Changing the lives of Valuable yet vulnerable Children through Ministry CarePoints

[Christ's Hope DRC @ChristsHopeDRC]

Working with our team in Swaziland on the recruitment of children for our very first Ministry CarePoint there!

[Christ's Hope DRC @ChristsHopeDRC]

Bizarre to work without power cuts, a constant internet connection and no 'unpleasant visits' of people wanting money!

[Christ's Hope DRC @ChristsHopeDRC]

Love this from my morning devotion: God's love is wide enough to include everybody, long enough to last 4-ever and permanent as the sky!

Working on plans with our Swaziland team to prepare a Ministry CarePoint launch!

Prayer please: Next area 4 new MCP in Kin: girls as young as 10 sell their body for a piece of bread. 5,7 in every 10 kids = HIV in/affected

Mam says: I pray for Christ's Hope every day because if it wasn't for the CarePoint, there would be no hope for my child!

[Christ's Hope DRC @ChristsHopeDRC]

Talking to school principle who tells me: some of your kids do so well that you can't tell they are orphans/vulnerable. That's our goal!

@ the CarePoint the other day. Having a child who asks his friend for forgiveness is encouraging. Spiritual growth and its signs!

[Christ's Hope DRC @ChristsHopeDRC]

A psychologist @ Ministry Center concludes: This s great: no ties with family broken & kids are ambassadors of change to their community.

First quote of 1 in 6 internet providers we identified: installation cost = 2000US$, monthly fee = 700US$ … We'll skip this one!
