Oasis @ Swaziland Campuses

So for all of you back @ home; Oasis is ROCKING it in Swaziland. Both the Fonteyn and Mangwaneni Care Points are doing great and growing. I know Sandra has been blogging about the new class room being finished up over at Mangwaneni, it is going to be an awesome addition to that community.

Last week I was helping to host an american team and was able to lead them on a community walk in Fonteyn. It is so humbling to walk around this place and see how they live. I live in the same town and go around all the time; but it never becomes easier to receive. We actually visited Boy Boy’s house… ( Jill’s Buddy) and we got to see his place and meet his gogo that takes care of him. I think that the american team clearly understood why the OC has stepped in to this troubled community and were very impressed by the way it is ran. 

I have been spending alot of time with a young man from the community named Sandila. He is one of the youth from the Fonteyn care point and is about 14. He is pretty close to us at the single guy house and walks over to hang with us alot. He goes to church with us on sundays and is now playing with the church soccer team. He is having a pretty tuff time at home as are so many of the fonteyn and Mangwaneni young people. He lives with his mom, though she is very little around; and her moms boyfriend. I think he may be abused in the middle of this situation but we are working on learning more. Sandila receives most of his food through the feeding program at fonteyn so we are very thankful for all of you at the OC. 

I just want to leave you with this… What you all are doing through your giving is beyond incredible. All of us as the Oasis Church are literly REACHING in to a hurting city, REFRESHING the people with food and truth and RESTORING a community with life and life more abundant.
