Dear Friends and Partners of Arm of Hope, Today I am so grateful for each one of you – for your sacrifices, for your dedication, for your encouragement, and for your continuous support of Arm of Hope. Over the past three weeks since I’ve returned from Ghana, I have frequently found myself going over and […]

Happy Spring to you from Arm of Hope! Here are some exciting updates! THE MEDICAL CLINIC Im excited to tell you that God has provided above and beyond what is needed for the land we purchased for the medical clinic in Ghana!  Thank you to all of you who gave so generously! PRAISE GOD for […]

Dear Partners and Supporters, What a year it has been for all of us, and Arm of Hope is no exception to the chaos.  Thank goodness we have a God who never changes! This past spring I was listening to some messages by Levi Lusko.  He was teaching the story of the Israelites in Exodus […]
