Pepe

Pepe has been on Dave Ohlerking & Ben Rodgers heart for almost 3 years now. She is a tiny 9 year old girl that goes to the Ka Khoza Carepoint. Her life has spoken to all who have met her. Her lifes speaks of how we should life life to the fullest. Her frail body screams at all of us to not waste our time. She makes us strive to have purpose and reach out in love to make eternal impact.

Her body is starting to fail under the stress of disease. She has lost weight and can't keep food down. Please would you pray with us for Pepe. Pray that God would heal her, pray that she would bring Glory to his name, pray that she would be a testimony of his love. We have done all that we can do for this girl, we have confessed to God that we need him. In Jeremiah it says, "Return to me and I will restore you" We have done our part, now we are believing God to do his part, to restore Pepe. Join us as we cry out for God to move on the behalf of this girl that has taught us all so much. Pray with us in faith...faith that God is able, faith in the miraculous! Most of all pray that God would be with Pepe, that he would be real to her, that she would recieve all his love for her.

Hi Patrick,
Thank you for allowing us to serve along side you for a week. It is a privledge to serve such a big God! We really enjoyed the work we did there but more importantly we love the people. We will be praying for Pepe, this may be God's way of bringing her to himself. A testimony for others of the life changing power of God, the power to give hope and a future with Him. Many blessings to you and your work in Swaziland, Kelly

We will do just that. And thank you for your inspiration and steadfastness to these people. Back in the western world it is difficult to meet people who care as you do. The issues are not in our face so they are out of sight and out of mind. Your journey keeps speaking powerfully for me.

That is a great photo of Pepe.
