There is so much going on each day, it’s hard to capture it in just 3 minutes of video. One of our goals as a family was to minister together as a family while we were in Swaziland. Each member of my family has found unique ways to connect with the Swazi people and children. <\/p>\n
I was invited to preach at a local Swazi church and you’ll see it is truly a "church without walls." These believers gather in the most modest of places to worship and pray together.<\/p>\n
There are a few more photos here<\/a> of the family out ministering together.
