What a weekend 3!


- so after church we headed to the Swaziland national team world cup qualifier against Togo. We didn't get tickets, that didn't stop some people though, they pushed down a fence and ran in...even more amazing is that Swaziland won, they are now on top of their group for world cup qualification. We'll be at the Zambia game!

- Jordan and I headed out to Mbekelweni, future sports/camp/intern & CarePoint facility...it is beautiful! We also want to make some mountain bike trails, loads of potential!

Headed back to the house to relax. We had a cookie mix from the States! Check out our African Microwave we use to melt butter! (disclaimer, there are microwaves in Africa, it is just that we don't have one)

What a weekend 2!

Daniel Mahlalela



- Daniel with Allen Iverson at HPC Mozi

Daniel turned 24 years old this past week. He has a hunger for the things of God! Daniel is technology oriented. He finished a two year computer course and hopes to one day own a business so that he can do and invest in ministry.

Daniel comes from a pretty cool heritage. His father, Joaquim, has worked with Dave Ohlerking (the founder of Children's Cup) for over 20 years. Joaquim works in Mozambique and commutes back to Swaziland to meet with and take care of his family. The family moved to Swaziland back in the early 80's during the civil war in Mozambique.

Daniel has a voice and is quickly becoming an outstanding worship leader. God has good plans for him as he grows into a responsible young man.

Mountain Biking




Had an awesome experience this past Saturday. Jordan and I went out to Mlilwane Game Park for some mountain biking. I just brought Jordan's sweet bike from the United States and I was able to borrow a friend's bike.

What an amazing setting for mountain biking! Jordan an I were chugging up a hill only to see a herd of Wildabeast running across the trail. A bit later we came across a herd of Zebras who were content to just look at us as we passed by them. Finally Jordan and I spent over an hour climbing a mountain. Oxygen deprived we looked out in amazement at how far we came and how beautiful Swaziland is! Then the fun began, Jordan and I raced down the mountain on some single track. Narrowly missing rocks, stumps and trees we made it down the mountain in an exhilarating 10 minutes. One fall each and no real wounds between us I can safely say, we had an awesome day...then that night we were able to sing, play, dance and pray with the youth of Makholweni!
