Recently, we took the Impact ME interns on a SURPRISE trip to Swaziland!!
At 5am on the morning we were leaving, we went to their house...
woke them up...gave them a packing list and 15 minutes to be packed and loaded...cause we are going to Swaziland!!
It was so awesome to see their ecstatically excited response
as they all flipped out!!!
We had an amazing trip arriving just before lunch on Thursday morning and leaving right after lunch on Sunday!
Each day was packed full of incredible ministry opportunities where the team got to preach, teach and minister in various ways. Each intern had a speaking opportunity in front of a large group of people!
They all brought a timely message and did an amazing job!
Some of our various ministry outreaches included...
spending time at a rural clinic praying with each patient before they left!
An awesome visit to a Teen Challenge men's home where Micah gave them an encouraging message!
Then a trip to a shelter for abused women and their children where Bobbi preached a powerful word!!
A preschool assembly!

We did a kids programs at a Family Home of orphaned children, where we even got to use the Swaziland flag in the lesson!!
Their youth group of mostly orphaned children met twice while we were there and we got to share with them both times!

| Katie also brought a powerful message at the other service! |
 |
| Jacob teaching the youth how to play knight, rider, princess!! They loved it!! |
Amazing home visits in a rural village!!!
A very special part of our trip was our visit to the local government hospital where we got to spend time with patients in the children's, men's and women's ward, encouraging them with the hope found in Jesus Christ, praying for each patient and just simply reminding them God has not forgotten them!!
The entire trip, start to finish and especially the element of surprise made this an incredible trip and such a highlight of the year!
On Saturday night we took the interns to a special movie at the ONLY movie theater in ALL of Swaziland!!
We wrapped up the trip with Bobbi and Katie both getting to share at the church service Sunday morning!!!
