Our Big Plans for the Future

Out of everything that God lays on our hearts to do, as His hand and feet, spreading the love and teaching others abut Jesus Christ is number one. Soon, we will have our orphanage up and running and want to make sure that these children and the community around New Light Orphanage have a safe place to worship, fellowship, and learn the truth of Jesus Christ.
With that being said, we are excited to announce that part of the land, that the orphanage sits on, will have a church built. We pray that seeds can be planted, foundations laid, and relationships with Jesus Christ strengthened here!

We feel as if education is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to the children that come in to our orphanage. One of our goals is to see children, one day, leave New Light as young adults who have been educated and equipped for life in Ghana. So many children in Ghana do not get the opportunity for a good education, but this is not something we feel can
be overlooked. We feel strongly that with good, sound education, that leaders will be grown behind this school walls. With God’s leading, we plan to construct a school near New Light Orphanage. It will be on the Ghana Ministries’ land so that it is safe for the children to walk to each day. We are so excited to see all that God does within the walls of this school. Pray with us for little minds to be molded to do great things in their country!

We have witnessed God do mighty and seemingly impossible things! We have listened to His dreams for Ghana Ministries and continue to step out in complete faith for what He is calling this ministry to. From the beginning, He has laid it on our hearts to provide medical care to many people in Ghana. Currently, we are providing medical care through visiting villages and setting up clinics for a few days at a time. Yes, we can reach many, but the care doesn’t stay long term in the same place. It is with great hope and through a lot of prayer, that part of our land will one day have a hospital for children built on it! To see children needlessly suffering and dying from illnesses that can be treated early on, if only their families could afford it… this should never even be an issue. This would be a hospital where no child would be turned away because of lack of money.

Yes, we understand that these could seem like Herculean tasks. Yes, we understand that all of this will cost a lot of money. But we also fully understand that OUR GOD provides! OUR GOD tells us that ALL things are possible! Would you pray with us as we continue to seek God’s wisdom for what He has laid on our hearts?

This brings us to 16 year old Shalinda Akosah. In June 2019 Dr. Asamoah performed surgery to debulk a tumor in her left cheek. She was supposed to receive chemotherapy and radiation in the area post-surgery but, as is so common in a developing country, the family could not cover the costs and she went without the necessary treatments. Her tumor grew quickly in a short period of time. In January 2020 Shalinda visited Dr. Asamoah and with Ghana Ministries we made arrangements for her to receive the treatment she so desperately needed. Her father, Rogers, was not a believer but has now given his life to Christ!

15 year old Gladys was brought to us in November 2020 with a large, facial myoepithelioma, a benign tumor. Her father abandoned the family leaving Grace, Gladys mother, to care for Gladys, her 10 year old sister Doris and 1 year old twins Paul and Blessing.

Gladys’s mother works in the fields and received very little support from her community as Gladys’ condition labeled her as “cursed”. They could not afford the medical care she so desperately needed. Thanks to donors we were able to sponsor Gladys and she had extensive surgery in January 2021 to remove the tumor. Gladys is a happy, kind, intelligent young lady who aspires to be a nurse one day.

This little fellow had a problem with the fluid in his brain accumulating. We were able to pay for a shunt to permanently drain the fluid.

Baby S. She had a rather large opening in her spine. We provided testing and supportive care. Sadly, she passed before the surgical repair could be done.

Three year old “K” had a tumor on his kidney. We met him at the end of his treatment. Through donations were were able to pay his remaining hospital bills so he and his family could return to their village.
