God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all.
  This has been my verse that I cling to in the midst of what "appears" a dark place.
  I asked my team the other night to describe how God has revealed Himself to them thus far.
  I immediately thought, "God is light" and I realized my perspective on life in Africa has changed.
  I think when I came before I noticed darkness and I let that discourage me at times.
  Now I am coming knowing that God is light and darkness must flee where His light is present.

I will give you an example:
  we had a time of asking the Lord where He wanted us to minister and confirmation came to go to Manzini.
  We piled in our van and prayerfully went to Manzini not knowing what God had in store.
  Our team was lead to the market place where we met a lady who was suffering from a toothache.
  She asked, "why are you here?"
  We told her that the Lord brought us there to pray and share God's love with the people.
  I can't really put into words what happened but in a matter of a few minutes there were over 30 people gathered around us to hear about Jesus.
  It is as if sitting in the midst of darkness when they saw His light they wanted to come.
  The Spirit of God fell in on that street corner and we began to sing, testify, and pray.
  People were getting healed in front of our eyes and I know it is because darkness must flee where the Light of Christ is.
  It is amazing to know that He is the light of the world and He dwells within us so wherever we go we are bringing His light.
  Glory Be to God!!!
