Hello Everyone, I'm Randal German, an ordained Minister through Restoration Church and Light House Ministries. My wife, Susan, and I lead the overseas Mission's Work at Restoration Church. I would like to remind everyone that even minimal contributions can significantly impact others, so please don't hesitate to give small amounts. I'm reminded of Mark 12:42-44 : Then a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth less than a penny. Jesus called his followers to him and said, “This poor widow put in only two small coins. But the truth is, she gave more than all those rich people. They have plenty, and they gave only what they did not need.

We express gratitude for every donation and ensure that 100% of the funds are dedicated to supporting those in need. Our organization offers assistance to widows, orphans, and individuals requiring food aid. Moreover, we have an educational program that enables children to access education and procure necessary school supplies. The extent of donations received directly correlates with the number of children we can sponsor. I met my wife in Uganda, Africa during my inaugural mission trip, and we soon discovered a profound, divine connection. A divine connection is a relationship that God has created and it can have a significant impact on a person's life. Such a relationship can be life changing and inspire dreams, visions, and Godly desires.
