Swaziland - March 2009 - "Our first day here we met Du-du. She is dying of AIDS and literally wasting away. She is skin and bones now and in her final days. She is leaving behind a 7 month old baby and a 7 year old little girl... When we went into her bedroom to pray for her the Spirit of fear was overwhelming. She is scared of death, she is scared of what will happen to her babies, she is filled with fear completely. The next day my teammates Sara and Natalie went with her and Pastor Gift to the hospital. They held her hand for hours and tried to ease the fears that were consuming her. Death is coming and she cannot stop it, she can only change the way she will receive it. I pray Du-du finds peace before she passes." - photo by Amy McAllister

Swaziland - March 2009 - "Her name is Zotwa. She is 18 years old. She lives alone in hut. All of her family is dead. She feels alone in this world. The only way she can provide for herself is to prostitute herself, so she does. She puts on her nicest dress she has and walks to the military barracks down the road to find some work for the night. She has a little hunchback because she is literally so weighed down in life it is now taking a toll on her body. I look into her eyes and see a searching spirit, searching for something that will save her and bring her peace. Zotwa is searching and the only thing that will rescue her is the Lord... We are praying Zotwa finds freedom..." - photo by Amy McAllister
Malawi - February 2009 - (received March '09) - "Nkhota Kota has it's very own rasta population. They are the local souvenir salesmen with a variety of merchandise... earrings, bracelets, key chains, chairs, paintings, etc. Most say they are a little to eager, some say they even hound, I like to simply say they are persistent. Whichever way you put it be warned that once you've met them you won't be left alone until you leave town. Maybe it's because of our similar hairstyles, but I actually enjoyed spending time with them." - photo from Shanda Dodd
