to Ghana on a mission trip. That team did repairs on our

also reached out to children in the neighborhood of our training
particular, they learned the needs of a group of orphans who live
n the street.
ose team members returned to their home church and told the story
n thousands of miles away who needed help. And the good people
eet Church of God in West Virginia got busy. Those folks raised

eks later, we loaded hundreds of pairs of shoes and playground
balls and sunglasses and other goodies – and we shipped
them to Ghana, right along with 213,000 meals that you

orphans down the street from our training

with those toys, wearing those shoes.
Every time food or shoes or toys are
shared, the love of God is shared as well.
And that’s how you are changing the
world – one meal, one pair of shoes,
one child at a time.
you for the difference you are making.
