Kids from two of our care points, Bhekilanga and Thulwane, attended discipleship camp this weekend.
  We had seventy-six kids; each had excellent attendance at our weekly bible club.
  The kids just finished a series of lessons on "God is… I am…," which taught about the Character of God and our Identity in Him.
 

We transported the kids from the rural area to our team house in the city.
  They sang praise songs all the way into town, only stopping to chant, "Overtake driver," when we passed other cars on the highway.
 Once they arrived the boys jumped into their beds laughing, while the girls took turns waving at each other from the balcony.
 

We ate great traditional food all weekend.
  Inyama Khakulu!
  (Too much meat!)
  The kids played field games and watched movies outside projected onto the house each night.
  There was a choir and drama competition between the two care points.
  Awards such as best male and female performance were given.
  Bhekilanga was awarded first prize for their reenactment of the prodigal son.
  It was very impressive each child memorized their parts in English.

We had a guest speaker who shared her story of how she was orphaned at a young age.
  It was powerful for the kids to hear from an adult who had overcome her circumstances with the help of Jesus.
  We also had a teaching on "Believing and Being"; believing that God is who the bible says he is and being who the Bible says we are.
  The kids drew pictures of things that keep them from believing and being and then tore them up and danced on them!
 

They sang this song as they danced on their burdens:
  "Higher higher lift Jesus high!
  Lower lower stamp satan low!"
  Each child waved their hands wildly and stamped their feet like elephants.
  We later found that their worship could be heard over three blocks away.
  It was one of the sweetest times of ministry I have ever experienced in Swazi.
  It is the cry of my heart that this generation claims their freedom and rises up to follow HIM!
  Praise God for the ministry that happened this weekend
