DAY #27 - MANGWANENI MANZINI CAREPOINT
Mangwaneni Manzini is a community on the outskirts of Manzini off of the main road to Mozambique. It is across the street from the city garbage dump. A high percentage of the people in the community are unemployed forcing them to scrap for food and clothing in the neighboring garbage dump. It is probably the poorest area we work in right now. Pray for the growing number of AIDS orphans and other children living in extreme poverty in this area. Pray that the CarePoint will be a refuge where Hope is given to the “hopeless.”
Today we have posted the prayer that Jean Ohlerking put on her blog for the Mangwaneni Manzini CarePoint:

Today we have posted the prayer that Jean Ohlerking put on her blog for the Mangwaneni Manzini CarePoint:
- For all the children, the neighbors, the volunteers, the cooks, the teachers, the gardener, the missionaries...we ask for blessings of love and joy and peace. For health and happiness. For the contentment of knowing who they are in Christ. For a great passion for serving Jesus. For personal salvation. For the blessed Hope.
Especially, Lord, I am asking for that little girl I met the last time I was there. She was about 10 or 12 years old, wearing a green sweater. She was so happy to have me give her a hug. She came back and hugged me again and again. Her eyes were so full of sadness... Please give her the health she needs. Give her a safe place to sleep. Protect her from molesters. As she partakes of the food and healthcare and education we are so privileged to offer her at this CarePoint, I pray she accepts You as her personal Savior. Give her the peace that passes all understanding. Make her a soul winner and a peace maker. Use her for Your glory.
In Jesus' name,
Amen.
