Back in February, Mr Philip Gyamfi, a dedicated teacher at High Priest Academy in Ghana, suffered a devastating loss. While on duty, he received an urgent call that his house was on fire. Tragically, the fire destroyed all of his belongings, leaving him and his family in a dire situation. Read on to discover how the story unfolded.
At the time of the fire, Philip's wife Awura was due to give birth. She had to go and stay with family in her hometown and Philip moved into temporary accommodation with his brother. As soon as it happened, High Priest Academy were able to provide Philip with some clothing and a few basic hygiene items (towel, sponge, toothbrush and toothpaste), but they had lost everything.
Thanks to the prayers and donations of WorldShare supporters like you, we were able to send a financial gift to help Philip. Praise God! Philip shared the following message with us which we hope you find encouraging:
"Thanks to your support, we have received a mattress to sleep on as well as a rice cooker and some money, to help us begin rebuilding our lives with renewed strength and determination. In the face of such loss, your timely assistance brought us hope and comfort. The relief items, financial support and kind words we received were more than just material help - they were a powerful reminder that we were not alone. My wife and our newly born baby are still in our hometown receiving care from family and, to God be the glory, they are doing well."
We think this story is an incredible example of how WorldShare can bring hope and transformation to individuals. Please continue to pray for Philip, his wife Awura and their new baby, that God would provide for them a permanent home to settle down in.
