The Vision of Pizza Ranch is "To Glorify God by Positively Impacting the World". One way Pizza Ranch accomplishes this Vision is through a set of approved ministry partners across the globe. One of those ministry partners is TESFA (https://tesfa.org/).

TESFA means "hope" in the Amharic language. The organization works in Ethiopia, and they provide hope and changed lives through the support of local schools, literacy development, and a vital feeding program.

Recently, a graduating class of Pizza Ranch managers who attended a 4-day educational workshop in Orange City, IA at the company's headquarters really made an impact on the world. They poured together the financial resources to sponsor one student for an entire year in the childhood school program. Within just a couple days, the class was sent a photo of the student (her name is Betelehem) from the TESFA organization, along with other information regarding what they are providing via sponsorship. Lives are truly being changed through this program. Just think: perhaps little Betelehem will one day be a doctor or nurse and save lives. Or perhaps she will now become a political or social leader and help improve the lives of millions. Maybe she will start a similar organization that will provide education and hope for others. All of this might have been deemed "impossible" without TESFA providing the education program that can help encourage her further into life.

Thank you Pizza Ranch managers for stepping up! And thank you TESFA for being an outstanding ministry partner for Pizza Ranch.
