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.

Future Teacher and Role Model



Nchlachla, our day guard, has always wanted to teach. He has a vision to teach and feels that this is what the Lord has called him to do. Lately, Nchlachla has been searching for another employment opportunity and would like to pursue teaching. 

He did finish high school but his grades were low on his final examination.  Nchlachla now has an opportunity to retake his high school final examinations, even though he is 28 years old but the problem is lack of finances to pay for the retest. 

We're asking you to pray for this young man, who loves the Lord, is hardworking and would make a great teacher. Nchlachla desires to honor God in a way that goes against the culture here, and be fully committed to his wife and doesn't plan on taking any additional wives. Nchlachla is a great Christian male role model, which the young people here in Swaziland really need, and we know that God can make such an impact on the next generation through Nchlanchla. 

The total amount needed to retake the high school examinations is $250. Please join us in first praying that Nchlachla will continue to grow in the knowledge of God, that God would use his willing heart in a mighty way and would bring about incredible change for this generation through Nchlachla. Pray also that Nchlachla would continue to have wisdom and love for his wife and that their marriage would be protected. We continue to pray that God would open up opportunities for him to teach and we trust God will work out all the finances, examinations, and employment.

If you would like to provide a tangible help to this future teacher, you can donate to our account and then just let us know that it is for Nchlacla. Your gift will not only be a blessing to Nchlachla, but will be far reaching and will touch the lives of all the students that will be under his care.
