Our last day in Badplaas


This is actually the blog from yesterday (thursday), but South Africa is not too internet-friendly , so we're a bit slow in uploading. We're heading out now to go look at the Milky Way (no big deal), but we promise to write again tonight about our amazing trip to Swaziland today!


We’re too exhausted for creativity tonight, but Heaven has a few more Impala and Blesboak tonight. Girls hunted. Killed animals. Blood was shed.


Today was our last clinic in Badplaas today, so we saw every possible patient we could. When we showed up at 8am, there was already a line out the door. There were a lot of tough situations, but God’s face shined with each smile as people accepted Christ. It was amazing!

Pastors Josh Surratt and Jason Metcalf concluded their two day pastor’s workshop, where pastors were encouraged in their ministry. We were able to empathize with the struggles of our calling, pray with each other, and bless the South African pastors with encouragement for their ministry.


We’ve encountered some intense spiritual warfare each day in the clinic. There are many cults in the area that pose as churches, claiming to be Christians while worshiping other gods and people. We’ve had the opportunity to lead several members of these churches into the real truth of the Gospel and teach them about the one true God. Members of these cults wear bracelets to identify themselves as a part of that “church”. Today, we were able to literally “break those chains” as we cut off their bracelets after being led to the real Truth.

    Everyone of you, even the most experienced, have overloaded shoulders, minds, and most of all emotional hearts. I pray that you can keep pace in Swaziland. Encourage each other to rest. Please, rest yourselves. Do not let your guard down. Our friends and our Church community are praying for your safety, spiritual armor, and your compassion. Reread the 23rd psalm, verses 1 & 2. See all of you soon, In Christ's Love, Mason's Dad

  6. "Well done, good and faithful servants..." You should all be very proud, yet you must be feeling incredibly humbled and exhausted. Rest well on your trip home, all....I am sure it will be a time to decompress as well. Jessica, we are counting the hours to hear your voice again! Anxiously waiting for caller ID to show "Jessica's cell" as an incoming call! We are waiting for you with open arms.....all our love to you! Mom, Dad, and Alex
