Support for Swaziland Night

Dear friends and family,

THANK YOU to all of you who have been so supportive these past few months. Through your financial gifts, items you sent to the children we visited, or words of encouragement and prayer, you blessed Alli and me as we traveled to Swaziland, Africa. Our trip was an amazing time of stretching, and our eyes were opened to how God is working in a lovely country, despite so many differences and hardships compared to our own world. It truly was a life-changing experience.

We would love to invite you to come hear about our trip, and what God is doing in Swaziland, plus some ways you can potentially be involved in the great ministry happening - here or there! We are going to have an evening devoted to stories, photos, video clips, and questions and answers next Sunday, August 26 at 6:00 pm, at The Church at Shelby Crossings. Childcare is provided and this is a casual event, with our taking turns sharing perspective stories and highlights from the time we spent there, and what we are still learning today, as a result of our trip.

Who should come?
We would love for you to come if:
- you have a heart for orphans
- an interest in missions
- a desire to help the ministry in Swaziland
- or if you just love us and want to hear how God used you in our lives as we went to Africa!

It is sure to be a night of laughs, maybe some tears, and hopefully, a time that will help demonstrate the light of Jesus despite dark times many in our world face every day.


We will also have more Timbali crafts like a number of you have purchased already, as well as other African art for sale, and all funds raised will go back to the ministry in Swaziland. There is a rumor we may even give a doorprize or two away! We would love to fellowship with you, and hug your neck for being a special part of our lives.

Please let us know if you have any questions. Hope to see you soon!  Alli and Jennifer
