Description
Faith and Fire Revival International is a Non-Governmental Organizational that seeks to take care of orphans and the vulnerable in the society. The main aim of the organization is to make life better and comfortable for the less privileged in our societies and not to make any gains from our operations. Thus, these under privileged in our societies feel part of the society and not an our outcast. By this way, the get to know there are people who are sensitive to their their sentiments and are able to unearth certain hidden capabilities that could have been suppressed by the situation the find themselves. These potentials, when given an enabling environment and the right education, can grow into very great talents which could be used for the benefits of the country and the world at large. This is what Faith and Fire Revival International seeks to achieve. Faith and Fire Revival International was founded by Mr. Setsofia Yaw Agbozo and Mr. Richard Lythberg, who is from the United States of America(USA). Mr. Setsofia Yaw Agbozo in particular generated his inspiration to cater for the orphans and the vulnerable in the society from the ordeal he went through at certain critical stages in his life. He lost his father at his early ages in life had to go through a lot of hardships at those early ages. His mother could not live up to the expectation of catering for the entire family since it was so difficult a task to be accomplished singly. This was a massive blow to his education. The people around him neglected him and his family to their our fate and never seem to care about what happen to them. After coming out of this situation, he felt so much pity and compassion towards the people in similar situations since he had been through it himself and has a first hand idea of how it feels. So, in 1999,he began helping some vulnerable children in Twifo Praso, a town in the Central Region of Ghana by providing them with food, clothing and money to enable them continue their education. With faith, perseverance, courage and truth, he continued his generous activities overlooking the impediments and hindrances that came his way in the course executing his goodwill acts. He strongly believed that it was God who inspired him to do that and never gave up but rather continued with great zeal and exuberance. It was through this that he met Mr. Richard Lythberg in the same year. Mr. Richard Lythberg came to Ghana in the year 1994 with the divine inspiration of coming into the country with the vision of sending out the gospel to the unreached. He also had the motive of establishing bible and orphanage homes in the deprived rural areas of the country. It was in this light that he met Mr. Setsofia Yaw Agbozo. They all had a common aim of catering for orphans and vulnerable. They therefore decided to work hand in hand for the realization of their goals which led to the current existence of the Faith and Fire Revival International which has become the refuge of orphans and the vulnerable in the locality. By God's grace, they acquired a site and began the Faith and Fire Revival International with the idea of extending their arms to the reach of the orphans and the vulnerable outside the Twifo Praso township in the year 2000. With the establishment of the organization, they were able to accommodate some of these children especially those who were from outside of Twifo Praso and cater for them. The organization commenced with ten(10) orphans and fourteen(14) vulnerable making a total of twenty-four(24) inmates. It was never easy but they felt that perhaps that is the cross they have to carry to follow Jesus Christ. So, drawing inspiration from God, they kept moving for they knew that with Jesus in the vessel, they will always smile at the storm. Mr. Setsofia Yaw Agbozo's encounter with Mr. Richard Lythberg was a dream come true, so they joined hands and decided to pull their resources towards the the realization of their goals: to better the lives of orphans and the vulnerable in the society. So far, the organization has taken care of thirty-five(35) inmates comprising of ten(10) orphans and twenty-five(25) vulnerable. Nine out of this number have successfully completed senior high school and the remaining have been sent to learn trades of their own interest. As at now, there are a total of number of twenty-seven(27) inmates consisting of twenty(20) vulnerable and seven(7) orphans who are currently being nurtured. We have over the years chalked some successes but many are the impediments. So long as God continues to give us breath everyday, we shall continue to persevere,be truthful and courageous to see to the realization of our dreams. For we know that one day, God will give us crown of victory. We will continue to fight the good fight with all our might for indeed, Christ is our strength and our shield.
