FUNDING

A charitable organization needs cash in order to carry out it’s mission. That is why TWW seeks funding through 2 main streams: (1) Donations, and (2) Businesses which we operate. A minimum of 10% of net profits from TWW’s businesses will be channeled back in to TWW for the purpose of fulfilling TWW’s Mission Statement.

Our ministry divisions are funded by both of the above “streams".

TWW/SVR currently operates several businesses. At the present time, these businesses are managed by Sandi Laufenberg Bekoe.

1. The Great African Connection (GAC)– this is an import company which imports drums and other artifacts from Africa to sell here in the States. Some sales are generated via the Internet through E-bay and the GAC website:

2.  Ladysword Productions – This is a computer consulting firm managed by Sandi Bekoe. Ladysword’s informational materials can be found at:

OUR HISTORY

SVR Ministries started out in 1997 as Sonshine Valley Ranch, Inc., a Christian summer camp ministry in planning, with a vision to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to children from all economic backgrounds.

Our first summer of camp in Wisconsin was in 2000. That year,
Christ Harvests the Nations (CHNM) in Ghana contacted us and offered
to send workers to help us.

Though the sending of workers turned out to not be feasible,
God had other plans. A wonderful friendship developed and Sandi
ended up travelling for her first visit in Nov. of 2000.

While there, land was given to SVR, and many aspects of ministry
visions and hopes were FULFILLED and also MORE LIGHT WAS SHED on
other aspects. In addition, God seemed to drop a supernatural
LOVE for Africa in Sandi's heart.

So she longed to return - and that she did. After 3 weeks in 2000, she
returned with a team of 7 in June of 2001.

Just before leaving for Ghana, she heard the call to go and not turn back... After 2-1/2 months, seeing, that more preparation was needed before a longer stay, she returned to finish her degree with hopes in her heart of returning to Africa.

In March of 2002, she returned again - this time to set up housekeeping right in Tema, Ghana.

She lived there for 5 months doing "tent-making" - which means she worked as a computer programmer while ministering at Bible Studies and church services on nights and weekends. During this time, God also blessed Sandi with a husband - a wonderful man of God from Ghana - James Kofi Bekoe. They were married in Ghana. They have now returned to the States with the goal of setting up a sound and secure base for SVR to operate from, -- and preparing for the longer stay in Ghana.

In January of 2003, SVR Ministries joined with The Winner's Ways, and come under official 501(c)3 status.

In 2007, Sandi went in to part time service, working from home in the States - to serve the Lord. Thus, she works to fulfill the visions and purposes the Lord has given her - under the name of SVR Ministries. She also works part time as a web developer with Ladysword Productions .
