COVID caused a great loss to the school: village elders and children passed away in great numbers. Many teachers and faculty members died, and the students were not able to attend school. As part of Forgiven’s efforts, a team is planning to travel to Ghana to see what relief efforts we can provide. Enjoy the most recent photos of the school inside of the village outside of Accra, Ghana, West Africa.

5785 The Year of WINDOWS OF OPPORTUNITIES
The year 5785 is symbolized by the Hebrew letter “hey” (ה), the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The shape of the letter resembles an open window or an open space, inviting us to look through and see things from God’s perspective.
We are being called to return to a spacious and grace-filled relationship with our Heavenly Father, where His love, provision, and purpose flow freely into every area of our lives, bringing both restoration and expansion. I encourage you to literally start looking out the window, seeking the voice of our Father even in creation. He is speaking, and He wants to reveal wisdom and truth through what you see with your eyes.
In 5785, many will begin to see God’s plans with greater clarity, experiencing revelation that opens new possibilities for their lives, relationships, and callings.
God is shining His light into the areas of your life where there has been confusion, darkness, or misunderstanding, bringing divine revelation to guide and direct you into a future filled with hope. He sees the ways you’ve been mistreated, and He desires to set you free from every form of bondage, fear, and stronghold. In this season, God is going to reveal hidden truths, expose lies, and give you the understanding you need to walk in perfect alignment with His will for your life.
It’s important to remember that we are called to love our enemies, but that doesn’t mean we’re required to accommodate or appease them. When God instructs us to separate from someone or something, it’s vital that we follow His direction. Jesus Himself set clear boundaries, never running after those who walked away but remaining focused on His mission.
Likewise, when God leads us into a spacious place, it demands our obedience and trust, even when it’s challenging.
As you open your heart to the Holy Spirit’s guidance, you can expect breakthroughs in areas where you once felt stuck. God is going to clear the path before you. The fogginess from a past season will be replaced with clarity as King Jesus brings peace and purpose to your life. You are God’s child and He cares about your heart. He is going to show you the way!
1 John 3:1 (NIV)
“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”

A Message from Melonie Pichon…ROMANS 13:11
This is the best time to experience Salvation! During the past ten years the church has instructed us concerning living Debt-free (Malachi 3:10), Walking in Favor (Psalm 5:12…favor is fair!), Spiritual Warfare (II Corinthians 10:4), Decree and Declare (Job 22:28), the Power of Tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and the list goes on and on. Hear my heart…all of these teachings are in line with the Word of God. I believe many of us are a bit more matured because of these teachings.
We have now embarked upon a time when the Church has to get us back to the basics, SALVATION. Some will argue that we still have time. But we are closer to experiencing the return of the Lord than ever! Every time we leave our homes we should have a made up mind to tell others about Jesus!
Have you considered making an intentional effort to offer Christ to everyone you meet in 2017? Yes, even the ones that make their way under your last nerve! It doesn’t require much to introduce some or remind others that Jesus is the Answer for the World Today (the late Andre Crouch).
It’s as easy as A, B, C. Accept ; Believe ; Confess
Romans 10:8-10 But what does it say? “THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART”—that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. For the Scripture says, “WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.”
Say this Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, forgive me of my sins, come into my heart, create in me a clean (pure) heart and renew a right (steadfast) spirit within me. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord. I believe in my heart that He died and God raised Him from the dead to secure my eternal salvation. Because of my belief, I’m saved!
