Swaziland: Manzini
About Manzini
God directed us to pioneer a new ministry location in eSwatini by giving us the name of a town in the Manzini region while in prayer. God quickly connected us with the leaders of the community and we were able to share our vision with them. We know God’s great love for the world and especially this tiny landlocked country will be clear to those we minister to. We go low and slow to develop deep and lasting relationships with those in our community.
The majority of the residents practice farming and keep livestock as a source of income. Many people are very poor in this beautiful mountainous region. Most houses don´t have proper roofs, which is a real challenge during rainy season. A lot of people are trapped in alcohol abuse and other addictions but we know that bringing a church into this area can transform a community. Our vision is to see them transformed by the love of God and the power of the Gospel.
Church
Our church is right in the middle of the city and our doors are open to everyone. Here we create a safe and loving atmosphere for people to encounter the Living God.
Outreach
The looks and emotions on peoples faces shows how much it means to them when someone comes to their home. We also do outreaches to nearby hospitals and prisons to share with them the liberating news of Jesus Christ.
