As I write this, I have just arrived in the AfricaWorks office in Mbabane, Swaziland. God granted me safe travels and a successful journey. And it was an adventure.
The trip took about 40 hours, including one very long plane ride and a long night trying to sleep on the floor of the Johannesburg airport where I could see my breath. It also included some wonderful scenery and a lot of great new experiences. And it is just beginning.
I don't exactly have a place to stay yet, but we're working on that. Please continue to pray that we will find a good place without too much hassle. Some plans have fallen through, but Tinashe is very helpful. It may also be a slight challenge trying to access funds from here, but we're working on that too.
Thank you much for all the prayers. I'm sure some of you are getting sick of hearing about me and my adventure, so I greatly appreciate that you are keeping me supported in prayer. I could begin to list the myriad ways this trip could have gone wrong, but you have busy lives and God protected me from every single one of them, so I'll let you go instead.
God Bless!

Ben, you've been done for three days now. I am in no way "getting sick" of hearing about this adventure. Still praying. Always, Kaia
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you made it there safely. We will say praises for safe travels; prayers for safe housing and answers to accessing funds quickly.
ReplyDeleteHow long will you be there?
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about answered prayers. And I doubt that anyone is "getting sick of" hearing about your adventures. We'll keep praying that God will use you in a mighty way (and will keep checking your blog to see how!).
