A Clinic that was started by one of our Swazi Nazarene Churches (not RFM) several years ago. This is a larger clinic than most of the ones that are a part of RFM.
This is what we see over and over and over again. Every where we go there is a building standing partially completed. Many times they build the walls and run out of money so it may stand that way for years. There is no planning ahead and counting the cost before the building starts. The attitude seems to be 'We want or need this building so let's start' then when the money runs out they hope someone comes along to finish it. Pray that we can instill a desire to know the cost and have the money before beginning the project. So much is wasted on build materials.
These unfinished buildings are seen in Manzini, along the highways, in the country and out in the bush. Anywhere and everywhere.

thanks for your sweet ministry to the swazi people . . . and to us! your blog is moving. "incomplete buildings" reminds me of what we witnessed while we were there and the work which needs to be done; but also it made me think about how we too are "incomplete buildings" and how important it is that we count the cost. i peter 2:5 "you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." i can't even imagine all the ways you are building through Christ. we remember you in our prayers.
grace and peace, kathy
