As
most of you know we have given our time, our finances, our support and
our lives to a little place called Nsoko, Swaziland…

We have planted a
church and built a Children's Village there. We educate, feed and
disciple over 300 orphans, 70 Make's (mothers) and 20 some go, go's
(grandma's) each day. But the reason we are doing this is because of
one women's obedience.

Lisa
Black would get up in the morning about 6:00 - go to the gym with me,
and then start her day. Breakfast for the tribe, bible study with the
little ones, her quiet time and prayer with me… then two or three days
a week, she would gather cloths that were sent or bought by your
donations, grab whomever she could and take the hour and a half drive
from our house to Nsoko.

Now
this is not a drive like going to the grocery store or your kids soccer
practice, (although I know those drives are horrific at times)!

No...
this drive is all about dodging cows, donkeys, chickens,
goats, monkeys and the thousands of kids walking to school on the side
of the hwy! After the detours and driving thru the sugar Cain fields
were fixed, it got a little better, but it is a drive you certainly do
not want to do after dark!

My
wife would bath, pray, play, cloth and teach these forgotten kids all
day. The heat didn't stop her, the men groping my daughters, saying
disgusting things and worse didn't stop her.

She got to disciple and
was disciple by grandma's that told her she was THE answer to 50 years
of prayer.

She
didn't care that know body new or that people would see pictures and
"support" our work. She didn't care when they didn't. She did it
because God told her to and that was enough.

Last
week she was on Swazi TV, sitting with princes, chiefs, and
governmental leaders.

I was stopped many times on the street as all of
Swazi watched her whole speech.

She told Africa to take responsibility
for their own; she challenged the men to step up and cover, protect and
be real men.

She held nothing back. Words like elegant, ravishing,
strong, a "savior" to Swaziland were used as people expressed what they
heard from my wife.

I
am married to a modern-day Proverbs 31 woman: sweeping up after
orphans, wiping baby's butts, raising six kids, ministering to her
husband, calling down heaven over a nation, but always, God and family
first.

Young ladies, take note!
