Looking at the pictures I posted above you would think these are normal everyday children. But as the title states, they are….. but just different. Even though, they are making crazy faces, laughing and singing there are some of these children who are experiencing issues that should only be for adults. These children seem to be able to laugh and play though everything they may be going through in their home life. Most of these children have experienced death at a very early age, they have lost one or both of their parents to the disease that has run rampant thought-out Swaziland. Some of these children only get their meals and comfort by coming to the CarePoint. They are taught about God and his love. It is so cute that they stand at your car see their reflection make faces and watch themselves.
God is Good!!!
That is how they continue to play and be children. Here is a view of what it is like when you walk into a CarePoint .
The children run to meet you and take your hand, rub your arms, touch your hair, look up and smile, giggle and pull you along with them. They will stay around you like you are “candy”, when you sit down they will come and sit on your lap. They will try to talk to you in SiSwati and English. Wanting to be played with, and loved on. This is just a small part of what God has called us to minister here in Swaziland . Thank you all for helping us to continue his work.
This month we have started 40 days of prayer. Please remember to pray for these children, their health, their spiritual wellbeing and the ministry that Children’s Cup provides to them each and every day.
