WOULD YOU PRAY WITH THE CHILDREN?
.


When we traveled to Swaziland last year, we were able to meet some amazing folks who minister through Children's Cup, a Christian relief organization based in Louisiana. We saw the children whose lives were being transformed through the carepoints as they were fed, taught to read, learned other basic school and life skills, and saw God's love in action. Those children know that God is their Father who cares for them. They experience it every time they go to one of the carepoints and it reaches beyond the carepoints into their homes and the surrounding neighborhoods.
.
My daughter's AIM Ambassador Team also spent time at a Children's Cup. They loved on the children who live just across the way from the Manzini city dump. Many of these children would be living lives of prostitution and hopelessness if it wasn't for the ministry they receive at the carepoint.
.
Each year, Children's Cup has a special time set aside to pray for the work they are doing among the children...to pray for the children themselves, to pray for the missionaries, to pray for the Swazi staff, to pray for every need of the ministry and those they touch. It's that time again. Would you please join with me in praying not just for the children, but with the children? I'll be posting the daily prayer reminders, but you can also go to the Children's Cup website and let them know that you are joining with them in this crucial endeavor.

Your prayers impact Lydia's life and so many others. In fact, here is a video of some of those children who you will be partnering together in prayer with:

Thank you!
