Almost one year ago to the day, I was in a hotel in Swaziland, Africa when I heard a young woman crying in a restroom. Heaving, sobbing, can’t-catch-your-breath kind of grief. The next ten minutes wrote a story on my heart … and it’s one I’m ready to tell. In a couple of weeks and after many thousands of miles of travel, I hope to find her again when I return to the hotel where she worked when I first met her. I don’t know her name but she is someone I will never forget – someone who simply wants a future and whose future, with your help, I want to fund. She represents 200,000 children and teenagers in a country with a 40% unemployment rate and the highest AIDS rate in the world. These young men and women are looking for something simple: hope!
Watch this video to hear this story and consider how you can help Fund A Future.
If you choose to give, please indicate "Fund A Future" in your online transaction. Thank you!
Note to those who attend Capital Church: this effort is a personal one, separate from the wonderful, ongoing Capital programs that are committed to supporting the Swaziland ministry.

Mkhombokati
The Mhkombokati CarePoint serves approximately 200 children, many of whom are orphans and specifically rely on the CarePoint for food. Over the years, several short-term mission teams from Capital have traveled to Mkhombokati, bringing thousands of pounds of supplies and bringing back knowledge – learning from the children and adults on the ground what their needs truly are and how we can help them most effectively.
