Meet Bernard Xorlasi Fianku

With over a decade of management experience in children’s organizations and ministries, Bernard joined Beacon House as Program Director in 2008. His responsibilities include supervision of historical research of children’s cases and seemingly endless paperwork in order to successfully cooperate with Social Services and the Ghana Courts. He often is responsible for planning and supervising outreach excursions that serve to bring aid to remote areas and assist in finding homes for abandoned children.  He is involved is all areas of Beacon House management and serves as Director in Romana Testa’s absence.

Bernard loves Ghana and has a passion for serving God in reaching the needy, the abused, and the forgotten children here.  His years of education in specialized training in clinical and Christian counseling, abuse and addiction counseling, organizational leadership and working towards a  B.S. Degree from University of Legon suits him well as program director.

He and his wife, Irene are also fostering a 3 year old from Beacon House with the hopes of someday making the little boy their son.  Faith in action is a fitting description of how Bernard lives his life.
