Pastor Reeves grew up in the Gwee Town district of Totota, where there had never existed a school for the village children.

Upgrades to Kakata School
In 2013, the classrooms had no doorframes or doors, there was no electrical wiring, the closest water source was up the hill and the latrine was old.

Vision Grace School- early days
After our providential meeting at Kakata City Hall, greeting his wife Hawah and children, I knew something important was taking place. Pastor Reeves had accomplished much with almost no resources, but with a little financial assistance, his fledgling school would mature and multiply.
Getting Started
In Fall of 2011, while waiting for a meeting to begin at Kakata City Hall, I met a group of polite, well-behaved children. I inquired as to their parents. Pastor Reeves stepped forward, as several of the children were his. I asked, “Do you need some school supplies?” He quickly answered, “Yes, I have a small a school and need supplies.”
Thus began our friendship and partnering in ministry.
[Tragically, a few months later, Hawah, Pastor Reeves’ beloved wife, was struck by a vehicle on the street and perished, leaving behind a grieving husband and young children.]
