Dear Friends, Throughout this interesting year, I’ve been reading the Old Testament, and over and over again I have been reminded of how God defends the orphans, the widows, and those in need, and how He calls us to be just like Him!  Seeing this repeatedly played out in Scripture reminds me that Arm of […]

Our annual Arm of Hope Christmas party took place the day after Christmas with 525 children riding to the venue on 4 buses.  Yes, that’s correct.  Do the math, and be impressed!  Coordinating an event of this size takes a lot of planning and organization, but it was pulled off beautifully thanks to our amazing […]

Remember our banquet last October? And remember how we asked you to partner with us to build the first-ever Arm of Hope building? And remember how we got a matching grant? And remember how God provided abundantly? (*Arm of Hope banquet in 2018) Well, in 2 1/2 weeks I will be IN GHANA, and I […]

Merry Christmas to you from all of your friends in Ghana, West Africa!  Last week was the annual Christmas party and many of the Arm of Hope sponsored kids were in attendance. There were 382 children from the slum community at the party arriving on four buses. If you look closely, you may just see […]
