YoDad's Arrived in Ghana!

God still moves, He still works miracles & He ALWAYS follows through!

Hey beloved friends!

Our 2026 started with a whirlwind (snow and ice-storm to be more exact). But I’ll share more about that experience in another post…

As most of you who have followed the YoDad - Your Kingdom Footprint story, may already know; Ryan and I were brought together in what we can only describe as supernatural. YoDad’s was an idea, a download from God. A shoe to fund a mission. We thought the shoe would take off and we would be abled to pour thousands of dollars into missions. To help those in need in places where there is a huge need and we started in my (Chané’s) home country, South Africa.

Well, God, using YoDads through us, was able to bless sooo many people in need in South Africa. We prayed that whatever amount we were able to donate would be an answer to someone’s prayer… and it was! Time and time again! Many of these testimonies were very sensitive and we decided to keep them private.

We never once considered that the shoes themselves were the mission all along! God has such an incredible way of showing up. As we declared the Deuteronomy 11:24 over and over, we could never have dreamed of the miraculous way God brought us together with Fred and Opi (Souls of Hope). And that the YoDad shoes will one day bless, encourage and empower the very feet of those who need them most!

“Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.”

Deuteronomy 11:24

Mid January we received great news from our new friends, Fred and Opi (Souls of Hope). The YoDad shoes had finally arrived in Ghana, Africa. They had just started to identify where the need for shoes were and had started sorting and donating.

I just followed up with Opukua-Opi Mamaa and here is what she had to say about their mission to Ghana:

“During our recent visit to Ghana, we had the privilege of donating hundreds of shoes - each inscribed with “Your Kingdom Footprint” - which we purchased from Ryan and his wife, Chané. These shoes were distributed across non‑denominational organizations, churches, selected groups, schools, and individuals from all walks of life.

Words can hardly capture the joy we witnessed - smiles that lit up faces and gratitude that overflowed from hearts. We were prayed for by ministers, poured into by many, and deeply blessed by every hand extended toward us.

We emphasized one thing above all: that every time a pair of these shoes is worn, the name of Jesus and His Kingdom will be proclaimed and established.

God has shown us extraordinary goodness through this mission and the generosity that fuels it. Our hearts are stirred to continue this work and expand its reach. We invite you to partner with us through Soles of Hope, so together we can impact even more lives.”

Upon receiving these photos and videos from Fred and Opi, Ryan and I were moved to tears. God has done exactly what He set out to do with YoDad shoes! We are in awe of how God exceeded our wildest dreams and expectations for this part of our adventure. Where we thought we had failed… He knew exactly what the plan was for these shoes.

What an absolute honour and blessing to have played a part in this.

We will share some more of the wonderful video testimony on our socials, be sure to like and follow us on Instagram and Facebook, your support is deeply appreciated.

Blessings and love to you all.
