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.

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!

The Shaw's: July 2009

Thursday, July 30, 2009. Home is more than a house. It's times like now that bring this inot focus. Many of you may have read about the home that the Orlando team built last month. If not, go to www.tenthousand.blogspot.com The home was built for a single mom with 2 children. Often, the neice is there as well when her mother is not doing well with her illness. How do we ensure that their needs are met so the boy doesn't have to quit school and get a job to support his sister? John, Carla and Rae Shaw.
