So, once again, I hope you will ponder and pray over sponsoring a child at only 34 dollars per month.\u00a0Our hope is to use this blog space to urge readers to consider sponsoring a child in Swaziland, a land in desperate need of services like Hope Chest. \u00a0As of the writing of this post, 19 children have been \u201cadopted\u201d and there are 6 more in need of adoption (but Tom Davis at Hope Chest will find more if we can sponsor them). \u00a0Please think if this is a ministry of which you would like to be a part.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

If perhaps you are moved to help orphans in Africa, we\u2019d like you to consider Mabanteneni\u2019s<\/a><\/b> community of orphans and pastors and Go-Gos who care for the local kids. (Please click and check out the kids.)<\/div>\n
