Football Meets Soccer in Swaziland

(4) Goto Comments

Three NFL football players, Cornell Green, George Foster, and Anthony Hargrove, went on a trip to Swaziland to offer their time and energy in service to children and people in need.

The video linked below gives a brief overview of their trip.  Once again it is illustrated, when a person meets people where they live in poverty and the weight of so much death around them, a person gets to know the people, and begin to understand the situation.  It is quickly realized that something must be done.

One of the players said, “How can I live the American Dream knowing that Swaziland people are dieing everyday.”

“Help is needed…we can’t let Swaziland disappear.”

You can see their story after you get through the short NFL commercial.  Click on the image below to see the video.

Scott Borg who works with Adventures in Missions and Childrens HopeChest was their trip host and leader.  For more details of their trip, you can read how God answered these men’s prayer for protection and rain for a family of orphan children headed by two teenage girls with a garden of crops facing drought.

Hi,
I hope you don’t mind me leaving you a comment. I noticed you have a heart for Him and are a follower of Katie Davis’ blog. I’m a 26 year old woman from England who has been called of God to become a Mama to many Ugandan children. I move to Uganda in January of next year and will be taking in children & loving them, just like Katie. I wondered if you might perhaps be interested in my blog. The link is:

About - KnownToMe

We have begun to ask ourselves...What would we do if our neighbor was starving right before our eyes? Would we not help? Today, their plight is not hidden from us. It is known. We believe there is a clear mandate that we must care for societies most vulnerable members, the widow, the orphan, those in extreme poverty. If you are stirred to a similar belief, if you know there is more that you must do,
Known To Me will make you aware of specific needs and opportunities to help.
