The event was attended by the CSC Secretariat and members of the Women&#8217;s Wing committee, among other people. They not only donated seedlings but also got their hands dirty by planting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Donating to the refugee camp has become an annual tradition for the Women&#8217;s Wing. They have previously also donated clothing items to the camp. The seedling donation event allowed everyone to actively participate in making a difference. Moreover, it also aimed to encourage self-sustainability and allow the refugees to cultivate their own food.&nbsp;By donating the seedlings, the Women&#8217;s Wing hopes to empower the camp residents to grow their food and contribute to their overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seedling vegetable donation event at Malindza Refugee Camp reflects the Women&#8217;s Wing&#8217;s commitment to social responsibility and their dedication to assisting those in need. Through such actions, the Women&#8217;s Wing fosters a sense of community and provides practical support to the refugee population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Prayer and Mission Moment by&nbsp;Ms. Khombisile Dlamini<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Partners in Eswatini<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_council_of_swaziland_churches\/\">Council of Swaziland Churches<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/partner\/africa_partners_kukhany_okusha_zion_church\/\">Kukhany\u2019Okusha Zion Church<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/region\/eswatini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">More about Eswatini<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/donation_page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Make a gift to support the work of the Council of Swaziland Churches (CSC) and Kukhany\u2019Okusha Zion Church (KZC)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":53655,"template":"","topic":[20135],"region":[20007,20035],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Pray with Eswatini, November 12, 2023 - Global Ministries<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.globalministries.org\/resource\/pray-with-eswatini-november-12-2023\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pray with Eswatini, November 12, 2023 - Global Ministries\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Lectionary Selection:&nbsp;&nbsp;Matthew 25:1-13 Prayers for Eswatini Dear Heavenly Father, We are reminded of the responsibility and privilege we have as your servants to serve and make a difference in the lives of others.
