AIM is partnering with a new organization called D42 to reach out to the poorest region of Swaziland.
  There are several care points being established there.
   I feel assured of the Lord's plan for redemption as I spend time with the kids in Nsoko.
  Their needs are being met and they are hearing and experiencing the love of Christ.
  

I am writing to ask for prayer for one of the children from Nsoko.
  Her name is Thandiwe she is six years old.
  Thandiwe had an infection on her foot that reached her bone.
  Surgery was necessary, but her family could not afford the fee of roughly seven USD, or even the bus far to get to the hospital.
 

A group participating in AIM's World Race was staying in Nsoko and made arrangements for Thandiwe to have the surgery.
  The appointment could only be made a week after the World Race team was leaving; that's where I came in.
  I agreed to transport Thandiwe and her mother to the hospital.
  The surgery went smoothly but the doctors decided to admit Thandiwe for five days, because the infection was worse than they had thought.
   Hospitals in Swaziland do not allow parents to stay with children over the age of three, so Thandiwe's mother was not permitted to stay.
 

Thandiwe's mother had to return home to care for her other children; leaving Thandiwe alone at the hospital for five days.
  I have a camp for the kids from Bhekilanga and Thulwane care points this weekend, and am unable to make the two hour drive to visit.
  Please pray for Thandiwe's recovery, pray that the Lord's presence would be close to her.
  She is on my heart on mind constantly.
 

I am always amazed at how these kids are brave even in the hardest of situations.
  I know that they are positioned to see the hand of God moving.
  When this generation comes into adulthood they will be the ones who are proclaiming the faithfulness and provision of the Lord despite their overwhelming circumstances.
  I am praying for that day to come in Swaziland, won't you join me?
