Peniel was initiated by Pastor Philip Asamoah from Ghana and is supported by a circle of friends from various churches. Since 2004 Carol Schavet from the USA lives and works in Maase ( Ghana ) and supports the project. Philip Asamoah lives with his family in London. He is a Pastor and his wife is a teacher. Born in Ghana , the needs of his home country have never left him. Therefore every year he spends time in his home country to advance the planning and implementation of the project and to encourage and empower the people to carry out the necessary work.

So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.“
