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.

Searching for love

*Post contains sensitive information, please use caution in allowing children to read it. 


There is a young 18 year old girl, Phumzilewho is in the Chips program but she hides from us and the care we offer. She has suffered incredible abuse and rejection, all of which has greatly affected her mentally. Phumzile was raped at 11 years old and had her first baby at 12 years old. That baby died as did her next two children. Her family has disowned her and she is living with Auntie Rose at Section 19. She wanders all over the area searching for love and safety and often is seen at the cane cutter camps.  Please pray for God's protection over this vulnerable girl and that her heart would be opened to come to know the love and healing that God has to offer her. It is a very sad situation.
