A Ban Against Neglect (ABAN), Wheat Ridge Ministries' newest INSPIRE project, is bringing healing and hope for a brighter future to young women and their babies living on the streets of Accra, Ghana.
 

ABAN is solving two problems with one solution. Every day, over 40 tons of plastic waste from drinking water bags is thrown into the streets of Accra. Every night, over 30,000 children fall asleep on those same streets. ABAN provides some of these street girls with safe shelter and food as well as an education and the opportunity to learn a trade, make a living and secure a future, while at the same time helping to transform their city into a healthier environment.  Learn more about ABAN, a current Wheat Ridge Ministries grantee.

 

Sharing the Good News with other believers in Christ

We need your continued support and prayers as we move forward with this collaboration to provide Gospel related materials for teachers, administrators and students.

Our team was invited to come to Accra and work with the school administrators and teachers.  This is a group of 5 Lutheran schools, with over 150 teachers and 2800 students all wanting to learn more about the Gospel and develop a personal relationship with their Lord as they teach and learn.

Opportunities to donate to the global EdAchieve initiative include:

• Only $5.00 will purchase a Bible that will go directly to the 5 Accra Lutheran Schools.
   
• We have a partnership with Family Christian Books Stores. Donate now! We will purchase a bulk shipment from Family Christian. Our goal is $5000 by Dec. 25th,  2014.Your $5.00 donate will last an eternity. It is the cost of a Starbucks drink.
