This is the Hayah R.I.S.S.E. Foundation Story.
The Bible describes an encounter in the third chapter of Acts of the Apostles.
1One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer – at three in the afternoon. 2Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. 3When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. 4Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” 5So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. 6Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” 7Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. 8He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God.
Acts 3:1-8
This New Testament encounter highlights the truth that ministry should be about more than sharing God’s word and praying for those in need. Ministry includes moments when one’s hand needs to be extended to help someone in need. This is why Hayah R.I.S.S.E. Foundation, Inc. (HRF) was birthed. This non-profit is designed for Reaching Internationally for Social and Spiritual Elevation; helping people “Rise Higher.” The purpose of HRF is to assess and address the issues faced by persons living in indigence in and around the state of Virginia and in rural villages in foreign lands beginning with Western Africa; advocate for medical, educational, social and spiritual needs; show the power of God’s love through personalized service and care; and raise awareness of these needs and the efforts to address them.
HRF is currently preparing to serve Nyame Bekyere Christian School by providing funding for some urgent needs. The school building needs significant roof repair, windows replaced, and a complete paint job. The school also needs new desks for the students. We are asking you to help us raise $5000 by July 5, 2022 to cover the cost of these repairs and upgrades.
Please make a donation today and join us as we help this school Rise Higher.
