The Queen Mother of Swaziland wanted to meet Children's Cup director Ben Rodgers and thank him for 'Cup's help for the people of Swaziland.The current project was for warm blankets to be given to needy elederly Swazis.
Ben has an embarrassing memory of this event. Protocol calls for guests to await the Queen Mother on their knees. Well, Ben's legs went to sleep and he couldn't stand up when she called him forward.
So he crawled on his knees to meet her. He was embarrassed but the Queen Mother took it as an act of deep respect.
Recently, the King approved Children's Cup to receive several acres of prime property to develop a youth ministry and sports center where food, education, medical care and skills training and sports are made available to the children and youth.
Swaziland's leaders have observed how Children's Cup cares for several thousand of Swaziland's orphans and vulnerable children.
Keep on your knees, Ben--before God.
