Serving and Sweating in Swaziland
By on April 7, 2009
Our 24/7 interns are on an outreach trip to Bulembu, Swaziland where they are serving Bulembu Ministries. This ministry is working towards the revitalization of the town where they are located. Bulembu had been a bustling mining town of 10,000 people that was deserted in 2001 after the mines shut down. The renovation and rejuvenation of Bulembu started in 2006, and for the last ten days, our interns have been investing their hard work and sweat into the vision of seeing this community restored. In the heat of the Swaziland sun, our interns have already painted two homes that are used as orphanages, dug irrigation trenches for 12 homes, and worked on landscaping. Through their hard work, they are blessing another ministry and literally helping to rebuild a community.
