We have a few more days left to book you for the first Nsoko, G42
vision trip… please read and please pray earnestly about joining us!

Nsoko vision trip
We are very excited to announce our first vision trip for Nsoko, Swaziland. Since
we arrived in Swaziland a year ago we have been focusing on this rural
area which is consumed with great need, as well as some of the most
amazing people you will ever meet. One day Gary
was showing some of the World Racers an area an hour and a half from
our home. They stumbled upon a group of starving children; we have come
to refer to as “children of the Dirt“.

They had not eaten in weeks, and the Go-Go that
was trying to care for them was beside herself with grief. Knowing God
would hear her prayers she told us she never stopped praying that He
would send someone to help the children.

The precious children in this area all have a story. Some
are double orphan, meaning both parents have died.

Some children as
young as five are the oldest living member of their household and struggle
to care for their siblings.The poverty is
overwhelming, the amount of small children fending for themselves is
heart-wrenching, and the rate of HIV/AIDS affecting every age group of
this country is mind-blowing. However there is hope.

God has highlighted this country in the hearts of many people around the world. We
realize not all people are called to move to a third world country, but
we are all commanded in scripture to care for the orphan and the widow.

The mission of a “Vision Trip” is to take Americans with a heart for the dying and forgotten men, women and children of Swaziland, and connect the people, heart, and resources of the two countries.

It is a controlled environment to expose you to the devastation as well as the beauty and the hope of Africa. Swaziland
is considered to be the “pulpit” of Africa, meaning that the prophesy
and healing will flow from Swaziland into the rest of the continent.
Swaziland is a “one Tribe nation”, so tribal warfare is not an issue
here, which makes it a safer place to visit than most of the rest of
Africa. As the “church” and business leaders of America link hands with
the Church and business leaders of Africa miracles begin to happen for
everyone.

Please
pray about joining us for 7 days and nights of reality and hope.
Through the beauty of the land and its people you will be changed.
Through the experiences and relationships you could help change a
nation. We will start our days with prayer and then go to minister
where the Lord leads us. We will hold and pray
for the children, teach them and sing with them. We will minister
healing to the GoGos, and encourage them in their daily lives. We
will be working on building projects in the homes in the neighborhood.

You will see the community center that has just been built and opened,
as well as our first G42 church plant. You will walk the property
where the first children’s village will soon come to life.

We will
enjoy a genuine African worship, and meet the people of Nsoko.

You will
hear their stories and realize that they are no different than you.
They have dreams, they love their children, and life has cost them more
than they could pay.

Dates for the vision trip are June 18th thru the 25th, 2008

Trip
includes all your lodging, food, transportation, and a safari; we will
take care of all the details, so all you have to do is focus on are the
vision and the ministry.

We are looking for people to partner their churches, business, and families to our projects here, in Swaziland. People can join us as families, or representatives of a church body, bible study or a business.

For more information or questions about pricing, email Lisa Black at [email protected].

Looking forward to seeing you in Swaziland.

One response to “Nsoko Vision Trip: Join us in Africa”

  1. Gary,

    This amazing outreach program that is explained above really sounds, well, truly amazing. It resonates with me because less than a year ago, I was fortunate enough to travel to Madagascar to participate in a mission trip as a Chiropractic student. We left the states with high hopes and left Madagascar wishing we could stay longer to give even more. We were blessed to encounter the great people there and be a part of removing their subluxations in order to help them express life more fully. I attended a service at a church on my last day there (in Antanananrivo), which was a breathtaking experience – the worship was so genuine and everyone bared their souls in Jesus’ name. I have just stumbled across this page and have missed the trip, but Swaziland and your endeavors there are in my thoughts. I feel fortunate to have visited this page and I am in awe of the work you have done in Swaziland.
    Thanks,
    God Bless
