"Godwinks"

“Godwinks”. That’s what Pam calls it.

Pam and Bud were busy stuffing envelopes in the Touch A Life office. They were having their own “mini board meeting”, dreaming of ways TAL could extend love to more kids when Pam’s cell phone rang. It was Tommy Drinnen, the “Missionary Man” who’s in Feteh, Ghana, West Africa. He is in charge of Hope Christian Academy at Village of Hope. Eleven of our kids are there: the original seven plus the four Bud brought down from Kete Krachi during his recent trip.

“Mama Pam”, said Tommy, “Some students want to talk to you”.

With that, Pam and Bud were gifted with a chance to chat with Hagar, Sarah, Richard, Kojo and Kofi! They are a half-world away--yet, so close to our hearts. After only months of living in an atmosphere with Godly people loving, caring, healing and teaching them, these children have become…CHILDREN again!

Hagar--who had been so emotionally and physically wounded—is now a bright and cheerful young lady. She was so glad to talk to “Mama Pam”. And Kojo is still steadfast in wanted to become a driver for Village of Hope! (Do you suppose it’s because of the VOH driver who transported him and the other six from the hell they were living in to Village of Hope last December?)


What a miracle! Thank you, Lord, for allowing Touch a Life to do what you’ve allowed us to do!

And thank you, friends, for all your prayers and support!
