CarePoint update

I love this update from Children's HopeChest. You will appreciate reading how the children at Lesibovu are benefiting spiritually and physically, plus there's a great personal story too. Please continue to pray for the staff who minister daily to the community of Lesibovu and read in their own words how God is working: 

Here are some examples of what the discipler has been teaching the children:

1-Perseverance and Resilience (July 05 – July 08) In this lesson, we will learn what perseverance looks like. We will consider challenges where it is easy to give up and ways we can choose to persevere. We will look at Job’s life and hope for what will come after trials. Memory Verse: Revelation 2:26 

2-Hope for my Future (July 12 - 15) In this lesson, we will discover that we can hope in Christ and God’s love. We will see how hope can help us to live our lives when it is hard. Memory Verse: Jeremiah 29:11

A few months ago the country started rolling out the de-worming campaign by administering de-worming and bilharzia tablets to school-going children all over the country. This campaign was re-introduced after a seven-year suspension following public outcry after pupils reacted to the medicine in various ways. The World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that; saying just about every medicinal drug has its effects and schools should not be closed for the reason that pupils are displaying side effects.

Prayer request-When I look at the life on Nokwanda Mamba I am impressed with her maturity. She is just 10 years old but her responsibility is even above a married woman with ten children. She has a brother and a sister who are both younger than her. She is doing grade 3 at Lomveshe primary school. Her academic grades are very though, reasons for that are based on the fact that she is engaged in so many responsibilities at home. She does all girls chores at her homestead since she’s the oldest child. The head of the homestead is her old bed ridden grandmother who depends on her. This family fully depends on CarePoint of Lesibovu because no one is a caregiver to them except for the CarePoint. The CarePoint has made it possible for a home visit with a food package is done almost every month. Nokuphila do the cooking during weekends whenever there is no cooking at the CarePoint. During the course of the week they all eat at the CarePoint, and bring home a portion for their grandmother. Please pray
for this family and for Nokwanda!
