Tonight, I was watching a special on CNN about Oprah Winfrey. She was started a new foundation called, Oprah’s Promise which help to start a school in South Africa helping 150 girls have a great opportunity for a better life.

It’s only two months until my next trip to Swaziland. Our team will leave the US on March 2nd and return on March 13th. We will be visiting multiple ‘Orphanage Care Points’ where we have current projects, seeing new ones, ministering in baby rescue shelters, and going to several AIDS hospitals. It is true that…
