The Beveni garden has been started

Thanks to a gal I met on Facebook, and her team of adults and youth, the garden at Beveni has been started!

Annalize lives in South Africa. She and a group of people from her church spent last weekend in Swaziland, at the Beveni Carepoint, with the goal of starting a garden for the 102 vulnerable children and orphans cared for there.

They were concerned the land would be too hard to dig, as the drought has been extensive. So they prayed that God would give rain.....and He did! A gentle rain fell for most of the weekend, making it possible to dig a garden and plant pumpkin, onions and spinach.

I had a phone call from Bob Mudd, COO of Children' HopeChest , this morning. He was at Beveni when he called. He wanted us to know that it is a place full of life.......full of children.......and full of food!

We can and are making a difference. This faith community, created through the power of social networking of Facebook, has resulted in a group of people from Canada, the USA and South Africa being the hands and feet of Jesus to a group of children in Swaziland. He is a very BIG God, and totally able to accomplish His will: that we love one another and that we start looking more and more like His Son!
