Dear Friends and Family,
Greetings in the name of Jesus! So much has been happening lately so we just wanted to give you a few quick updates.
Noxolo
1.) First you will find attached a picture of beautiful little Noxolo. In the last few months this little one has gone from hopping around on one leg because of a birth defect, to walking around like a normal little girl. Praise the Lord!
Shelly Brennan
2.) Next is a picture of Shelly and some of her YWAM team that went to India. They did ministry at the Mother Theresa home for the sick and dying in Calcutta, India. She said it was a very challenging ministry and the Lord really stretched her. Praise the Lord they were able to bring life to those that are so close to death through the gospel of Jesus Christ!
I Am Not Forgotten – Orphan Home
3.) Finally, the “I Am Not Forgotten” home is up and running. We are so thankful for Khulile who the Lord has raised up to be a mother to these children that are in desperate situations. The first two little girls are Tengetile age 9 and Lwethu age 10. Tengetile is one of 9 children. Her mother has passed away from AIDS and her father abandoned the children just before the mother died. Tengetile was being sexually abused by her older brother. Lwethu’s story is similar. Her father is dead. Her mother sells fruit at the open air market and leaves early and comes back home late. While mom is gone men in the area come to their house and sexually abuse Lwethu. Both of these beautiful little girls are now safe at I Am Not Forgotten orphan home.
We are praising the Lord for who he is! Our God is a faithful wonder working God! He alone is the One who heals the lame, he gives hope to the hopeless, and he protects the orphans!
We want thank you for your continued prayers and support. The lives of so many people are being changed. May the Lord Bless you!
Love,
Randy and Karen Brennan

Hi, When I did a google search for African Missions, your website came up. I’ve read the content on your page and the stories of the lives you’ve changed and I would love to learn more. I too love Jesus and want to serve him and share him with a hurting world. My heart has longed to serve the Lord in the mission field, especially in Africa where so many children and women are abused. I believe that through the power of God, we can make a difference. If you need help with the orphanage or sharing the gospel in Swaziland, I would like to help. I plan to come to Africa within the next year after my son goes off to college. I have an English degree and a communications degree and perhaps could help by teaching at the orphanage. Just let me know what you think. Thanks and look forward to hearing from you, Tina
