We are privileged people. Many children in the world are not, like this little orphaned child in Swaziland. Would you think of sponsoring this little child?<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n

At the Jesus Creed blog, we are asking\u00a0you to consider joining Kris and me in supporting a CarePoint in Swaziland that could make a life-saving and spiritual difference in the lives of hundreds of underfed and orphaned children. Here is our little Swazi child to the right; you can help a child like this too, and make Christmas come true for little orphaned children in Swaziland.<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n

Here\u2019s what we are asking you to do: We want to join together financially, in prayer, and eventually in trips to 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, and they will process our gifts and provide funds and services for Mabanteneni and the children there.\u00a0<\/font><\/div>\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 you 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 only about 34 dollars per month to care for the basic needs of an orphaned child.<\/font><\/div>\n
