May Update from Hoskins

Happy Memorial Day!
This month we started what will become a regular teaching one Saturday each month at Big Bend Baptist Church.  Todd will be teaching the youth and Deborah will be teaching the ladies.  Please pray that God will give us wisdom as we begin to develop relationships in the area and help teach.

We participated in a church work day for Mphembekati Baptist Church.  We helped clear the church’s new land that was full of guava trees.  We had a lot of fun working hard with our friends and being able to admire the progress that was made.

Kym Pennington, the True Love Waits International consultant for Swaziland and Malawi, was able to stay with us for a few days this month and do a short version of the True Love Waits training in a couple of the local high schools.  We really enjoyed being able to hear and participate in her presentation.  Please pray that the locals who are trained in True Love Waits will have the opportunity to go back to the schools and give the complete presentation.

This Wednesday, the six college summer missionaries will be arriving in Swaziland.  We are looking forward to their arrival and the blessing that they will be to our team and the Swazi people during their time here.  Todd and I were able to join a volunteer team for only about a half an hour on Saturday while they were doing home visits in Lesibovu.  It is such an encouragement to have volunteers come to spur on the work that has been started here.  They are truly an inspiration to us.  Please continue to pray for all of our extra help these next months.

Thank you for your support.
