Overview

Mission

Awakening to god ministries (atg) provides love, comfort and hope to people who are suffering in the u.s. And around the world by providing spiritual, physical, mental and emotional solutions. In fiscal year 2024, atg partnered with prayer at the heart (path) in praying for a spiritual awakening, and in sharing god's love with the suffering in the u.s. And around the world. Activities included: - launching a 30 minute prayer challenge to encourage christians to pray through the lord's prayer together in their communities for 30 minutes a week. This spread accross the us and into india and canada; - launching a mentoring initiative for young adults; - several solemn assembly prayer gatherings across america; - appointing several more state coordinators; - we provided direct comfort, encouragement, advice and prayer to millions of people through face to face, social media, on-line, hard copy, email and snail mail; - we completed 9 more bore wells to provide the poorest of the poor in ind
