Counting Down to Return to SD

Teresa, Danielle, Nathanael, and Joelle are back in southern Africa after some excitement at the airport in Washington. Nathanael was dropped from the flight from Dulles to Johannesburg for some reason. Teresa managed after much cajoling (and I’m sure tears) to convince them she wasn’t going to leave her 16 year old at the airport to figure it out.

I (Daran) will be in the States through February 20. I am still looking for opportunities to share the vision for a clinic to serve the HIV population in Swaziland with any groups, small or large, church, home or civic. I would be grateful for any meeting that can be organized for us. I’m committed to traveling to where ever meetings can be organized.

Scheduled travel so far: January 23 - January 27 – Baton Rouge, LA
January 28 – January 29 – Shelby, NC
February 1 - February 4 – San Antonio, TX
February 17 – 20 – San Antonio, TX
February 21 - SWAZILAND!!!

My number while in the US is (978) 558-3251.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped set up the meetings we’ve already had. They have been a blessing to us and hopefully a blessing to those who were there.

We have a vision for developing a holistic medical clinic in the Maphiveni area to proactively cater to the HIV+ population there. In addition, to help address the long term poverty issues there, we want to begin developing a community centre that will help empower the most vulnerable to provide for themselves and give them control of their lives in a Christ centred environment.

God is good! He demonstrates His faithfulness to us in both big and small ways.
Blessings!
