THE YEAR 2024 UNDER REVIEW

The Corporate Theme for the Year 2024

We started the year with a seven day prayers and fasting under the theme “SEND ME” with John 20:21 as the scriptural reference to prepare ourselves for the task ahead. The staff of Meaningful Life International met every day to fellowship and seek the face of God.

As a people of faith, we were very optimistic of a successful year despite the glaring challenges of dwindling donor support. As organization that relies heavily on donor support to implement our activities, we continued to experience setbacks in our cash inflows which adversely affected our projections for the year under review.  We could not implement many of the activities as planned. However, the Lord has been faithful and to us and we made some gains to the glory of God.  We are eternally grateful to God and to our faithful partners who stood firmly with us in the mist of the tough times.

Access to clean water still remains a huge challenge in most of the rural communities in Ghana. Many of these communities drink from unclean sources and in most cases, competing with animals from the same source. The situation becomes even dire when some of these water sources dry up during the drought season. We have the calling and passion to respond to these challenges by providing them with clean and reliable source of water but are often constraint by limited financial resources.

During the year under review, we drilled 10 boreholes in Kpetraza, Kpotavi, Aboabo—Okoto, Wudokpo, Dosiakorpe, Kpelikorpe, Nchensie, Amenamu, Tuunaayili and Kukoonaayili. There is currently one more borehole project under construction at Agbodzakope in the Akatsi South District

In partnership with the Doron Medical Center and our summer teams, we were able to embark on five (5) major medical outreaches in some deprived communities.  These communities are; Kpotavi, Agbodzakope, Amangoase, Noanyikpo and Akwamufie.. Approximately more than 1000 people benefited from the medical outreaches.

Meaningful Life International continues to reach out to many Communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ; preaching salvation and preparing souls for the second Coming of our Lord Jesus. Our Jesus Film Show outreaches have laid the foundation for Church planting in some of these communities.

During the year under review, we partnered with the Harvest Mission Chapel A/G to organize two film shows around Tema community 11. We also partnered with campus students to embark on massive door to door evangelism in community 11 and its environs. We distributed thousands of gospel tracts and about 55 souls were won for the Lord. Many people rededicated their lives to Christ!

Church planting is very crucial to the vision of MLI. We appreciate the important role a decent place of worship does in the growth process of new believers.  In partnership with the Friends of Africa Organization, we planted a church at Agbodzakope community in the Akatsi South District of the Volta region.

Planting churches to bring hope, faith, and community to new areas.
Planting churches to create spiritual havens for communities
Planting churches that inspire growth, discipleship, and transformation.
Expanding God’s Kingdom by reaching hearts and building communities.
Growing communities anchored in Christ’s love and truth.

MLI works hard to combine our humanitarian aid-driven projects (the Legacy Wells etc) with an empowerment component that seeks to stifle dependency and promote pure development. So aside going into the communities to drill boreholes, the organization also makes sure the community members are well trained on how to properly care for and maintain the boreholes which includes the importance of community ownership, basic hygiene and accountability.

This year, we embarked on community education programs in six (6) communities; Kpetraza, Kpotavi, Aboabo—Okoto, Wudokpo, Dosiakorpe and Kpelikorpe

This year’s special Annual Christmas outreach (SACO) was held in Angornya, a deprived fishing community near Ada in the Ada East District of the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. On 25th of December, a Christmas party was organized for the entire community. We served food, drinks, snacks, candies and water to about 600 people. We also distributed used clothing and foot wear to the people. The widows and pastors were not left out. About 30 widows received gift packs.

With the sponsorship of some of our cherished ministry partners, we have finally purchased our own drilling rig to help with our operations. This is a quantum leap in the life of the organization. We want to express our deepest appreciation to Mr. Randy Fiorini and Dr. Sam Huddleston who spearheaded the fundraising campaign to realize this noble vision.

Legacy Wells

LEGACY WELLS: MLI SECURES A RIG!!

The new rig for Legacy Wells

Meaningful Life International, a non-governmental organization in Ghana, is thrilled to announce a powerful new step in our mission to bring clean water to Ghana’s underserved communities: we’ve acquired our very own drilling rig!

A test run of the rig

For nearly two decades, MLI has been dedicated to drilling wells across Ghana, providing clean water and hope to rural areas in need. This new rig means no more costly rentals—just pure, sustainable water directly to the people who need it most. We’ve already brought relief to over 70 communities, and with this rig, we aim to reach 100 by 2026.

Swordcutting for the rig

At a recent test in Afienya, Ghana, the rig proved its efficiency, supplying clean water to the community and reminding us of the deeper purpose we serve. As Apostle Jude Hama reflected, just as Jesus offered water at Jacob’s well, MLI brings both life-giving water and spiritual guidance to Ghana’s communities.

 

Rev. Dr. Ahlijah has invited churches, mission agencies, humanitarian organizations, and government bodies to join forces in supporting MLI’s vision. Together, we can replace scarcity with abundance, empowering communities to thrive physically and spiritually.

Because of you, a child in Ghana now drinks clean water, a mother no longer fears for her family’s health, and entire communities have hope where there was once only hardship. Your generosity in supporting our new drilling rig has not just brought water to parched lands; it has brought life, resilience, and a future to so many who once felt forgotten.

 

Imagine the joy—a child’s laughter as they taste clean water for the first time, a grandmother’s tears as she realizes her village has been given the gift of health and hope. Your support has turned these dreams into reality, breaking the cycle of suffering and bringing the promise of a better tomorrow.

 

Thank you for choosing to share your heart with us and with those who need it most. Together, we are doing more than providing water; we are pouring out love, hope, and life itself. Your compassion has changed everything.

 

With unending gratitude and all our love,  

Meaningful Life International

We’re making an impact, but we need your help. Partner with us today, and let’s turn dry lands into flourishing communities. Every donation brings us closer, every action matters.

MEANINGFUL LIFE INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WITH THE MISSIONS CHURCH, HOLMES, USA

MEANINGFUL LIFE INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS WITH THE MISSIONS CHURCH, HOLMES, USA

Team Mission Church and Team MLI

In an era where collaboration is paramount for making meaningful change, the partnership between the Missions Church and Meaningful Life International stands as a beacon of hope and goodwill. Together, we  have embarked on a journey to improve healthcare accessibility and provide clean water to communities in need. As we reflect on our recent medical outreaches and borehole commissioning, it becomes evident that our combined efforts have made a significant impact on the lives of many.

The heart of any successful collaboration lies in shared values and a common mission. Both the Missions Church and Meaningful Life International are driven by a deep sense of compassion and a desire to uplift the underprivileged. By joining forces, we have amplified our capacity to effect positive change, reaching farther and touching more lives than we could have individually.

The recent medical outreaches organized at Nornyikpo and Vidzrokope by this collaboration have brought vital healthcare services to communities that often lack access to even the most basic medical care. The healthcare professionals and volunteers from both organizations worked tirelessly to provide screenings, treatments, and health education. Through these efforts, preventable diseases are being diagnosed and treated, and lives are being saved.

However, the impact of this collaboration extends beyond healthcare. Access to clean water is a fundamental human right, yet millions around the world still lack this basic necessity. Recognizing this pressing need, the Missions Church and Meaningful Life International commissioned boreholes in these communities. These boreholes are not just a source of water; they are symbols of hope and progress, empowering communities with the resources they need to thrive.

The success of these initiatives would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of everyone involved, from volunteers and donors to local community leaders. It is a testament to what can be achieved when individuals and organizations come together with a shared vision and a spirit of collaboration.

The mission field can be rough, rowdy and tough! After several days and hours of travelling on our bumpy roads, we make time at the end of the trip to relax, rejuvenate and meditate.

Meaningful Life International specially thanks the lead pastor of the Mission Church, Holmes, USA, Rev. Gregg Johnson and the entire church for their continual and immense support at all times.

God richly bless you all and may His provision and blessings abound to your and your families.

Barely three (3) years of inception, testimonies and the impact stories have been thrilling in the Northern Sector Operations Office of Meaningful Life International.

We continue to embark on Jesus Film Shows and Sunday Services organized in the various communities. These communities include; Kukoonaayili, Zamzugu Yapala in the Savanna Region where twenty-four (24) people gave their lives to Christ, Kudula Community where eight (8) people gave their lives to Christ, Gbumgbum Community in the Nantong District where thirty (30) people gave their lives to Christ,  Nyako in the Nantong District where four (4) men gave their lives to Christ,  Kokpeng, where ten (10) people gave their lives to Christ.

All these communities are Islamic dense areas.

The impact of our ministry is been felt by most of the communities in the hitherlands. Even as we celebrate this modest gains and thrilling testimonies, there is still so much to be done.

We want to say a very big thank you to you for your continual support and prayers. It is because of you that we have these success stories.

We call on all to partner with us in our vision to help these deprived communities with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through church planting activities, medical outreaches, leadership development and the provision of fresh water.

Join us make impact.

ANUROMSO COMMUNITY FINALLY HAS ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER!

Team members at the opening of the borehole

The Bosome Freho District in Ghana’s Ashanti Region is home to the Anuromso Community. There are roughly five hundred (500) individuals living there, of which more than 70% are women and children. For years, the residents of this community have been using unwholesome water sources for both home and industrial uses.  Children, particularly females, frequently had to spend hours gathering water, which prevented them from routinely attending school and limited their future chances. This circumstance had negative effects on the people of the community.

 

In honor of Joanne Spycher, a borehole was dug for this village by Meaningful Life International in collaboration with the Hartley Spycher family.

A picture of the borehole drilled for the community

The Meaningful Life International Team, under the direction of Dr. Godwin Ahlijah (PhD), launched this significant project on September 12, 2023, for the benefit of the public. The Chief and elders of the community, the District Chief Executive, the Member of Parliament {senator}, and other dignitaries were present at the celebration.  The community was ecstatic about everything that had been given to them.

The Member of Parliament (Senator) also expressed his appreciation for what had been done. He also recounted the number of petitions he had sent to colleagues, companies, associations, and humanitarian organizations asking for their support in providing the community with a clean source of water until our team finally showed up.

 

Meaningful Life International would like to thank and appreciate the Hartley Spycher Family for this partnership. The community of Anuromso would have never gotten access to a clean and safe water source at this time if the family had not stepped in. Words cannot describe how happy and appreciative we are.

God richly bless you.

There are still many more ministry opportunities and such communities that are waiting to have a taste of fresh water for the first time in their lives.

 

We want to invite you, our cherished friend and ministry partner, to continue to partner with us to bring relief to the less privileged.

NORNYIKPO COMMUNITY FINALLY HAS ACCESS TO FRESH WATER!!!

Access to clean and reliable sources of water is a fundamental human right, essential for sustenance, health, and development. Unfortunately, the people of Nornyikpo have had to leave without this essentail basic need for many years. Nestled between rolling hills and lush forests, Nornyikpo was a picturesque community that had been grappling with water scarcity for generations. Its only water source, a small and heavily polluted stream, was even inadequate to meet the needs of its growing population.

The people of this community had to travel long distances to access water, often carrying heavy loads back to their homes. The lack of clean water led to health issues, particularly among children, women and the elderly, who are more susceptible to waterborne diseases. The absence of a reliable source of clean water had far-reaching consequences for daily life in Nornyikpo. Basic activities such as cooking, cleaning, and hygiene became arduous tasks.

A beacon of hope emerged in early 2023 when the Mission Church, USA through Meaningful Life International donated a borehole that would provide fresh water for the over 500 population in the community. The joy and excitement that greeted the commencement of the project clearly demonstrates how so dear this gesture is to the hearts of the people.  

By providing clean water for Nornyikpo community, we have not only addressed a basic necessity but also ignited a ripple effect of health, empowerment, and prosperity. Above all, the grounds are now fertile for the penetration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. The legacy of the partnership between MLI and the Mission Church stands as a testament to the enduring power of human compassion and innovation in addressing some of the world’s most pressing challenges.

Your contribution and all you do, supporting us in prayers helps us to fulfill our mission of creating a brighter and safer future for all and above all bringing them the gospel of Christ.

Excited to see the next life-changing and community-impacting mandate we will embark on?

We just wraped up a life transforming missions trip with the Friends of Africa Organisation this August, bringing hope to the hopeless and helping all who are in need. We spent close to a month doing missions in the Akatsi South district of the Volta region. We organized free medical outrreachs in 2 deprived communities, organized leadership seminars for the pastors, church leaders, women and the youth. We also organized marriage seminars, donated to the prisons, orphanages and the widows/aged.

There are many more of ministry opportunities and such communities who are waiting to have a taste of fresh water for the first time in their lives.

Would you be part of this history making?

We would be glad to partner with you.
