YOU DIED FOR THEM
.
.
From the Children's Cup "Forty Days of Prayer" website:
.
Thank you, Lord for the opportunity to teach children who otherwise would not be getting an education because they are too poor or too sick or too rejected.
.
Help us to reach into the hearts and minds of these precious kids You died for and show them Your love while we give them the hope of a better opportunity and future in their lives here.
.
Most of all, let us show them the way to eternal life in JESUS.
.

The photos below were taken at a Children's Cup carepoint located across from the dump in Manzini, Swaziland, and adjacent to a squatter's village. The carepoint not only provides the area children with daily physical food, but spiritual food and education as well. I was so very impressed with the children and their ability to quote scripture verse after scripture verse as well as their progress in learning all the different phonics sounds...and these are kindegarten and first grade children growing up in a desperately poor environment surrounded by prostitution, addiction, alcoholism, abuse, and disease. God is doing beautiful things in the lives of these little ones through the ministry of Children's Cup and the dedicated Swazi teachers.
