Ian and Jenn Stephens are missionaries working with C.H.I.P.S, Children HIV Intervention Programme in Swaziland, to help the orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV/AIDS pandemic in Swaziland, Africa. Their home base is in Vuvulane and they travel around to various communities testing for HIV, assessing medical needs and treatment options, teaching job skills, providing workshops, and occasionally conducting Crossroads training (character building/positive living/HIV & abstinence). Ian and Jenn's main desire is to share the love of Jesus for each of these precious children while working towards fulfilling the vision of a HIV free Swaziland.

We're moving!


We just got the word that everything is approved and we will be moving to Tshaneni!
This relocation means a ministry change from HopeSchool to working with CHIPS, Children Intervention Program of Swaziland. The program CHIPS is a targeted approach to making HIV care accessible to a very impoverished and isolated area of Swaziland. Care begins with identifying children/caregivers who are candidates for HIV testing, beginning the counseling process and managing their care from actual testing to (if found positive) initiation on anti retro viral drugs (ARV”s).

This will be a positive change for us and we are looking forward to it. The Hope School students are now all going to public school and we will continue to keep in touch with them. Please continue to pray for us as we make this transition.
