We are currently raising funds to construct the building. Phases 1 and 2, which are the foundation and the ground floor, cost $106,000. The Lord has provided that entire amount through our supporters, and the first floor will be completely finished by June 2025. We are now praying for the Lord to supply the next $88,000 for the second floor. The ground floor will house offices, a dining hall/chapel, and a kitchen with a pantry. The second floor will house one house family and thirty-eight children. While we intend to open the school temporarily using the ground floor in September 2025, we desperately need to construct the second floor to house children. Would you help us pray that the Lord provide the $88,000 for this floor? 

As we raise money for the construction and startup of the Calvary’s Hope Academy, we are trusting that the Lord will provide paying students from the area (whom we will not board) to take care of the orphans whom we will house. Having said that, we know that educating, feeding, and boarding orphans will require faith on our part for the Lord to provide.

Our goal is to see these children have their physical needs met as they learn the Word of God. We desire to see the students get saved by the grace of God, learn the principles of scripture, be trained in an occupation, and we trust that God will call many of them to be church-planters. In this way, we can greatly multiply our efforts of reaching West Africa with the gospel. 

Would you help us pray concerning this tremendous ministry that God has called us to? Only eternity will reveal the impact that YOU will make on souls all across West Africa. 

If you would like to contribute toward this ministry, you can give through two venues:

1. You can write a check to James Ruckman. Put “Calvary’s Hope Academy” in the memo. And mail it to Macedonian World Baptist Missions, Inc. They will put it into a land/building fund immediately and then wire it to our ministry in Ghana.
2. You can send straight through this PayPal link as well. When you click the link, it will take you directly to the land/building fund for our ministry. Please mark Calvary’s Hope Academy with that gift as well.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read about this James 1:27 ministry and praying about it. We believe that God answers the prayers of His people.
