At first it wasn't a problem. Sure it was a little bit annoying, but no big deal... but that was a few months ago. Now I've had enough of the silence. Do you know how hard it is to talk to someone who doesn't respond?!                 There have been a few times where the Lord has spoken... but they tend to be things for other people. So although I know that the Lord can and will still speak, I guess I am kind of being selfish and I want Him to speak to me. I want to know more about Him, to know more about me, to know what He wants... and yet there is silence.                 I've done the check, have I done something I shouldn't have? Did I not do the last thing that He asked of m Mon, 25 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=video-about-the-nsoko-project http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=video-about-the-nsoko-project I put this together when I was in Swazi... it gives you a bit of info about the Nsoko Project & shows you the faces of the children who have stolen so many hearts.

This is the largest World Race training camp we have had! And to make it more fun, we have thrown in a lot of new twists and changed things up quite a bit. We also have an awesome team serving alongside us to help make sure things run smoothly... they are practically all World Race Alumni!           So far things have been going really well. Everyone is excited to be here and people have really opened up to receive the teachings that have been happening. Tomorrow (Monday morning) we leave for a retreat' basically we are going to be camping for two nights. It is a lot of fun and we really get to see a whole other side of the group, plus it is great for bonding. Right now the weather is supposed to be HOT. Although I can handle camping (a Sun, 3 Aug 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=DB9A691518E6497AB183A7349BB51E http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=DB9A691518E6497AB183A7349BB51E I just finished reading Beth Moore's book Breaking Free. Like many books there were parts that really stood out to me and others that I just sort of breezed over. I'd like to share a couple of things that really rang true in my heart... Isaiah 58:6 & 11     Is this not the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?... The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. What is God proposing we fast from? What do we have to give up or fast from to reach out to the oppressed?... What kind of fast did God require of me as He sent me to minister one-on-one to the oppressed? A fast from comfort. A fast from my pretty little world. A fast from rose-colored glasses.

I was satisfied with the way things were. Now in and of itself its not a bad thing but I wasnt truly Happy. I was floating in the middle somewhere. I thought that was all that there was     I may not be running around the world, holding orphans, cooking with widows, or praying with men to come into the kingdom of God but I am Happy! I am who I am, and I am not only happy with who I am but I Love who I am! I know that I will not stay in Georgia forever, but I am in no hurry to leave. Why? because for the first time in a long time I am happy on a daily basis I enjoy and love all of life. This is the way its supposed to be! So I hope that you never have to see me sitting in that place of contentment again, becau Fri, 27 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=little-bits http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=little-bits I don't have a full update ready... but wanted to let you know about some of the things that are going on. . .   Last week we had to bring a girl home from Mozambique, her father had passed away unexpectedly. Of course she was in a village with no cell reception, this caused for a 24 hour delay in us being able to reach her... however we were able to get her home an hour before the viewing! It caused for a lot of extra hours at the office and even at home, but we were able to get her home with no major problems. You can read her blog about her dad here.   We are getting ready to send another 33 World Racers out on June 29th! They will be heading down to Mexico for their last bit of training before spreading throughout Central America. This is an awesome group and it's been fun getting to know them. I've had the joy of getting all of their travel arrangements ready : )   There is also a girl who is going to be on the October World Race who has decided to come Thu, 19 Jun 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=praise-report http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=praise-report As you all know, one of my biggest prayer requests has been for financial support. But once again the Lord has been working in His own ways I am still way under my monthly goal - so I am not yet able to start receiving a paycheck and am still living off of savings. Yet the Lord is faithful Over a month ago I was able to move into the Barnes' basement. In return for helping do maintenance and help care for one of the daughters when the parents are overseas, Kim (my basement buddy) and I have a place to live while we continue to support raise! Although I have learned how to get around without having my own vehicle, it really isn't all that enjoyable (my independence and pride have had enough of the begging). One of the World Racers that I met last year is leading a trip to Swaziland for the summer and has offered to let me use her car while she is over seas! All I have to do is pay for gas! I know for some people these may seem like people just 'being nice'.

If only it were just those poor disillusioned' few. The reality is that the sex trafficking is right here in our own neighborhoods. Last night I attended an event to help get the word out about child sex trafficking in Atlanta. Yes the event was in Atlanta, but I am talking about children American children who are being forced into prostitution here in Atlanta. Drop Dead Gorgeous is a group of fashion designers, models, photographers, and others who have come together to help make people aware of the fact that there are people out there who are offering modeling contracts that are really contracts into prostitution. It was amazing to see so many people from Atlanta come to support such an awesome cause. I had no idea how strong the sex trafficking is here in Fri, 30 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=meet-grandma-joyce http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=meet-grandma-joyce I always considered Grandma Joyce as my glamorous grandma'. She always had her hair done and was wearing the nicest clothes. When I was little we would all go to her house for Christmas Eve. It was always exciting because Grandma would buy each of us grandkids a new set of pajamas for Christmas. These weren't the adult size t-shirts that mom and dad would have us wear one year we even all got silk pajamas! You can imagine what a treat it was. All of us kids would get our picture taken on the stairs in our Christmas clothes and then again in our pjs. I remember eating fancy' ice cream with Grandpa Don that Grandma Joyce would scoop into bowls for us to eat out on the patio.                             Awhile back my grandparents moved from southern California to Texas, so that Grandma could be closer to here sister and mom. We went out to visit as a famil Thu, 22 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=sex-passion-india http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=sex-passion-india I recently read Red Letters, by author Tom Davis. Now I wouldn't give all the credit to Tom's book... the reality is that it started way before then, but perhaps Red Letters was the push I needed to get me going. I hadn't even closed the book after reading the final pages when I just had to open up my computer; I had to get online I had this almost uncontrollable desire to do some research. It sounds strange, I know. But that's really what happened. You see when I was home in Washington I went to a class where they talked about leading a church mission trip, one of the things that was mentioned was that there aren't really any organizations working in Delhi, India. There are hundreds perhaps thousands of women and children who are forced into the sex trade in Delhi alone, yet there are few to no groups who's goal is to see them set free. This statement never got out of my head. We are hoping to send some of our World Race teams to India.

We did a variety of different things throughout the week. The first half was all about everyone getting closer to the Lord and the last couple of days were more about them getting closer to each other. There were speakers, counselors, team building activities, camping, and lots of plain old fun. I could give you all the details, but I decided I would let the Racers speak for themselves. The following are excerpts from their blogs, click on their name for the full blog. "I have to say it is Tuesday April 8th and we have been here for almost four full days and I have not yet encountered God, however, something greater has taken place, GOD HAS ENCOUNTERED ME As I share this moment with my wife we are rejoicing because of the freedom that has been whispered into our marriage More has been done for my marriage in the past 3 days than almost the 4 years we have been married."

He's only 18 and still Monty the monster with the Buddha belly in our eyes. Being the early bird that I am, I got to spend the day at the Atlanta airport. Now for most people this sounds pretty boring, especially after a redeye flight. But it wasn't so bad the June World Racers were all coming in, so I got to be the point person for them to meet which is always fun. One of the coolest things though was that there are a ton of troops coming through Atlanta at the moment. The airport people have the troops all line up and make them walk the long way through the airport it's at this point that half of the people in the airport stop what they are doing and applaud until the last soldier has walked by. Not only did this simple gesture make me proud to be an American, but it also brought a tear to my eye I only hope that my little cousin was paid as much respect and honor as he left to serve this Sun, 6 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=gods-will http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=gods-will For most of my Christian' life there has been the question of; What is God's will for my life?', Is this God's will?'. . . Right after high school I joined YWAMPursuitsNZ, was that God's will? - Absolutely! In 2006 I packed up my backpack and did The World Race for eleven months. Was that God's will'? - No question! Then I decided to move to Swaziland (a country I had never been to before to work with people I really had only heard about). Was I in God's will? - Of Course. Something that I have been learning and am only now really starting to fully understand is that God's will' isn't about where I am or even what I am doing. God's will' is about who I am. YWAMPursuitsNZ was part of God's will for me because of who I became while I was there. My religion' became mine, I grew up in my faith and transitioned from being a youth to an adult. The same goes for The World Race and living in Swaziland I continued to grow and change, becoming a better person and having a Wed, 26 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=which-reality http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=which-reality Surprisingly I've been home for two months now! I can't believe it! I hear children saying how they need' a new cell phone or ipod (and they are still in elementary school!). I walk to the full fridge and pantry yet can't seem to find anything to eat oh how things have changed over the last couple of months! There is a part of me that would like to say that I no longer hear the harsh realities coming through my head, but I can't. My memories are enough to haunt my American thoughts, yet I also have the blogs of the World Racers and the people I worked with to continue to keep me from forgetting. . . It's not so much the pictures that bring me back' to Swaziland, but the stories that no-one should ever have to tell. . . one of the blogs that a World Racer, Brady, wrote has been reposted by many friends - she revealed the fact that although these children might not be starving, part of their childhood has been taken away because they are responsible for all the children who are you Thu, 21 Feb 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=stickers-say-a-lot http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=stickers-say-a-lot I found these stickers a few years ago... they sort of explain how I feel sometimes... eww... enough said! sometimes he doesn't have to do anything... but he does point out all your flaws! every wonder why there are so many distractions? and just when you think you are flying high... smack! now these are only stickers... it doesn't show the end... we win!!! for all the knock downs, distractions, set backs, and laughs that the enemy gives us will be nothing compared to what awaits him!

Cunningham is one of the founders of modern missions as well as a great author (is that really you god?, making Jesus Lord, daring to live on the edge, & why not women?). For those of you who don't know, I was with YWAM for three years in New Zealand. While with YWAM I had the privilege to hear many great speakers, but Loren was never in the country when I was, making this a great treat. Loren Cunningham shared a lot of things that are happening within YWAM & at YWAM Kona, Hawaii. There are great things happening for the kingdom of God around the world through YWAM! Due to the many different places that things are happening, I can't share many of them for the safety of the people involved. But I would like to share some of quotes and thoughts from the evening      2/3 of Christians are Not from the Western wor Tue, 8 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=being-home-doesnt-mean-its-time-to-stop-serving http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=being-home-doesnt-mean-its-time-to-stop-serving Most people who come home for the holidays have every moment scheduled with family and friends dinners, parties, coffee, Bible studies, sharing about their trip / what they saw & learned / how they are different / what their plans are now. Well that's most people anyways. When I come home it's only to my mom and stepdad, the rest of the Brady Bunch (2 sisters and 3 stepbrothers, dad and stepmom, 2 stepbrothers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins) are spread all across the US. So after two flights with really bad airplane food, having my bag stay overnight in Paris without me, then getting pulled over and having all of my bags searched (I don't think they had every heard of Swaziland so I was flagged down). It was back to life at home - for the last 10 years my family has been involved with a charity called the Ronald McDonald House Holiday Cruise. They were running a little behind in their normal schedule and had a lot of families just arrive at the house this meant that I Thu, 3 Jan 2008 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=a-change-of-plans http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=a-change-of-plans After a ton of thought, prayer and talking with those around me I've decided to come home early. There really isn't much happening here at the moment and sitting in an office with nothing to do and then a big empty house just doesn't sound like fun for the next month or so. I have always been one who hates wasting time or money and this feels like it would be both. I was scheduled to come home in Feb, but just changed my flight to come home earlier (unfortunately for my family here & fortunately for my family there I am flying home Dec 17th!). Don't worry I talked with both Gary & Lisa Black as well as the head of AIM here in Swazi, Jumbo, and they all agree that it is a good thing to do. While I am home I will continue to work on Breathe Africa, probably get a part time job (at the very least I will be back in my seasonal position at See's Candies - I can't wait to see all of you guys!!), as well as catching up with all my family, friends, supporters, and churches who have b Fri, 14 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=how-do-you-take-control-of-chaos http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=how-do-you-take-control-of-chaos This is the question that I have to ask my self over and over again. How do you take control and bring order to chaos? How do you allow chaos to surround you without becoming angry and frustrated yourself? What do you do when chaos is in control? I took a team of Americans to Nsoko on Friday. It was a Seattle sort of day, gray clouds covering the mountains and drizzling rain falling steadily. The red dirt of Nsoko just formed a mud that caked the bottom of our shoes (when we left I had orange peels hidden in the middle of the mud on the bottom of my flip flops). When we arrive the team lets me know that they brought things that they want to hand out to the children. We all went under the only bit of cover that there was. While we waited for the gogos (grandmothers) to arrive I sang a couple of songs with the children, asked them what they remembered from last week (the Christmas party - that we talked about Jesus), and told them that the team was here to bless them because the Lord Mon, 10 Dec 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=nsoko-party http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=nsoko-party please join with me in prayer as tomorrow, Wed, Nov 28, is our Christmas / Birthday Party in Nsoko. we have no idea how many children will be there, so we have gifts and goody bags (fruit, candy, cookies, and soap) for about 130 children and i a ton of clothes too! this is far more than we should need, but you never know what will happen. please pray that everything goes smoothly (against chaos), that we have enough to give to everyone, and that everyone has a good time. gary black is really sick and will be un able to attend : (  please pray that he will be healed and be back to his normal self soon. will post pictures and stories after the big event. thanks!    The kids love to check out their reflection in the vans, these boys were even practicing their dance moves!    I think the whole community gathered around our little care point with the hopes of new clothes, a toy, or even just a piece of fruit. There were just over 200 children by the end of th Tue, 27 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=the-fathers-heart http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=the-fathers-heart i decided when i came to swazi that i will attend the churches in the rural areas when we are ministering there, but the rest of the time i want to go to an english speaking church allowing me to really receive. so i've been attending the potter's wheel in mbabane every sunday. this last sunday pastor kevin ward was teaching on the father's heart. now i've heard a lot about the father's heart... we taught on it at every dts with ywam, and one of my old pastors spoke and taught on it frequently. of course i heard some new things and gained a little bit more understanding of the father's heart. but i think the best part of the whole service was the very end... the pastor publically asked his parents for forgiveness for all of the times that he 'has not fully shown christ through his life'. then one of the men from the congregation came before the entire church body confessing and asking for forgiveness for being unfaithful to the chuch body and to his wife. every m Tue, 20 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=the-boss-is-gone-party-time http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=the-boss-is-gone-party-time Gary and Lisa went to Hong Kong for the week to help debrief the World Racers and get them ready for going home... So what else should I do, except party? Of course, knowing me, I am not the roudy type. So no I am not out painting the town every night. The guys who run all of the Care Points in the Manzini area are doing Birthday Parties! It is the first time that they've done them, so they are just celebrating everyones. Being the briliant people that they are, they've decided to spread the parties out over the next three weeks.      Seeing that I can't totally neglect my work in the office and Nsoko, I have been given the task of baking the cupcakes and cake. This may seem like a little task... however baking 50 - 100 cupcakes and one medium size sheet cake per care point is not so easy. I've been blessed to be living in a house full of young people who gladly decorate all the cupcakes for me (I think they just want to lick the bowls when they are done, but th Thu, 15 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=reality-hits-my-heart http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=reality-hits-my-heart Reality, it's something that I live in, yet there is always a part of me that wants to deny it. Because let's face it, reality is scary, the truth hurts. This time it wasn't just a slap across the face, but it ripped out my heart and left it laying in the red dirt of Africa We went to Nsoko and were doing what we normally do playing with the kids, peeling oranges, making funny faces, and just having a good time. It wasn't a big group, just or normal local kids. It was a pretty quiet and relax full day, no older guys hanging around or kids even really acting up. Things were good. Our translator was there, which was great. We often are asking questions about the kids since we haven't started profiling yet (getting the background of each child). This day a younger woman stopped by for a couple of minutes and then moved on (not that unusual). Smah told us that she was the mom of two of our favorite regulars. She then told us that the woman was a prostitute. . . It was on the way home a Mon, 5 Nov 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=more-nsoko-pics http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=more-nsoko-pics no i havn't fallen off the face of the earth, been mugged or anything else... just been really busy in the office! we did get a chance to go to nsoko last week, which was awesome! it totally fills me back up to go and spend time with those babies... can't wait to go back again next week!                          Sat, 20 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=a-big-big-house http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=a-big-big-house It's a big, big house with lots and lots of beds, A big, big, porch with lots and lots of shoes, A big, big yard where we can camp outside, It's a big, big house It's AIM's white team house That's right my house is full and overflowing!! We had almost 60 people move in on Saturday, for a week. They are a group of American AIM members who are all going to be doing missions in Africa, and are here for a week of training and ministry. We've had Seattle weather' the last week, so it's no shoes in the house and messy floors. So once again it's to the extremes of community living. I have grown so used to basically living on my own, I share the house with Basil and Stephanie but we live in separate parts of the house. So the concept of noise all the time, a dirty house, and knowing that things from my fridge and pantry are going to disappear is a bit difficult to get used to again. I don't mind having teams in, but normally I think of about 15 - 20 people, anything over that is just a Mon, 1 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=a-hobby-of-mine http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=a-hobby-of-mine i've fallen back into taking photos... it's been awhile... but i really do love it :)  here are some of my latest favorites that i took on lisa's camera... Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=everyday-choices http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=everyday-choices there are millions of decisions that we make everyday. most of them we don't even have to think about, we just do them. i was standing in line at the grocery store this afternoon, just getting a drink to wash down my lunch. just like back home there are the 'last minute' items at the cash register. it was quite tempting to pick up a candy bar, just because. i didn't need it, or even really want it. so i decided to save the few extra pennies... instead i bought the grandmother behind me's groceries.... a small pack of lunch meat. what will you be tempted to buy the next time you wait in line at the grocery store? Mon, 17 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=pieces-of-my-heart http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=pieces-of-my-heart Anytime the Blacks are going down to Nsoko, I try to hitch a ride. It's an all day event, so we don't get to go as often as we'd like. Last week we were able to make a quick trip since Gary had a business meeting. We stopped and bought oranges to give to the children. Because we got there a little bit late, there weren't many kids around. The kids that were there all ran up to the vehicle as soon as they realized it was us. It's amazing to see the joy that fills their faces when we come, you'd think it was Christmas and we were bringing bags full of presents instead of fruit. We decided to start handing out oranges since we were only going to be there for an hour. While Alexis and Emily were handing fruit out to the little kids I notice a face or two hiding inside the 'building' (it has a roof, but two of the walls are now made of wired mesh instead of bricks). Being who I am I instantly went inside to see if the kids wanted to come out. Inside was a little girl who wasn't to sure Wed, 12 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=soaking-in-their-faces http://caseywells.myadventures.org/?filename=soaking-in-their-faces     I've been spending the last couple of weeks I've been working on some presentations and brochures for our Nsoko project. I've looked at the same photos over and over again. But I never get tired of it. I had Lisa's laptop for a few days and ended up putting the photos on the screensaver just so that I could watch them some more. I'd put on some worship music and then just let the screensaver run. This is what it's all about. I am here for the kids. There is a statistic that of the children not going to school (58% of the kids) 70% of those kids will have HIV by the time they are 15, and only 1 in 10 will make it to the age of 30. These are my kids. These are the kids that we are trying to keep alive. The secular organizations came in to try and fix' the problem of AIDS/HIV, to see the statistics drop. But the statistics haven't dropped. Things haven't changed. I asked the main Gogo (Grandmother) Elisabeth what these children need, and she didn't tell me Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT
