During a 2013 missions trip to West Africa, local non-profit, Women's Resurrection Ministry (WRM), helped bring electricity to a remote village in Ghana for the first time. Having rallied with government and city officials for over 17 years to bring power to poor communities in West Africa, WRM founder Cassandra Walker was excited to finally see their persistence pay off. "I want to see the people of Ghana have a better life and enjoy some of the comforts we have in America," she states. "I love to give and encourage others that are less fortunate."

Humanitarian developments such as this, allows people in remote villages to build businesses, store food to feed their family and become self-sustaining. The feat is fitting for the organizations upcoming Women's Resurrection Breakfast theme, "A Hand Up, Not a Handout." In addition to expanding access to electricity in remote villages in Ghana, proceeds from the fundraising breakfast will benefit additional humanitarian efforts such as feeding programs for children and elderly, church planting and transportation in the village.

Women's Resurrection Ministry (WRM) is a non-profit organization based in San Bernardino County, with a focus on international missions projects. During the course of 19 years, WRM has provided scholarships for local students, developed feeding programs, built education and church facilities, and provided medical supplies for rural villages in Ghana, West Africa.

Elder Cassandra Walker, a member of The Centre, founded Women's Resurrection Ministry with encouragement from Pastor Alan Rosenberg of Christian Missionary Alliance Church. Elder Walker's passion is to see that the Great Commission is fulfilled through local and foreign missions. WRM's goal is to continue to collaborate with businesses, ministries and the community, to raise money and garner resources to continue humanitarian assistance abroad.
