Samuel M. Huddleston
Founder
Dr. Samuel became aware of the need to dig wells for clean water in Ghana when Brother William Lewis presented him with a video showing the desperate condition of the people in that nation. He then raised money for one well and decided to make the trip to see the need first hand. In February 2002, Dr. Samuel and his team visited a Muslim village of Fiano, which is in the middle of Ghana. There he met with the chief priests and elders, and worked with World Vision to dig a well in this village. It was during this time that the vision was burned deeply into his heart. His heart is to provide the people of Ghana the the basic necessities of life that we in America take for granted. |

Godwin Ahlijah
Meaningful Life International
Reverend Godwin and Doctor Lenusia Ahlijah have a vision is to see the gospel of Jesus Christ taken to the doorstep of every living soul. In order to minister to the soul and spirit, the body must be healed as well. In 2006, they established a non-profit Christian organization called Meaningful Life International to provide relief aid to the rural villages throughout the nation of Ghana. The three major areas that will serve the people include leadership development, medical outreaches and relief services; such as fresh water, orphanages, and literacy. |
