One Saturday we loaded up the only vehicle that holds our entire team (we have to reserve this bus and our friendly driver, Elliot) and drove out to a carepoint on the other side of Swaziland. Each year the kids that go to the carepoints regularly get a new pair of shoes that have been donated by Samaritans Feet or another shoe company called Yield that makes crock-like shoes. Our team was very excited to take part in this ministry and we were a blessing to the Swazi staff that distribute these shoes to many carepoints all over Swaziland.

We arrived at the church building and met the pastor and his wife, the ones that run this carepoint then began setting up for the distribution. We began with a mini church service then had about 10 chairs, each with a plastic tub with water in front, waiting for a child to have his or her feet washed. Our team joyfully accepted this ministry opportunity and began serving each and every child that came their way. I saw Jesus in that church building that day. After washing the feet of the kids, we prayed over each one and gave them a new pair of shoes. We had to make a few trips to the shoe piles to find a size that would fit, but it was enjoyable.
