Overview
Mission
Making disciples and empowering communities through holistic training and development.
What it reported doing in 2024
Childrens Outreach: Throughout 2024 we had the privilege of serving nearly 600 children ages 2 to 17 in the village of Anagbo Benin. This community marked by poverty often requires children to work on farms from a young age leaving little room for them to simply enjoy being children. Our outreach takes place twice a month creating a consistent and safe space for children to gather. Each session includes: 1 Games giving children the chance to laugh play and experience joy 2 Discipleship Classes teaching biblical truths and nurturing spiritual growth. 3 Gathering to celebrate 4 Snacks providing sandwiches and drinks a simple but meaningful act of care. Beyond the outreach gatherings we are committed to long-term development through providing school supplies ensuring children have the tools they need to succeed academically. In June we built a new library giving children access to books and resources that open doors to learning and opportunity.
