My Dear Friends in America:

Firstly I would like to great you all in the name of the Lord Jesus Crist I would like to thank you for everything that you’ve done for us here in Swaziland.

You’ve help my fellow Swazis they are what they are because of you. They have enjoyd the Christmas because of you, some children are going to school in ful uniform because of you, they go to clinics, go to hospitals just because of you and the is a lot that I can’t mention them all. And I would like to praise the  Lord for sending the write people to the place where they are needed and at the write time the Stephens they are my parents in Crist they show me the good ways of living. They teach me the good things to do. I thank God for them they are so good to me and to everyone who need help.

And thank you verymach guys for the new bicycle you have paid for me I like it verymach and I’ll take care of it I promise.  This bicycle is helping a lot it is easy for me now to visit the communities we are helping on own even if the Stephens are busy or not around, now the people tell me what they need and me tell the Stephens.  And I would like to praise the Lord for giving you the heart of giving, just to give to a person you’ve never mate sometimes you’ll never. In the Book of Act 20:30 my Bible tells me that it is more blessed to give then to receive.

So thank you verymach guys I wish I could be like you.

May the almighty God bless you all thank you. Your friend in Swaziland Bonginkosi Blessing Nhlanti

John and Elias- both having surgery

A little boy, John, that we found who has hydrocephalus is having surgery today to put a shunt in to drain off the fluid. Please pray for him. It always pains us to see the little ones suffering.

Elias, the elderly man who needs vision surgery, will be having his surgery on Thursday. He doesn't know Jesus and so we are praying that through the provision of the surgery he will come to know the love of Jesus in a real and personal way.

We're so thankful for your incredible generosity that allows us to pay for both surgeries. Thank you for meeting the real life needs of the people we serve. We'll post an update on the surgeries.
Thank you for joining us in prayer!

Update 3/30/31- Both John's surgery and Elias's surgery went well and they are now recovering at home. Thank you for your support and for your prayers!

Chicken Project Update

Maphiveni Ladies Chicken Project update

From small beginnings the Lord will grow this business. 

The Ladies were very happy and thankful to the Lord for providing the opportunity to work. We were very impressed with the organization. They had a schedule in place for when each of the ladies would be working a twelve hour day selling the chickens and caring for them. There is a nightly security guard  to prevent theft

The initial purchase was for 100 chickens but due to extreme heat about 40% died .they have sold 35 chickens at $4.50 each. The ladies were able to sell all the remaining flock within three weeks and had to make a second purchase of chickens. The women are now buying the chickens earlier and keeping them a little longer so the chicks can get a little fatter.  The first batch turned a profit of over $400. We only need to help them cover the cost of the security guard and some additional feed for the chicks. All the rest of the financial needs are covered from the profits of the business. 

Make Phumzile, Christinah, and Busisisiwe are three of the women involved in caring for the project.
