I’ve found out lately that I can often live oblivious to the battle going on around me and in me. People often live under oppression or under attacks and do not even realize it. Today I prayed a simple prayer. I prayed that the spirit of apathy, depression and heaviness to leave in the name of Jesus…yeah, it even sounded a bit weird coming out of my mouth. The crazy truth of it is that after I prayed that I feel a joy that I’ve not experienced in weeks. God tells us that we are in a warzone…yet I often live in such ignorance. To be truly free, to be live as we are intended to live. Do we assume that our depression, our anxiety, our anger, our lust, our discouragement, our fear is normal? Do we live wrapped up in unnecessary chains, de we often live under attack and think everything is normal. No more, no more, no more.

Bayside
Sarah and I had the privilege of hosting a team of nine people from Bayside Community Church. The team was comprised of a group from Bayside's Children's Ministry. We had a blast. The team spent the majority of their time at Ngwane Park CarePoint. They blessed our teachers, cooks and children. Bayside left behind an anticipation and expectation of what God is and will continue to do at Ngwane Park. I know God worked in their hearts and a piece of them was left behind. It was fun hanging out and it was a blessing to see God work through y'all!
