Young at Heart
Members of our congregation also roll
up their sleeves and donate their time on the construction site with
Habitat for Humanity to
help eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from Cabarrus County.
Our Pioneer Youth Group has collected school
supplies to fill book packs for AIDs orphans in Cameroon, Africa.
These items were presented to Abong Ngranui-Fankam, who along with
Yvonne Tiandem-Adamou, founded
A Place of Hope, a non
profit, public, tax exempt charitable organization to promote, assist
and maintain a close working relationship with all individuals and
agencies interested in the welfare of children who are affected by
HIV/AIDS in Cameroon, Africa. Their goal is to provide backpacks
and school supplies to 100,000 AIDS orphans by the year 2015.
The organization's vision is to build and maintain a life center that
will provide both outpatient and inpatient medical services,
vocational skills and career guidance, emergency residential services,
counseling and spiritual services to those affected by HIV/AIDS. You
