The vision for Gateway of Hope, Inc was born out of the desire of Jojo and Barbara to affect the society positively through the love of God. The missionary endeavor had always been there since their encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ during high school and they have jointly been involved in many church and community efforts. In a special way, the vision was also fostered by the exposure in Tulsa, OK during the medical residency of Dr. Barbara Entsuah at In His Image Residency which took her to many places including Kazakhstan.
They are leaders in their local Church; Judah, in Occoee, Florida. Jojo and Barbara Entsuah have been married for over 35 years and have 3 adult children –Akua, Afua, and Ebo.
