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.

Mission accomplished!

We were blessed to have a friend pay for our stay at the Bed and Breakfast in Mbabane. It was a nice trip, we got to visit with many people most of whom we haven't seen in quite some time. That was good to catch up with everyone. Our time at the Embassy and Government's Immigration Department went very well. We were in and out in 90 minutes which is a great time! Now we just have to return in 3 weeks to get our passports and new resident visas. Thank you so much for lifting that up in prayer!  One night was spent having an enjoyable dinner with Daran and Teresa and their family. We got to hear all the kids' plans and visit with Daran and Teresa. They filled our vehicle to the brim with clothing donations that Daran had brought back, along with medical supplies and books to pass out. That will keep us busy for a couple of weeks.

We have heard that the Brown buildings has been taken off the market for now. It would be nice to be able to purchase those buildings to expand Chips. If it is the will of God, we know that it will happen in the right timing. Please pray for us that we would have faith in what God is doing and will do, and that He will provide abundantly for this huge need to expand Chips and the resources to do so.
