Swaziland and Kenya


As many of you know, Pat and I had the awesome opportunity to travel to Swaziland and Kenya with Go Global Missions and work with an organization called Children's Cup. The purpose of Children's Cup is to take humanitarian and spiritual aid into the hard places where war, natural disasters and disease epidemics have devastated societies. While we were there, we were able to show the love of Jesus in a hand's on way. We were able to work with various Carepoints. A CarePoint can be looked at as a school, a medical clinic, a cafeteria, or a meeting place. No matter what program is going on at a CarePoint, each is most definitely a safe haven for hundreds of orphans and vulnerable children that are in such desperate need of hope. We experienced so many emotions while on this trip, and of course you come home constantly wondering what you can do to continue to help. I feel like I am still processing all that I saw and was a part of in the short time I was there. The Lord has placed such a tender spot in our hearts for the wonderful people of this country. I am excited about what is next. Check out the pictures from our trip at this website http://picasaweb.google.com/kristishack/GoGlobalTrip
