4th of July - Swazi Style!

Volleyball, anyone?

For the Americans who live in Swaziland, the 4th of July was a time to come together and enjoy many of the things we would do if we had been in the US. While some played sand volleyball or jumped in the sack race the grills were fired up and the smell of burgers and dogs filled the air. Under the red, white and blue tent was a chili cook-off, popcorn, and cotton candy. A few fireworks colored the night sky to round out the day and a great time was had by all.

Live in Love Follow-Up

In October 2007, Live in Love visited Swaziland and had the joy of hand-delivering needed equipment for a special project. Daran Rehmeyer, one of the missionaries we have come to know, was starting a glass blowing shop out of his garage to teach teens and young adults this specialized art. As their skills are developed and refined, Daran plans to mentor them in marketing and selling their wares as well as teaching them how to manage their resources properly and empower them to continue to grow.

I recently had the opportunity to watch Daran in his shop and see the tools we delivered in action. The tools are rods that are put into an "oven. After they are heated, Daran dips them into liquid glass and, blowing gently through the other end of the tube, begins to create numerous pieces. Daran currently has an apprentice who is developing her skills in glass-etching and cutting. She has already sold her first pieces! As Daran continues this valuable and life-changing program, Live in Love will keep you updated. Thanks, Daran, for reaching out to the youth in Swaziland with your heart, creativity, and desire to help them. Thanks, Daran for choosing to Live in Love.

Love in Action

Love must not be a matter of words or talk;

It must be genuine and show itself in action.
