Sponsorship Opportunities
Sponsorship Programs
LHIM has different sponsorship programs that provide a way for God’s people to be able to help the disadvantaged in Ghana.
Children’s Homes
Many orphaned children are brought to the mission, as well as children whose families are unable to provide for their needs. These little ones are taken in and given a loving home with native house parents to raise them in the training and instruction of the Lord. Two homes have been built and occupied with plans to build more homes in the future.
Orphans
Thousands of children in Ghana have been affected by the severe economic conditions as well as the death of one or both parents because of AIDS or other sickness. This program provides a loving home for them. You can sponsor an orphan for $65 per month.
School
Many children longing to go to school, but whose parents cannot afford to send them, just roam the streets in Ghana. LHIM is helping these needy families by finding US sponsors who are willing to pay $25 a month to send these children to school through our School Sponsorship Program. This program provides not only their tuition, but also a uniform and school supplies for the child.
Village Babies
In Ghana when a mother dies, and the family is too poor to buy formula to feed the baby, their village tradition would be to let the baby die since they are unable to care for it. Twins and triplets are also quite common in which case they need assistance.
Many of these babies are brought to the mission by family members, seeking help to save their lives. You can help save a baby’s life by giving just $55 a month, which provides formula, medical care, and training for the baby and family.
The village baby program provides formula for babies whose mothers have passed away, (and are being raised by an auntie or grandmother), or their birth mother cannot provide breast milk. For $55 a month you can help provide nutrition and care for a village baby.
Native Staff
The many avenues of ministry helps generate employment for native people from nearby villages and local churches. For just $65 a month you can support a native staff’s salary.
Native Pastors
Most Ghanaian pastors have little income and their people are not able to support them financially, yet they compassionately help out their church people with financial needs. LHIM works with a group of ten pastors who are supported monthly by the ministry. For $40 per month you can support a Ghanaian Pastor.
Bibles for Natives
Many Ghanaian Christians cannot afford their own Bible. Here in America many households have not only one Bible, but several. For $3.75 you can bless someone with a new Bible that they will truly treasure and put to use.
HIV/AIDS Clinic Ministry
Many people in Ghana are affected by the deadly AIDS virus. Working closely with the Regional Hospital in Cape Coast, LHIM conducts an HIV Clinic twice a month at the hospital for patients with AIDS. Each person, mostly women and some children, after hearing the good news of the Gospel and having been given an invitation to receive Jesus, is given some nutritious supplements, medications, and food. Through this ministry, many people have accepted Christ as their personal Savior and been baptized in the Atlantic Ocean. The cost of this clinic is $150 each or $300 a month.
Church Buildings
Most church groups in Ghana cannot afford to have their own church buildings. Many times they worship in rented buildings or in schoolhouses with the barest of necessities. They dream of someday having a building they can call their own. You can help make this dream come true for them. For $2500, a post frame structure with a steel roof and open sides can be built. They would be overjoyed and exceedingly grateful for this gift from the church here. This would be a great opportunity for a youth group to become involved with a mission project, or possibly your church would like to reach out to their brothers and sisters in Ghana. You can be blessed by being a blessing.

Where there is a need, there is a call. If you see a need, God may be calling you
There are numerous ways you can be a part of this ministry and if God is laying it upon your heart to become involved, we would enjoy hearing from you. God working through His church is what makes this ministry possible. Your prayers and financial support, as well as volunteers who go on short and long term mission trips truly ministers “unto the least of these.” For more information about this ministry, please email or call our office.
Many people with severe medical needs come to the mission for assistance. Work groups and ministry teams also go into remote villages to hold medical clinics.
We are able to help many with surgeries and treatment through the faithful giving of servants in the US and Canada who respond to the call of God to bless others.
Because of the great number of medical cases, LHIM is building a hospital/clinic near the orphanage site. The Good Samaritan Clinic is tentatively scheduled to open in early 2009. The vision is for teams of American doctors to volunteer their skills at this clinic.
Mission groups travel to Ghana for two week trips periodically every year to do construction work, village evangelism, medical clinics, as well as hospital and prison visitation. They are a great blessing to the native people and the ministry as they labor to bring the good news of the Gospel to the people in Ghana, Africa through the many open doors for ministry. If you would like to go to Ghana on a mission trip please email or call our office for more information.
