This summer, Ginger and Molly Wayde will travel to Ghana to help others and to meet a very special friend. The mother and daughter will get to see Tanko, a boy they've sponsored for years through Arm of Hope.

"We've seen him through elementary and high school. Now he's graduated," Ginger said. "We can't wait to meet him."

To raise funds for their trip, the Waydes are hosting a music fundraiser on Saturday, March 16, beginning at 7 p.m. It will be held at Hope Community Church, 1806 Harrisburg Ave., Mount Joy.

The evening will feature entertainment from The Wayde Family Dossier, featuring Wayde siblings Molly, Ruby, Bethany, Joel and Asher, as well as Ginger, Wonnie Good, Juanita Boger, Barb Haak and Nikki Good.

"The band is a mix of three generations - four, if you count the backup track we'll use of my grandmother playing," Ginger said, noting the band's name comes from an ad Ginger saw with the word "dossier," which means a file full of detailed information. "If there's one thing we have as a family, it's a lot of detailed information about music."

The concert will feature worship music, sacred/gospel songs, barbershop tunes, 1940s songs, country selections and more.

Desserts and beverages, including coffee, cocoa, tea and lemonade, will be available by donation. Attendees will receive a card explaining how they can support the group going to Ghana through online donations.

Ginger and Molly will travel to Accra, Ghana, for two weeks this summer with Arm of Hope. They will be part of a 16-member team that will minister to children in the slums of the community during weeklong camps.

"During the camps, we will be using the gifts that God has given us to support the team as they run camp," Ginger said. "While we're not exactly sure what that looks like yet, there might be some music and acting involved. We are especially excited to share the love of Jesus with these precious children, and I'm sure we will be blessed by them also."

Ginger and Molly need to collectively raise $7,000 to take the trip, and the concert is the first fundraiser they are holding. Donations from the concert will be shared among the team members who have helped with the event, Ginger said.

Participating in an Arm of Hope mission trip has been a goal of the pair for years. The ministry originated at their church, Hope Community Church, and this summer seemed like the perfect time to go since it's a milestone year for their sponsored child.

"We also have many friends who have gone in the past, and they share how life-changing the trip is," Ginger stated. "We both desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus and grow in being more aware of and available to others around us and across the globe."
