We helped host a team from Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida this week. They spent Saturday morning with the teenagers at Makholweni. After games and activities, they shared in song and testimony. Our prayer here is that we can open up opportunities to continue to mentor, teach, disciple, and pour into these young lives. Without the hope and purpose found in Jesus, these kids are destined to be the next victims in the ongoing battle for their very lives. While satan promises lead to death and despair (try visiting the AIDS clinic or the government hospitals), Jesus offers only eternal hope, healing, and compassion.

Can anyone help me figure out how to pronounce Sihle Mkahbela. she is a child we just started sponsering in makholweni. Thanks for any help, Sean
Sihle Mkahbela: See-shlay m-gah-bay-la. 'hl' is made with back of tongue against roof of mouth, 'm' is like a closed mouth mmmmm
Thank you so much for your help. God bless you, Sean
