“Once you go to Africa, you’ll go back in your mind every day for the rest of your life.” —Dan Ohlerking, Children’s Cup Co-Founder.
The kingdom of Swaziland lies within the borders of South Africa and has a population of 1.4 million people. 21.3% of Swazis live in cities. 25.1% are evangelical Christians. The GDP per capita is $5200 (compared to $48,100 in the US), and the life expectancy for a Swazi is around 49 years. An estimated 40% have HIV/AIDS. There are 120,000 orphans in Swaziland.
Since 2011, Liberty Church has partnered with Children’s Cup in their mission of bringing humanitarian and spiritual aid to areas devastated by war, natural disasters, disease, and the cycle of poverty. Children’s Cup’s long-term approach to transforming communities and their comprehensive care for orphans and vulnerable children brings the message that “Hope’s name is Jesus.”
After joining Liberty Church on a missions trip to Zimbabwe with Children’s Cup, Gethin and Bex Amoss were sent out as Liberty Church’s first missionaries, and have been working at the Children’s Cup CarePoint in Swaziland since 2013. We are so thrilled for our trip in October to take part in the work they are doing in Swaziland.
From October 19–28, our team will participate in site visits and feedings, host a family fun day outreach, visit a home for orphans called “I Am Not Forgotten,” and experience both a night safari and a sunrise safari.
Trip Costs
The Swaziland trip is about $1000 more affordable than past trips Liberty has taken to Zimbabwe. In addition to flights, which run around $1000, the cost is $1620 for a double occupancy room or $1990 for single occupancy. The costs include ground transportation, meals, accommodation, sightseeing trip, and medical travel insurance.
Important Dates
If you are interested in joining our team this fall, please email [email protected]. The online application and $500 deposit are due on July 1st. On August 1st, the physician’s waiver and liability waiver are due along with a copy of your passport. All fees and flight confirmations are due by August 15th.
We hope you’ll consider joining us on the week and a half that will change your life.

On June 7th, the Soho community is moving to a new location further downtown. Extensive renovations are taking place at the Scholastic Theater and a new home has opened up for us at 41 Broad St, the Broad Street Ballroom.
It’s a beautiful space with great classrooms for our growing Liberty Kids program. The location is accessible to more subways and is in one of the fastest growing neighborhoods in the city. The Broad Street Ballroom is just around the block from the iconic Trinity Church and the historic Federal Hall, and it faces the New York Stock Exchange.
The service starts as usual at 11:00am, with the Lounge opening up at 10:30am. If driving, please allow extra time to find street parking (free on Sundays) or use the parking garage at 39 Exchange Place.
Although we’ve loved our time on Broadway in Soho these past three years, the move comes at a great time, with an opportunity for new growth and new things as God is calling our church to rise up and build, both for our community and for generations to come (Isaiah 58:12).
Lead Pastor Paul Andrew says, “Every time we’ve taken a step, God’s moved us forward. God knows the end from the beginning, and I just have every confidence of it growing and being better for us in ways we can’t even imagine yet.”
We believe, as Proverbs 11:11 says, “By the blessing of the influence of the upright and God’s favor [because of them] the city is exalted.”
And the Broad Street Ballroom is a hub of influence and growth. Jessi Green, Community Pastor of Liberty Church Union Square, shared that in the event industry, it’s well known as a place to reveal and launch big things. “Every great new product launch happens at the Broad Street Ballroom. I went to an event for Samsung, and probably the best event I’ve been to in the city was at that venue.”
Our Soho community is full of visionaries and influencers. As we put a stake in the ground in the Financial District, we get excited about God’s redemptive purposes, as well as the legacy of godly leaders who changed history in this very place.
As Brooklyn Community Pastor Kristen Tarsiuk noted when walking the neighborhood, “The nations come to this spot. The world will be gathering at our doorstep. But it’s also a place of family, where kids are running on the sidewalks. And there’s a space open just for us.”
We can’t wait to worship together as Liberty Church Downtown for the first time in our new location on June 7th.
