Come to our Thanksgiving Day 2012 Fun Run !!!
-->
We have been praying for expansion of our free primary care clinic and had decided to go straight to the top and see if there was a building with adjacent land that we could build a cancer center on as there is currently no cancer care anywhere in the country. To our amazement I was told by the First Lady that I was the answer to her prayer.
After 3 meetings with the First Lady and 4 meetings with the former Vice President we went to work preparing the building with painting, cleaning, and renovation to the ceiling, electrical and water. On Friday, Nov. 2 all parties, the Minister of Health, the First Lady, the former Vice President and myself, Lynn Pelton-President and founder of GGM had signed off on a 20 year Memorandum of Understanding with 1.5 acres of land available for a future cancer center.
I would like to invite you
and your family to join us for our third annual, Thanksgiving Day “Beat the
Bird” 5K Fun Run/Walk at the Larson Lake Blueberry Farm benefiting the 501c3
that we founded in 2007, Greatest Goal Ministries USA www.ggmusa.org
Can’t join us, please consider sponsoring
the bird for $25.00 by heading to our web site and clicking on the donate

I just returned from 6 weeks in Sierra Leone and it was an incredible trip. Jerry Staples, Sierra Leone in country Operations Manager and myself, had arranged a meeting with Her Excellency, H.E. Sia Nyama Koroma , the First lady of the Republic of Sierra Leone.

3 days later
were given this building by the former Vice-President of Sierra Leone, Mr. Solomon
Berewa. The 24 bed hospital had been
built in memory of his late wife in 2006.
It had never been opened.
