Board Members ~
JOHN ESSIEN:
President / Chairman / Director
" It's my dream for every child to have an education in Africa ... to enable them
to read the Word of God."
I am from Ghana, Africa and have been blessed by God to do Kingdom work for Him in my country of birth. Born into a Christian family, I was not always following the Lord. He had a purpose for my life and as I turned back to Him, I discoved what that purpose was!
It's not easy surviving in a third world country, but all things are possible with God!
TARA L. ESSIEN:
Secretary / Director
" It is the prayer of my heart to be in God's perfect will ... and for these children to know the Love of God."
I was born in Reno, Nevada and now reside with my husband and our "fur-babies" in Escondido, CA. I excepted Jesus and my Lord and Savior in the year 2000 ... Met the man God had for me, in 2004! John and I are honored to not only know what God has called us to do for Him on this very Earth, but, to allow God to direct our paths in completting our assignment for Him.
PASTOR ROBERT M. FLAKE
"PLR" Pastor / Director
Hello Everyone! My name is Robert and I live in coastal Ocenaside, California. It fits in good with my life style because I like body boarding and fishing. I was born
2-17-1964 here in beautiful San Diego. I'm single and live alone ...well not really alone! There's my cat "Pookie". That's right I'm a cat person!
"Miracle" is the best way to describe me. Born of the Spirit March 5,2005, I went from serving myself to serving Jesus. The difference is like night and day! Literaly, I stepped out of dark and into the Light. God has used me as a servant with "Ignite Church", where I met John and Tara ...
Also with "Kids on the Move" youth group at The Movement Church. Currently I attend San Diego Christian Center in Escondido, CA.
I have been blessed to be part of two PLR Missions to Ghana and am really looking forward to what's next!
PASTOR JOE A. BILDSTEIN:
Advisory Board Member
"It is truly awesome that these children get a chance to learn skills that lead to vocational school AND learn about
and give praise to the one who made all this possible ... Jesus Christ! Virtues in life like "PLR" will draw these children and
their children, all the closer to Christ!
