Earlier in one of my blogs I hinted about the possibility of a fundraising trip, it is safe to say yes it is happening this coming July 27 until the 7th of September. I am really amazed and humbled by God’s provision as the ticket from here and back has been purchased and some of the states side tickets as well have been purchased. I am excited to share to new/old partners and making new relationships for music ministry, I have been working on my vocal cords so that I can bless my friends as much as time allows.
It will be exciting for me to share about the curriculum, as a ministry one of our core tool to reach out is discipleship so having a content that has been designed intentionally with the understanding of a Swati child and Christian background which will be easy for them to relate. This curriculum will develop our music disciples an understanding of themselves and others, also this curriculum wants to promote the spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development of individuals, groups and communities. This inspiration comes from the vision of the music ministry which says ” We confidently desire to serve God, share His love and encourage to live in harmony in our communities”.
Another exciting thing to share on this trip which we shared on our 2019 trip presentation for those who were fortunate to hear was the goal of having our very music ministry academy, we have been fortunate enough to have our friends in the states who worked on very thorough design based on what we envisioned the academy to look like. As a leader I believe there is so much that God wants to accomplish though this ministry, already we can see the fruits such that this academy some of most of its classes will be oversee by university graduates products of the music ministry under the supervision of the music ministry leader. This is very huge thing for us as it will be the first of its own kind, as I once mention that my country have lots of talented children musically but with no resources to pursue their God given talent. The academy will have a piano room, guitar room, reading music room, other instruments room, counselling room, small chapel, recording studio and two offices.
During my time in the states I will be visiting the following places, Texas, North Carolina, Colorado Denver, Colorado Springs, Alabama, Georgia, Utah, Illinois and Mississippi. I am really gratefully to my dear friends for everything they have done already to ensure that the trip is a success and that I get to share to groups of friends and some to their churches honestly I am over the moon with gratitude.
This side I have been working with the Music ministry disciples using all the time we can get to disciple each other and do one on one. I have also been training some MMD girls on a Christian purity program whereby they will graduate and do some allegiance group since they are high school graduates we will take the program to nearby care points as the rise for teen pregnancy is really devastating well due to many reasons for sure. With trying to follow all necessary precautions on Covid 19 we are on stall on other activities of music ministries, just last weekend the prime minister reduced the number of meetings actually we are on lockdown after a two months break of a better ease and large number of meetings.
Family wise we are now doing much better after some few trying weeks, the young girl had been sick lately, different allergies which tried treatments over the counter but did not get well and week ago it got worse and midnight we took her to hospital the doctor checked her, draw blood but then said she had to be nebulized as she was showing signs of Asthma, we got discharged and got some medicine with us and the doctor did confirm that my baby girl indeed had Asthma and cautioned us on what not to keep her in a health condition. This happened three weeks after I had been admitted for two days in hospital. We are all doing much better, I’m back on road to and from the care points almost every day and the princess is back at school as well.
Please forgive me for the long update there is so much I wanted to share with you all friends. Also I had pictures I wanted to share with you all but unfortunately I am failing to upload them from the folder I saved them from, please forgive me I will keep learning. I am grateful to all that has supported thus far and I continue to plead that you help me reach my monthly target any amount will make a difference, God bless you all.
Prayer Request.
