Gift of Hope, ACCi
Ty Williams and Keith Keller                                                            Bobby Welch and Brian Goessling 

This year, the partners of ACCi – Bobby Welch and Keith Keller challenged the ACCi staff in our 2nd
annual invitation nominating a worthy cause for consideration as a recipient of the Gift of Hope.

In years past, we have donated dollars, time & skills to Restoration Academy, Safehouse of Shelby County, Sav-A-Life, Operation Christmas Child and other
organizations over the years.

A few were nominated this year in the areas of:

  • ministry
  • non-profit
  • missionary, etc.

Upon selection, we invited the recipient to our office to meet our team and be presented with their Gift of Hope check.
This year, the selected Non-Profit recipient is Restoration Academy.

The academy was started in 1988 by Dr. Anthony Gordon and Sharon Gordon.  They founded the school in response to divisive forces such as crime and violence that had ensnared many of the young people at his church and in his community.  God used the Gordons to provide a quality, private education to predominantly lower income families.  The believed that every child should at least have access to quality education.   We invite you to learn more about Restoration Academy and ways to get involved with their school.
