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.

An amazing Christmas give-away!

(Warning: lots of pictures of happy kids)
  What can we say?  God is Amazing! Over 220 children heard the Christmas message, sang songs, danced, played games, received gifts, goodies and had a lot of fun at our Christmas give away.  

There was enough donated that we were able to bless three communities Mgldzangcunu, Section 19 and Khomba, even though we said we were only doing Mgldzangcunu, but God had other plans!
After we had given out all of the gifts, Ncamsile, one of the mothers at Section 19, came to us and said “It is the river of God. It flows from our friends in America, through the Stephens and out into the children and we must not stop the river from flowing. You can see it in the children’s faces as they received their gifts and opened them.”
 
    We want to thank you for opening your hearts to provide gifts for over 220 children. Your generous donations put really big smiles on the faces of so many destitute children. We hope you enjoy the pictures, which say more than the words we can express.

P.S. - If you want to support our ministry, the fastest way is to make an Online Donation via www.WorldOutreach.org
