Adopt a Highway
We partner with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) and their “Adopt-a-Highway” program where we agree to pick up litter at least two times a year, for three years, over a two-mile stretch of highway. Our two-mile stretch is located from our church on Smith’s Neck Road (Ste Rte 665) to Carrollton Boulevard (US-17). In return, VDOT provides trash bags, vests, important safety information, and highway signs.
Time Out
Time Out is a FREE family service provided through the partnership of HWWC for our community and the surrounding area. This ministry started as a result of a vision from our Lead Pastor regarding abused children from stress-filled home environments. All parents need a break sometimes and we are here to provide a safe and loving environment so that they can have a worry-free break. All of our workers are background checked and there is always a first aid and CPR-certified volunteer on-site for the safety of the children.

State
Since 1992, Hope Charitable Services has developed a history of helping the poor both through its international ministry and local engagement with the inner-city community of Portsmouth, Virginia.
Through our Urban Outreach Center, we provide hope, help, and healing to those affected by poverty through our holistic and practical direct service programs. We understand that truly affecting change in the lives of at-risk children requires strengthening struggling families and building communities while empowering children to succeed.
Through our Charitable Supply Chain, we distribute resources from our warehouse to those affected by poverty and disaster. We also provide logistical support and services for relief and recovery exercises. This is done through our direct service programs in our inner-city community and through partnerships with multiple churches and nonprofit organizations across our region, in rural poverty pockets, migrant camps, inner cities, and Native American reservations across the United States.
Through our Sanctuary of Hope, we minister to the spiritual needs of those that we serve in our inner-city neighborhood that are looking to Christianity for a faith solution. As a diverse community of Christ-Followers, we welcome those suffering from the constant grind of poverty and hardship. We are a safe place where they can believe and belong. We are not simply a place where the poor are served, but a place where they can serve. We are a church for the poor, by the poor, with the poor, and of the poor. We are a place where misfits fit.

Hope and Abundant Life Ministries, and AGCF
Together with his wife Grace, Dr. Ayo Adewuya has founded the Hope and Abundant Life Ministries. This is where local pastors are trained and educated to go into the areas in the Philippines and preach the gospel and set up new vibrant life-giving churches. These pastors are provided with an educational opportunity as well as additional resources to help them minister to their area in an effective way. Currently, this ministry has planted 14 new churches with native-trained pastors that are reaching the harvest.
They also have a ministry called, Amazing Grace Christian Foundation. AGCF is an international charitable organization whose primary purpose is to act as an agent of positive change in the lives and communities of underprivileged women and children, primarily in Southeast Asia (Philippines), Western Africa (Nigeria) and Southern Africa (Kenya and Zambia). AGCF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that aims to empower women and children in need.
We aim to empower poverty-stricken children through education, believing that education is the best investment to end generational cycles of poverty. Relationships are a critical element in AGCF's work. Through relationships with a vast network of volunteers, professionals, and community leaders, we tirelessly work to serve the people with our programs. Our volunteers include physicians, dentists, teachers, accountants, and students. Our holistic approach enables us to discover and respond to each community's unique causes of poverty. We then work alongside community members to find solutions that would work for the needs of their underprivileged women and children. By demonstrating God's love through our work, we hope people will experience life fully.
Since its inception in 2008, AGCF has served approximately 10,000 women and children. We work in 15 sites in Central Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao in the Philippines. In West Africa, we work primarily in Ekiti, Ondo and Oyo states, and in Southern Africa, we partner with several organizations in Kenya and Zambia. The Amazing Grace Christian Foundation has a dynamic and devoted international team, distinguished by its commitment to volunteerism and led by the visionary Grace Adewuya.
With a profound calling from God, Grace established AGCF in 2007, channeling her extensive missionary background into a transformative force for change. Having dedicated 18 impactful years to missionary service in the Philippines, Grace’s compassion and insight catalyzed her mission to address pressing needs. While living in the Philippines, Grace identified a crucial gap in underprivileged communities – access to healthcare and sustainable development opportunities for vulnerable women and children. She pivoted her focus, steering her efforts towards providing essential health services and equipping these communities with the tools to foster self-sufficiency.

Bread of Life
Bread of Life is a non-profit, Christian organization. We consider it to be our privilege and our obligation to help the orphans, the widows, the unborn, the homeless children, and needy families.
(Matthew 25:40, James 1:27, Acts 11:29, Proverbs 18:17, Ezekiel 16:69.) We are committed to sharing the love of God in the following ways:
To the orphans, the unborn, homeless children and needy families, by being their voice to the world so that they will not be forgotten. In 2000 we began working with the needy families and poor children of Brosteni. The needs in this town were overwhelming. With the blessings and provisions of God, we purchased a large, three-story building in Brosteni in April of 2002. After many months of renovation, the orphanage was opened and is now the home for seventy children.
We also run a Soup Kitchen in Brosteni and 51 Feeding Centers scattered in villages around Romania where we feed 2500+ children. To fellow Christians in Romania, by relief shipments, Bible and literature distribution, and encouragement. To the non-Christians, by demonstrating God’s unconditional love through relief efforts and projects, regardless of the race, religion, or culture. To our supporters and co-workers, by lives of integrity, self-sacrifice, and faithfulness.
Bread of Life began in the US in 2001. A mirror organization was founded in Romania in 2001, receiving an NGO authorization from the Romanian government. Since our work began in Romania, we have brought in over eighty ocean container shipments and numerous semi-truck deliveries from Western Europe. These containers were filled with relief supplies for needy families, the leper village, homeless children, and for the orphanage that we operate in Brosteni.
Wayne and Phillys Wozniak
Wayne and Phyllys Wozniak first went to the mission field in the early 1980s. They have served in the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Colombia, working with developing Bible colleges in all three countries.
In April of 2000, they helped re-open the Church of God Bible college in Peru. During their eight years as directors, a total of 150 students graduated from the three-year program, and 35 churches were planted by the students. Today most of these graduates remain fruitful in ministry.
In 2008, they moved to Colombia to plant Berea Bible College. They purchased an old chicken farm and converted it into a beautiful Bible school. Eleven years later the school has produced 80 graduates who have planted 30 churches in Colombia. Most of these graduates continue in ministry today pastoring healthy churches.
In 1999, the Lord called us to leave a pastorate in Virginia to serve as missionaries in Peru. God even prepared our teenage daughters to relocate overseas. Throughout our ministry, we established 4 Bible schools in 4 countries. In April of 2000, we helped re-open the Church of God Bible college in Peru. During our eight years as directors, a total of 150 students graduated from the three-year program, and 35 churches were planted by the students. Today most of these graduates remain fruitful in ministry. In 2008, we moved to Colombia to plant Berea Bible College. We purchased an old chicken farm and converted it into a beautiful Bible school. Eleven years later the school has produced 80 graduates who have planted 30 churches in Colombia. Most of these graduates continue in ministry today pastoring healthy churches. We continue to teach and preside over the Bible colleges in Colombia and Peru. We also raise support for both colleges. We believe the best way to fulfill the great commission is to train national workers. After all a native Peruvian can reach another Peruvian better, faster, and more cost effectively than anyone else can. Our ministry primarily focuses on training national leaders to plant New Testament churches in strategic cities in South America. Today there are 75 churches in Peru and Colombia that were planted by our Bible school graduates. - Wayne and Phillys Woziak
