I don’t have words to explain the celebration of the girls completing the Bible Study. I was blessed by seeing what God has been doing in the last few weeks in these girls lives. I was humbled that God had called me to work with Him…I just don’t have words, I was so blown away and God reminded me of the verse in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work will bring it to completion” and I got to see the fruit of the labor on Friday and…i was speechless. Here’s a few pictures but honestly they don’t begin to do it justice.
I woke up Friday morning and it was raining at my house. I just kept praying that it wasn’t raining where the party was (1 1/2 hour drive from my house). As we got closer to the place the sun was poking through the clouds and this is a picture of that in a field next to the school.
The precious girls- The fruit!
This is Swaziland, of course there was dancing 🙂
Pastor Jethro, a local pastor in the area, came and encouraged the girls in their decision for abstinence.
Okay, this had to be a highlight. I borrowed one of the girls school uniforms and then came out and surprised them…i wish i would have had their laughter recorded, they were roaring with laughter. They were all pointing and staring at my white legs. I went and shook the Vice Principal’s hand and she said laughing “you have made my day, you have made my day”
The leaders of the 4 different small groups gave completion certificates to their group members. Those who completed all of their homework also got Bibles. It was so cute when I spoke after they received their Bibles i mentioned a verse casually and they all opened their Bibles and oh, that sound of the turning pages makes my heart beat faster 🙂 These girls are so precious.
We presented a gift to Make Zwane (Mah-gay Zwa-nay), the Vice Principal in the school, who is an amazing woman of God who has put the groups of girls together for me and is a key in the girls lives. She is such a dear friend of mine. When we were thanking her, she started crying, it was precious.
Okay, I had to put this in here. We had some glitter on the tables to decorate and the girls put it all over their faces, it was hilarious, but you can tell they had a good time, haha.
Praise the Lord, I know i was glorifying to Him and He made His presence known by the joy and the girls speaking the truth that they had learned. Praise God!
