Africa New Life Ministries - This organization was started by Rwandans to reverse the downward trajectory of the thousands of kids and young people impacted by the Rwandan genocide in 1994. Though nearly a quarter-century in the past, the loss of that tragedy is still felt, and this country has struggled to pick up the pieces. Through ANLM, we began by sponsoring and building a relationship with two children. We learned that children who have lived in extreme poverty rarely get the chance to be a child and truly play. In 2013, we were joined by people from all over the world as we built three playgrounds at schools in Rwanda. DONATE HERE The Abba House/Grace Village - The Abba House in Perry, Georgia, is a recovery ministry and shelter for women and children who have lived in abuse situations. Because playing outdoors and making good memories is a healthy part of childhood, we would like to build a playground for these families to get a new start. DONATE HERE Lizzy’s Legacy - Lizzy Roberts was a dear friend of ours. She was born with aortic stenosis (narrowing of arteries), and her condition progressed until she passed at the age of 18. Lizzy was a giving person to the core, and even in her death she was able to save a man’s life by donating her liver. Everything about her precious life communicated her care and love to those around her, and we continue her legacy by donating to projects in her memory. DONATE HERE Collaboration - This is a group of 150+ youth in our greater community whom we come alongside and support. We convene at Georgia Technical College once a month, but we forge these relationships so that they know they have our love and support no matter what life throws at them. As these kids navigate junior high and high school, one of the best things they can learn is that this world is not about them. We’d like to help them understand the value of investing their time into the lives of others. We hope to see them support others in the same way we try to support them. Oak River will give these kids a 10% scholarship toward a mission trip of their choice when the Lord calls them. DONATE HERE |
