Micah Pattisall and the team from Salem Chapel are on the ground in Swaziland, ministering to the kids there. Here's a little of what he had to report on his blog:

I shot a picture today of a kid. He was smiling so widely like any other happy go lucky boy.  Yet his clothes were dirty, torn and did not fit him. His feet were shoeless and his left foot showed the scars of a bad burn that had left his skin disfigured and his toes shortened.  Yet he smiles! I can tell you right now that I would be throwing a pity party every day if I had it half as bad as these kids.  Yet they smile and respond to love. [full article]

This is just one of the many pictures in the orphan ministry mosaic, and a peek inside the blessing of serving orphans in the name of Jesus.

Thanks Salem Chapel for what you're doing at Mpholi.

We need more Micah Pattisall's and Salem Chapel's to take on orphan ministry projects in places like India–where the orphan population exceeds 25 million children (About 2-1/2 times the population of North Carolina where Salem Chapel is located).
