Off to Nsoko!
Hey Friends…
Ellie and I leave tomrrow for to be in Nsoko for the week. Getting the 40 women there started sewing for Timbali Crafts has gone kind of slow, but we’re planning on doing a four day “kick off” this week, in hopes that they’ll be able to have some products ready to sell before Christmas. We’ll be meeting Mon-Thurs to continue teaching the women to sew and to make the patch work table runners that were pictured in my last blog. I’m also praying (and hope you’ll start praying too!) for some good times of ministry and relationship building with these precious women, who work so hard to serve their community by cooking at the 8 care points/feeding centers in the Nsoko area.
Nsoko is about 2.5 hrs away, so Ellie and I will be camping at a near by game park for the week, along with AIM’s “Real Life” mission team that will also be in Nsoko this week. I LOVE camping, but haven’t done it with Ellie before, so who knows what kind of adventures we’ll have. 🙂 Please pray Ellie sleeps well and enjoys the week! Nsoko is in the hottest area of Swaziland, and I heard the temp was 40C/104F there last week–yikes. Pray for strength and energy–and maybe for a pleasant cool front to come through? 🙂
That’s all for now…just wanted to send out a request for some prayer!
THANKS for lifting us up!
Julie & Ellie
Good Morning, Julu and Ellie!!!
I will pray for a cool front. It is no fun sleeping in the heat. I hope you are doing well. All is good here. Love ya mucho!
Dear Julie,
You know, it’s starting to get cold here in old Iowa and I’m only gonna pray for a cool front for you if you’d be willing to pray for a mild winter for me. 🙂
Love you!
Karen
cheering you on!
Can’t wait to hear how it goes-thanks for the update. The Lord has found you faithful in so much Julie. Love ya-marcia
Praying for you today, woman! I’m excited about the “expansion” of Timbali Crafts and will be praying that the Lord blesses that, as well as your time in Nsoko with Ellie. Hey, what fun for you to be with a Real Life team – that makes me chuckle. Mainly because…well, you know! We both were once part of that!
Will continue to lift you up in prayer and asking the Lord for sweet cooling breezes to come your way!
Love ya, lady!
Sue
Aw, YAY! Nsoko! Give the team all hugs for me – and all those sweet ladies and kiddos at Nsoko- and Pastor Gift and Phelile, Oh I wish I were there!!!
Hope you and Elli have fun with Lucky the Lion, the ostriches and the crocodile 🙂 hehe – I miss that place! Love and prayers!
