Our mission is to travel to South Africa in attempts to share the love our father has put into our hearts. We will work with orphans and Aids victims through a wonderful center called Ithemba. Here we will be able to connect with the kids and show them they have not been forgotten. We will spend our days playing with them and loving them just like Jesus has taught us too. We will also be working to film some of the devastation and poverty left from the Apartheid in South Africa, as well as the rising AIDS epidemic throughout Africa so that we can be the voice of a people who have been silenced for far too long.
If you would like to help us by donating from what God has blessed you with, click on the "donate" link under the video to the right of the page. From there you will find out the many ways you can help support our trip and the kids at Ithemba.
I thank all of you for your interest in this cause and I pray that God burdens your heart for the plight of these children of God.
In Him, Michael Tyree

Assignment #2 October 17, 2010 - Private School Missionaries
Write a one page research paragraph on Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela was born July 18, 1918 into the royal Khoisan family on his mother’s side which negated him from any claim to the Thembu dynasty throne of South Africa. His parents named him Rolihlahla meaning troublemaker, but his English teacher gave him the name Nelson. Rolihlahla seems fitting considering Fort Hare University asked him to leave for his defiance against the school’s policies, and later, ran away to Johannesburg from his guardian in protest to an unfavorable arranged marriage. This troublemaking characteristic would later support his passion to end apartheid in South Africa and land him in prison for 27 years. On his prison release in 1990, he began his fight for multi-racial elections which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993. In 1994 Mandela became South Africa’s first black president and the whole world knew his name.
Nelson Mandela was born in Mvezo on July 18, 1918. He belongs to a cadet branch of the Thembu dynasty; however, his Khoisan ancesty from his mother's side prevented him from succeeding to the Thembu throne. Nelson's given name, Rolihlahla, means troublemaker. He was the first member of his family to attend school, and here his teacher, Miss Mdingane, gave him the name, Nelson. After college, Nelson moved to Johannesburg. After the 1948 election victory of the National party which heavily supported apartheid (legal segregation), Mandela became very involved in politics. In 1955, he was a major leader in the Congress of the People whose adoption of the Freedom Charter provided the fundamental basis of the anti-apartheid cause. In 1962, Nelson was arrested. Two years later, he was sentenced to life in prison in the Rivonia trial. Nelson spent 27 years in imprisonment. While in prison, Nelson's reputation grew, and he became known as one of the most prominent black leaders in South Africa. When the president of South Africa suffered a stroke, the new president, Frederik Willem de Clerk, granted Mandela freedom in February 1990. In 1993, Nelson earned the Nobel Peace Prize for his work negotiating with the National Party. On April 27, 1994, South Africa held its first multi-racial election. Mandela won 62% of the votes and became South Africa's first black President.
Nelson Mandela was born in 1918 in the eastern cape of South Africa, in the Madiba clan of the Xhosa speaking people of Thembu. Most people called him by his clan name which was "Madiba". Nelson's original name was Rolihlahla Dalibhunga, but was changed when his school teacher named him Nelson. When Nelson was 9, his father, a counselor to the Thembu royal family, died. Nelson was placed in the care of the acting regent of the chief of Thembu. in 1943, he joined the African National Congress first, as an activist, then changed to the founder and president of the youth league. later on, he wanted to end apartheid, and he got in trouble and so he ended up in prison for 27 years.in 1993 he was rewarded the nobel piece prize, and his life has been an inspiration, in South Africa and throughout the world. To all who are oppressed and deprived.
Rolihlahla Mandela was born on July 18, 1919 in Transkei, South Africa. Rolihlahla means “pulling the branch of a tree”. He was given the name Nelson after going to a local mission school. He married Evelyn Mase, and had four children. In 1958, Mandel and Evelyn got divorced. Then that same year, he married Nomzamo Winnie. They had two girls together. Mandel joined the African National Congress in 1943; he became very involved in politics and at one point in time, and was put in prison. Then when he got out of prison was put on probation. In 1962 Mandela left the country with a fake name and travelled abroad for several months. When he returned to South Africa, he was arrested and put in prison for 27 years. In 1993, he was rewarded with the nobel piece prize. He later became South Africa's first black President.
Nelson Rolihlahla Dalibhunga Mandela in Qunu located in southern Transkei in the village of Mvezo. In 1942 Nelson joined the African National Congress (ANC) and persued them to use strikes and boycotts at the government. He studied in order to become a lawyer so he could protect the black people around him from segregation and discrimination. Nelson eventually tried to overthrow the African government and sabatoge them which led him to spend 27 years in prison. In 1993 he and F.D. de Klerk together shared the Nobel Peace Prize. Then in 1994 he was elected South Africa's first black President. He retired in 1999. Most recentley he has spent his time helping South Africa's struggle with AIDS, who his only son had and eventually died from in 2005.
I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. -Nelson Mandela

From then on he was a very big political leader (hints the presidency!). Some where in his political journey, he was thrown into jail for "sabotage". Even after being thrown in prison, he was still a big political power. He aslo, later on, won the Nobel Peace Prize. He was awarded this in 1993. He was a big inspiration for all the South Africans. He took a stand and represented his people in a very excellent way
