  • Pan-Africanism

    Jason Richard Boley, Jr. Separation is a result of sin. Our sin caused the separation between humankind and God. Thankfully Jesus came so we no longer are separated from God.

  • Day One – Rilee Ann Jones, Sterling College

  • Making a difference; one step at a time!

    By Johanna Federwisch As a teacher from the US coming to Ghana to teach, my expectations for teaching kids here was more of a dream and excitement than a reality.

  • I think I can, I think I can
