Divine intervention

Prior to my first trip to Ghana, I had been attending Lighthouse Chapel in Milton Keynes, UK. The humility of both Episcopal Sister Dr Leonora-Jamie Hyde and Dr Peter Hyde impressed me and I felt very comfortable in their company.

Some weeks after my return from Ghana, on 8 Jan 2016, I was working in London and at short notice had to return to Milton Keynes for an urgent appointment. At this point in my journey I was uncertain if I would return to Ghana. I was still processing what I had seen and experienced there and felt disturbed and confused by the severity of the poverty and the disabilities I had witnessed.

On the way to my appointment I had to pass through a market where I bumped into Dr Leonora and Dr Peter, who told me that they were relocating to Asia in 2 days’ time. They asked about my trip and Dr Leonora remarked that when God places something into your heart through a vision, you are given an assignment and all will be well. Her words gave me confidence and convinced me that I should return to Ghana. I know if it had not been for this unexpected meeting with Dr Leonora and her late husband Dr Peter I may not have returned to Ghana. As a result of her words that day so many children have benefitted; not only in Ghana, but also Nigeria, Kenya, and Tanzania. On behalf of all the children and their families I thank you. I believe this was a Divine Intervention.

Ghana Divine Intervention

In 2010, a few weeks after I started attending a Ghanaian church, I had a vision that I was surrounded by Black children.

By 2015, I was planning to take a trip to Ghana to visit some orphanages in Accra and Kumasi.

Then, ten days before I was due to travel, I was alerted to watch a television
documentary about disabled children in Ghana. The programme described Ghana as one of the worst places in the world to live with disability – but featured the work of The Physically-Challenged Action Foundation (PCAF) rehabilitation training centre in Offinso and The Orthopedic Training Centre (OTC) in Nsawam.  This documentary was my first introduction to the work of the founder of the PCAF, Mr Barimah Antwi. I contacted him, and he invited me to visit his centre as part of my upcoming trip to Ghana. 

A two-hour visit to PCAF – and ten minutes in his company – changed my life
forever. 

In those two hours, I was surrounded by more than fifty children with all forms of disability the likes of which I had never witnessed in the UK. However, I instantly knew that this was the vision of five years earlier.   I returned eight times to that centre.
 
In 2019, I visited the OTC, I was greeted on arrival by an American lady who I
instantly recognised as someone who had appeared in the 2015 documentary. Then, for me, everything fell into place - I now realised that the television documentary and the advice to watch it was Divine Intervention, which all lead to me meeting and working alongside Mr Barimah and to me forging a strong bond and working relationship with Sister Elizabeth Newman.

In 2021 Sister Elizabeth contacted me again and we explored how best we could support children needing medical procedures to allow them to walk without pain and discomfort. A small community group called GIHOC was established to raise funds and by July 2024, thirty children had benefitted from procedures to correct bowed legs, to perform amputations, to fit prosthetic limbs and to treat hydrocephalus.
