Do Something Now<\/a> from Children\u2019s HopeChest<\/a> on Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope you can join us in helping kids in Swaziland. We want to focus the Jesus Creed blog\u2019s concern on a CarePoint called Mabanteneni<\/b>. We are committing funds to HopeChest, an organization designed by Tom Davis (pictured), and they will process our gifts and provide funds and services for Mabanteneni and the children there.\u00a0<\/p>\n


<\/font><\/div>\n
But this is more than giving money for food. We want to help build a sustainable infrastructure at Mabanteneni. \u00a0Thus, I want to share with my goal: I\u2019m praying and yearning and hoping you will join us to begin by providing healthy food for children and discipleship training by a local pastor. Then we want to help with the construction of structures, including things like a kitchen, a well for clean water, fences for security\u2026.<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
How do you give? If you\u2019d like to sponsor a child, click on our Sponsor Child page<\/a>. There are also some pictures of children and CarePoints<\/a>. And do check out Nsoko<\/a>.\u00a0It costs less than 40 dollars per month to care for the basic needs of an orphaned child.<\/font><\/div>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
