Founder / Co-Founder
Mr. Vagheni Jerome Kakule and Ms. Rehema Paola
G. Mangaza are husband and wife. Both are from the Democratic Republic of Congo. In
In 2017, they returned to the Congo and live in Beni in North Kivu where they found that
there were many orphans, widows, and the needy left to suffer because of insecurity,
wars, and rape. Having completely changed their lifestyle, this couple has in their hearts
the love of helping those people who have lived for decades without care. These
orphaned and abandoned infants live without shelter and care, their lives become a
nightmare, and die without any assistance. To change their way of life, this couple
decided to live there to take care of these orphans, children abandoned by their parents
or their family and these young and raped women. This couple wants to give these
children the chance to grow up and become tomorrow's leaders with potential dreams.
Having lived for several years in Europe and in the United States of America, they were
able to compare the life and the evolution of survival of the children of
these countries to the children living in the Congo, they decided to return to their country
of origin to help these children flourish like other children in the world.
Mangaza has had this dream for a very long time that she would one day bring change
for her people who desperately need help. Having experience in this area, she started
to help in many areas, as you can read from what is written above. She started since
2000 helping others.
Executive Director
Constance has provided spiritual leadership, direction, and mentorship to many
women in ministry, the marketplace, the city of Charlotte, and the surrounding areas
through prophetic prayer and counseling. In addition,
Constance started a local Fort Mill Aglow Lighthouse over which she presides.
Over seven years ago, Constance started a business to share
her passion for the Gospel in a non-threatening way through fashionable
accessories and apparel. Through this business and other exposure, she has
ministered and encouraged persons of all ages, “different tongues, tribes, and
nations.” The Lord has equipped her with great influence in multi-generations. He
uses her to build others through helping them to recognize their God-given purpose/
and or destiny. Her business model has a “giving back” mandate. A portion of the
proceeds from the business is applied to a featured non-profit organization.
As a marketplace minister, Constance states, one of the most rewarding
experiences is ministering to others who may not happen to stumble upon a church
and see their lives impacted. She needs to spread the Gospel largely as
a living example of Christ Jesus (The Anointed One).

as a children's ministry leader and worked as a volunteer with a ministry that helped the
inner-city youth who were involved in gangs and whose families had lost hope and didn’t
have means to support their children.
The ministry that is Christ Centered (One 7 Ministry) brought hope, taught these
children(Catholics, Muslims, Christians, Hispanics, Americans, Africans) that they can
all live and work and accomplish their goals and that God loves them, and brought
resources to the family. After moving to Vermont Sheila began to work as a caregiver
and later received her nurse assistance license and worked as an LNA for UVN Medical

“I’ve also
have a passion for helping those who are in need. I like to use my past to
help others so that they will not make the same mistakes I’ve made and or lead them in
the right direction.”
Sheila's faith is what gives her strength to keep going no matter what may come her way
and she also believes in going above and beyond for others even when no one is looking.
