good until we realised their worship is very, very different to our usual services. Being your cliche presbyterians when it come to singing and dancing during worship, we're all accustomed to shuffling into the back row and keeping our heads down while we sing our hymns (maybe tapping our foot to the rhythm if we're in a particularly good mood). This, however, was the ...

Hi again! So far today has been really good! Although any day in which one gets to sleep in is a good day. Albeit I only got to sleep in until about 8:15. Anyway, we began today by walking over to the Mens' Centre Chapel and- like in the Women's centre- we joined them in worship. They ended by blessing us before we left, and we didn't get to stay long too, as we had agreed to go back to the Women's Centre. When we got there we got to talk and mingle with all the girls again before getting them to teach us how to sing one of their songs. We did film us trying to sing and dance with them but I fear it to be too awkward looking to post. By the time we left it was time for our farewell lunch at Potter's Wheel. We met up with Pastor Julien and Kevin and Helen Ward and talked to them about our favourite and least favourite moments on the trip as well as something we'd learnt along the way. This led to the shedding of a couple of tears yet again. Honestly, we just...

It's Absolutely Boiling Here!

I'm back again to tell you all that we've all had a superb day! We were up at 6am this morning and ready to go for breakfast in the most gorgeous hotel called The Mountain Inn. We were welcomed by the owner, Marcus Ward, and were allowed to select from the tasty food in the buffet and then shown to the board room where we would get more privacy and avoid the rush of guests. It was also while we ate we went over to the window which had the most amazing view of the mountains and valley. You could just stare at it all day.   Also, during breakfast, we learned of a spiritual battle between the Devil and the Lord's good work in Eswatini. After hearing about this we felt compelled to pray. Honestly, standing there in the boardroom, looking out over the mountains and discussing how, as christians, we were fighting against the darkness...I felt pretty powerful in that moment. As if I was at Castle Cair Paravel in Narnia or one of the knights at the round table. We were giv...
