heads up/out of the office

okay y'all. The newhope team will be here soon and therefor I'll be hanging with them for the next week adn some. So I won't be blogging but I'm sure I'll have lots of pics and such when I return
But in the meantime, please pray for the spiritual climate of Swaziland. Elections are coming in August and Swaziland has it's own unique turmoil that comes with it. Whle most African countries have beatings, riots, police intimidation around election time (think Kenya and Zimbabwae)Swaziland has ritual murders.
Candidates who hope to be elected visit witchdoctors for advice on how to get an edge over their opponiant. It usually involves body parts.
For example, find a very smart student and eat his brain, and then you will be smart. Or take this part and mix it with this and get this result.
Well the murders have begun. Three nights ago 2 bodies were found in the river. One woman was missing a foot, and the other (the maid of my friend) had had her genital removed.
this is sick and twisted and leaves many people, myself included, feeling unsettled yet ambitious to pray even harder for the spiritual climate of Swaziland.
While many westerners would look at the general witchcraft practice as old time superstition and silliness, I can tell you it is very real, very powerful, It is 100% demonic. Most of all it holds the power of fear over most of this country.
However we proclaim that Our God is more powerful and protects. He is mighty to save and more powerful than all the powers of darkness.
please pray about this, but mostly focus on the power and goodness of our God.
The dark forces don't even deserve our attention.
