We Are The Harringtons

Our second week in Swaziland but our first week in a new community, Mpofu. Our duty that week was to run a revival service for a church. It was an awesome experience being able to run a whole service, doing the preaching, dramas and songs. And seeing the revivals of many adults and the youth. Having that fire burn for God again and going back to that first love they had for God. But to start the week off the preacher, of the church we would be with, gave us the job to do some home visits in his community. Yeah let's go!! It was Monday morning and we all piled into this small bukkie, a truck. A team of 10, there was 8 sitting in the bed of the truck, don't worry its "safe" in Africa, someone in the passenger seat and me the driver. The night before, our leaders went with the pastor to his church to introduce themselves. As we turned onto a dirt road that morning Mzwandile, one of the leaders, couldn't remember where the church was. It was dark when they went ...

It was so awkward for me, not really understanding the point of quiet time. Read a couple verses or a chapter in the Bible. Okay, what did I get out of that read? Do I pray now?

Such a handsome group isn't it? Yup. That's the family. In that group you have close to half of the world! You've got Merica in there, Brasil, Finland, Germany, South Africa, oh and even Australia. Well alright not half of the world but enough countries and cultures to make all the sense to have this group be punching and yelling at each other within just a week. Am I right?             Very Happy to say though, that didn't happen! Through the 5 months of YWAM DTS God had put unity in our family , He had put love in our family , He had put understanding, respect, transparency, and the list could go on and on. Not going to lie though the first couple weeks in September were rough getting through the language barriers, personalities, etc. but God had special plans for this group of world changers.              It didn't start out being called a family. God had to real...
