The Shaw's: New friends, new country
http://shawsmissions.blogspot.com/2010/08/new-friends-new-country.html
Thursday, August 12, 2010. New friends, new country. This past week I had the opportunity to go to Swaziland for the first time. A friend of mine, Kacy, had to renew her visa and since Swazi is only about 90 minutes away, we decided to go across the border for the night. I had heard how beautiful the country is and wanted to experience it myself. John, Carla and Rae Shaw. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Friends Blogs I like to follow. John, Carla and Rae Shaw.

Friday, January 22, 2010. Did I mentionin my last blog that there are 29 people on the YWAM Orlando team? They wouldbe tripping all over theirselves trying to build the one home, so we had them start digging the footin for the care center in Kabokweni. The past 2 weeks, part of the Orlando team have been digging the footing. Let me tell ya, it's some hard, back-breaking work! Some spots are nice and sandy, while others are solid rock! More updated pictures to come! John, Carla and Rae Shaw. Here's a few ...

Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Smiles make my day. Isn't it amazing how much a smile can make your day change from good to awesome? Yesterday I was in Kabokweni with the New Hope team. We had a good afternoon preparing for the feeding, spending time with the volunteers and waiting for the kids to arrive. It was a long, hot afternoon and the kids had barely gotten there when we had to leave. Well, we couldn't just drive on by! A smile.what a difference it can make in your day. John, Carla and Rae Shaw. As a f...

The Shaw's: Things are just a little different in South Africa
http://shawsmissions.blogspot.com/2010/08/things-are-just-little-different-in.html
Monday, August 2, 2010. Things are just a little different in South Africa. Instead of graduation, they have Matric. Instead of Senior prom, they have Matric dance. And there sure aren't a lot of dresses to choose from! We really went with the 80's Madonna look. And it came out great, don't you think? The after party was at the Botanical Gardens. John was the good dad and picked her up at 3am. Because here, you can't drive until you are 18.which is great when your daughter goes out to a dance!

The Shaw's: June 2010
http://shawsmissions.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 6, 2010. Things you don't want to hear your husband say when he's in another country. 1 "They are taking us to jail now". 2 "My phone is almost dead". It's really not good when #2 immediately follows #1! I'm in Xiaxia and they are taking us to jail NOW" "For what? Paperwork stuff. Mark is on his way but the guy won't wait. My phone is going dead, so you probably can't get a hold of me. Gotta go." "Turn off your phone and I'll call back in an hour.". Not a fun conversation!

Tuesday, December 29, 2009. We had the pleasure of hosting a youth camp with Pastor Sthembiso on our campus the week before Christmas. There were over 80 teens/young adults here. It was amazing! John, Rae and I all had the opportunity to speak. It was an awesome experience. There is nothing like God using you in a way that brings change and transformation to others! John, Carla and Rae Shaw. Saturday, December 26, 2009. John, Carla and Rae Shaw. So, for the first time EVER, we weren't with family and fri...

The Shaw's: February 2010
http://shawsmissions.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. And as I write this, we get a text from Pastor Sthembiso that one of the girls in his community just passed away. A generation is being lost here. Kids and young people who could make a difference in this world. People, individuals. Not nameless, faceless statistics. And it just makes me sick. Steven was able to take his daughter to a specialist in Nelspruit and word is that she is recovering and doing well. Thank you Jesus and thank each of you for the prayers! Wylie, TX, Un...

The Shaw's: May 2010

Wednesday, May 26, 2010. Crazy Love, crazy day. I've been reading this book,. Crazy Love by Francis Chan. I love to read at night, but I just can't read this one at bedtime. So, after my quiet time in the mornings, I pick it up and read a little. I usually can't even get though a whole chapter. I have to read a section and put it down. It just makes me search. True love is loving a person after he has hurt you". Ok God, got it. John, Carla and Rae Shaw. Tuesday, May 18, 2010. John, Carla and Rae Shaw.

Saturday, July 31, 2010. We were able to use the money donated to buy her a nice queen bed with everything needed. Sheets, pillows, comforter and lots of blankets! It was fun being able to shop for her and bless her like that. But the funnest part was trying to deliver it. She lives up the side of the mountain. You can only drive up so far, and then you have to hike up this path. The day we were going to deliver it, of course there were no men around! Five women, 2 toddlers and a baby.what a sight!
