Overview
Mission
The organizations mission is to support and improve the lives of orphans and widows. We strive to build an orphanage every year and love as many elderly people who have lost their spouse. We are also a supporting organization to propel and amplify the Christ centered missions of other organizations.
What it reported doing in 2024
We were able to help a mission base in africa buy land for a youth organization. This project is slowly evolving and shifting from a church to a youth empowering institution to help young men and women receive the needed mental and emotional support to become great world changers. Within this mission Stephen Ferrante who is the leader facilitates the establishment of the individuals identity. They are often born with no birth certificates or documentation so Stephen flys from California to africa to help them get ids and drivers licenses so they can begin their careers.
