What if a child had to walk 5–7 miles to school every day — sometimes crossing dangerous terrain — just for the opportunity to learn?

In this inspiring and emotional episode of the Fully Stoked Podcast, host Sarah Stokes sits down with Mercy Bediako Crawford and Susan Frances Sganga of Charismata Steward Ministries to discuss Mercy’s incredible journey from growing up in poverty in rural Ghana to helping build a school for children who desperately need access to education.

Mercy shares her powerful testimony of perseverance, entrepreneurship, faith, and resilience — including how she sold mangoes and firewood as a child to pay school fees, overcame immense hardship, and eventually founded a ministry focused on helping vulnerable communities in both Ghana and Union County, North Carolina.

Together, Mercy and Susan explain the mission behind Charismata Steward Ministries and the Atuna School Project, where children currently walk miles for education and families struggle with poverty and limited resources. They discuss the importance of education in breaking generational poverty, how communities can help, and what it means to truly serve others.
