With our teams in Asia, Kenya, and Zambia, we have been able to facilitate 10 Great Commandment Workshops and commissioned 1,541 GO! Ambassadors at the conclusion of these meetings so far this year.
Last week we were able to report that our GO! Ambassadors impacted 3,113 orphan children in April as a result of this new Initiative and their attendance to one of our Great Commandment Workshops.

During these one-day workshops we work with local leadership to schedule local subject matter experts to share the why and how to serve orphan children. The premise is loving our neighbor as part of the Great Commandment as outlined in scripture, with a focus on orphaned children. At the conclusion of these meetings, we ask for commitments from those who believe to be called to serve children in their communities. The ministry leaders who make these commitments become what we refer to as GO! Ambassadors.
Anglican Church of Kenya in Kakamega, Kenya, held Great Commandment Workshop on May 6th.
Some of the support activities that are underway by our Ambassadors in April include financial support for school fees, provision of school supplies, provision of food, mentorship, counseling, providing transport to Sunday School, and hosting children in their homes -just to name a few examples how these children are being blessed.
There is power in the local church, and they know these children and are prepared to address their needs. I am so encouraged by our Ambassadors as they step out in faith to serve others in their communities.
