Jodi and I left Swaziland
227 days ago with a burning desire to return there and somehow make a
difference.  The wait is finally
over and we are leaving Tuesday, September 9^th for South Africa, and
we'll join our friends Jumbo and Kriek in Swaziland this Sunday.

Jodi kept reminding me
that God is a God of the 11^th hour. So much has come together in the
last 3 weeks. We are blessed and our hearts are filled with joy and
appreciation for each and every one of you who share in this Great
Adventure. 

Of course, with every
journey comes goodbyes, and those are never easy. Please pray for Jodi's
mother, father, brother, sister-in-law and her nephew and niece as they bid her
farewell for a while.

Our next blog, God
willing, will be from the heart of Swaziland.  Stay tuned...

Marius and Jodi.
