"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.." - Matt. 28:19-20 [NIV].
It was a ministry packed one week of spreading practical love and sharing the message of Hope to the residents of Manzini in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Spiritual Mapping - Manzini City: Our focus was to engage prayerfully in spiritual mapping around the city. We identified where specific demonic influences are operating and posted men and women to claim those place for Jesus through spiritual warfare.
This spiritual exercise really made us appreciate God's love for the city of Manzini and the people who reside and work in it.

Correctional Facility - Matsapha: Our ministry assignment was to minister in correctional facilities and bring hope to those behind bars. And a team of 7 students ministered to the inmates at a correctional facility in Matspha, encouraging and sharing the love of Christ to some whose past has shattered their dreams in life. To see the message of the cross and God using the foolishness of preaching to save some is a miracle worth to testify about.
To have an opportunity to share the gospel of Christ to these loved individuals brings a sense of appreciation for life and realize how fragile life is and can be.
We shared with them also fruit parcels mostly important our smiles graced with the loving and unfailing grace of our Master Jesus Christ- Our Healer!
We shared gospel songs, word of wisdom and motivation for educational success to the learners. The response was overwhelming and took time to pray for the students for their future and God's continued protection against all evil vices that our young people engage in.
They are smart and have the ability to articulate issues of life affecting them on a daily basis as young people. And in the same token offer what they believe is the solutions to their challenges.
And we as advocates for truth laid the foundation in our fruitful conversations based on the personality and principles of Christ Jesus. Jesus is the ANSWER to the world today and the church been the channel for the expression of that answer. Memorable moments to remember as some of these kids graduate from high school to higher institutions of learning. Our prayer is the SEED of the Word has been sown and it will usually grow.
The community was receptive as we did home visits and pastoral counseling to those in need.
The needs in the community vary but one thing was certain JESUS was presented and well packaged to those on the walk sides, homes stores, and street traders.
Shared some candies/sweets with some kids that came by and sung Christian songs under the African beautiful sun, danced to some kids songs. FULFILLING!
Jesus loves the little one too :)
The presence of the Holy Spirit was tangible as God honored His people and their prayers for the community of Mpoli. The week ended with a celebration service on Sunday. Mc3 is thankful to EWBC and all for the ministerial support rendered during this busy week.
Prayer Requests:
- Continue to pray for the 5 high school students who gave their lives to Christ. For continued discipleship to these young people. We want to see converts becoming disciples who make disciples who make disciples...
- The 7 individuals who surrendered their lives during the tent revivals and made a commitment to be part of the church at Mpoli.
- Pray for the Mc3 pastoral team as they do follow-ups for continued discipleship in all the places we went during the work, evangelism and discipleship week.
- Pray for the seed of the Word sown in people's lives in every place we ministered in by grace.
