Update on the Hoskins

Hello everybody!

I hope everyone is doing well and staying warm through all of the cold weather and snow that has affected so many of you. We are doing quite well.

We are so amazed at God’s provision of a home for us in Manzini. We were able to move into the apartment in the TransWorld Radio building on January 1st. It has proven to be a great location for people to be able to stop by and visit. We have been able to host new friends, and Deborah has even made muffins—everything is feeling more and more like home. We are getting to know the area by taking a walk in the mornings. I think in about another month everyone in town will recognize us as the crazy folks who walk in the morning and without seeming to have a destination in mind.

Todd is working on the logistics for the Bible Training School that is to have its first session May 10th through May 13th. Please pray for wisdom in figuring out how to make the school effective and self-sustaining.

We would also appreciate prayer as we decide on a church to attend here. There are five different Baptist churches in the Manzini area with which our team works, and Todd and I would like to be a part of one of them. We have been visiting the churches over the past several weeks. Please pray that God will give us wisdom and direction in knowing where to invest our time and energy.

We uploaded a video from the other half of our training time in West Africa. You can click on the following link to view it:

Thank you so much for your love and support! We couldn’t do our work without you!
