Wed Word; Eish!

Eish (aysh): an expression used to express surprise, wonder, shock, or frustration.

Eish! simply can be used by its self in response to something or it can be used in a sentence. “Eish, that gave me a fright!”

This is another one of my favorite South African words. It is a handy little expression and fun to say.

"You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation." Rev. 5:9
I'm a missionary in South Africa. I have been here for over six years and plan on many more to come. God has captured my heart for this nation. Just like with anything there are some days overflowing with joy and other days filled with heartache. But I love it and wouldn’t trade living and working in South Africa for anything. I am living a dream; it is more than I could think or imagine.
