Overview
Mission
Spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ to those we serve by providing intervention for struggling families, elderly, and handicapped people, and those in danger due to abuse initially in Eswatini and expanding over time around the world. We support, and enhance the lives of disadvantaged and marginalized individuals, children, and communities through mentoring, raising awareness, and providing tangible assistance to relieve suffering and to increase individual abilities to become self-sustaining. We will provide needed food and establish food banks and food distribution centers, shelter, access to medical care, clothing, and education to the needy. We will assist orphans, orphanages, vulnerable families, preschools, and handicapped people. We aim to relieve suffering and lack while helping prepare children and their parents for a future that does not include hunger.
