Day Thirty-Seven of Forty

These are some of the graves in the cemetary across from the CarePoint.



Mangwaneni Mbabane

As i recall the location of this CarePoint, Lord, in my mind's eye I see the steep hillside, the dirt road, and the huge cemetary across from it.

This is not a wealthy area by any means--it is very poor. Nothing earthly to be desired is found here.

But you know each person living in Mangwaneni, Mbabane, You know their plights, their health issues, their poverty, their sorrows, their cares, the loneliness the widow feels, the horror of the nights that the homeless children know, the hopelessness of the mama sick and dying with AIDS, wondering what will happen to her children when she is gone...

So, Lord, you called Children's Cup to build a CarePoint right in the middle of this darkness. To be the place where life can start anew. Where the hungry can be fed. Where sick children can get medical care. Where hungry minds can learn to read and write and add and subtract. Where kids can learn about the great love of Jesus--and everyone can come to know him personally.

Where Hope can be found.

Anoint our leaders--the missionaries, the caretakers, the cooks, the teachers, and even the gardener. Bless them, meet their needs.

Most of all we are asking for revival in the land. Start right here at Mangwaneni, Mbabane. Across from the cemetary where they are running out of space to bury the dead, because of the AIDS epidemic.

Change it from a place of DEATH, to a place of LIFE.

In Jesus' name,

Amen
