We have found that our community in Madison is passionate about coming around humanitarian aid and has a deep sense for justice not only in our city but globally as well.
A team of 15 people from our city returned 3 weeks ago from Ghana. This team consisted of people with a variety of talents and trade skills such nursing, chiropractic, missionary work, builder, food industry, public school teacher, university student, massage therapist, business owners, and ministry leaders. This team went over to help establish the work that is taking place in a village in Ghana called Gbefi.
Last summer Global Presence Development was given 50 acres of land in Gbefi which included 3 abandoned buildings by the local Paramount Chief. Yes you read it right – given by a tribal Chief who welcomed us into their community to help with societal transformation.
We called our mission “Mission Possible Ghana” and the incredible team of people that chose to accept this mission accomplished the following . . .
- Began renovation of the 3 buildings for the new Transformation Center: the Hope Home (orphanage), the training Center, and Creative Arts Worship Center
- We hosted 50 orphaned children at the property that are waiting for their new home. We played games with them and taught them how to use their new tooth brushes and tooth paste and gave them all numerous donated gifts such as flip flops, clothes, hygiene items, candy, toys
- A well dug on the property
- As a non profit organization we are now recognized by the Ghanaian government as a NGO (non governmental organization) which will help in shipping humanitarian aid to Africa
- Offered medical assistance and prayer
- Hosted a time with over 400 women on the property for teaching and food distribution.
- Gave a presentation to 600 school children and introduced the vision for the new library being built on the school grounds
