Our Story is 'HIS'tory
Founders Initiative's story is HIS story because we exist upon Jesus - the Founder and Perfecter of our Faith (Hebrews 12:2) and also to celebrate the 6 Ghana's "Founding Fathers" holiday.
We give all glory to God for our First Year! In that time we have celebrated:
- Supply Missions - Donating Bibles, Feminine Care, and Basic Goods
- Witnessed 100's of Salvation all over Ghana, US, AND Mexico
- Partnered with Churches, Businesses, and Non profits who align with our Christian Values and Mission, Familia De Fe is our core partner.
- Raised over $30,000 in donations in 3 years.
- Received In Kind Donations of : Bibles, Feminine Needs, and Basic Supplies Valued at over $2000
In just 3 short year,s we have seen first-hand families who experience the effects of domestic abuse, poverty, homeless and are in need of Jesus. That is, unless Founders Initiative can stand in the gap to FEED THE NATIONS NOW!
(Isaiah 54:13)
(Isaiah 60:21)
