Mbuso Shoba

We are extremely excited to have just been informed that one of the students of the Swaziland Leadership Academy (who just completed their first year of training) is returning to his home area of Mkhombokati and will be the discipleship leader at our carepoint!! His name is Mbuso Shoba and last year’s team had the privilege of getting to know him as he was at the carepoint during their entire visit.  This is such GREAT news for our kids and our carepoint. Mbuso will be a regular presence at Mkhombokati and thus will be our valued contact for all things happening there. He will be continuing his studies through the Academy so he will be doing double duty discipling our precious children at the carepoint and attending training. He is a promising future leader of Swaziland and we are so pleased to have him ministering to our kids!

I would like to share with you a wonderful excerpt about Mbuso from Scott Borg’s blog. Scott serves with AIM (Adventures in Missions) based at their home offices in Georgia but spends many months a year in Swaziland:

“In 2012 we started the Swaziland Leadership Academy. 11 young leaders led by Bheki and Zodwa - two trained and seasoned Swazi's. What an amazing and strategic opportunity to influence a generation. We're recruiting 12 more to participate this year.

One of these leaders is Mbuso Shoba. He's 19 years old and from the Mkhumbokati Care Point community in Swaziland. I was Facebook chatting with him toward the end of his 1st year of training, a portion of which is in South Africa. When I asked him if he was ready to return to Swaziland, here is what he said, "yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im ready for anything sir!!!!!!!!! i cant wait to apply what the lord will tell me to do and my spirit is pregnant with the word of God i wanna deliver it anytime i reach swaziland."

Wow. His energy made my day. Even now the realization of the impact of this investment in the lives of young people like Mbuso brings tears to my eyes. I love this picture of Mbuso with his arms spread - ready to fly!”

This is our awesome Mbuso who will be serving at our carepoint. How incredibly blessed we are and how incredibly good our God is!!! Let us welcome Mbuso back to the Mkhombokati carepoint with the same open arms he joyfully demonstrates!!
