VanderWyst Beef Tallow
In late fall of 2025, Ade felt something so special stirring in her heart. She truly believed God was calling her to do something meaningful—to set a BGMC goal of $200 before the end of the year. The funds were being raised to help support a women’s clinic in Africa, and every time Ade heard stories of lives being changed through missions, her excitement and compassion grew even stronger.
As she prayed and thought about what she could do, Ade decided to make beef tallow lotion as a way to not only raise money, but to bring awareness to BGMC and the incredible work God was doing around the world. Her mom (Jamie) shared a simple informational post on Facebook with the product options Ade hoped to offer.
What happened next was nothing short of amazing.
The response was so overwhelming that in less than an hour and a half, her mom had to post again saying they could only take the orders that had already come in—because they were already running out of rendered tallow. It was clear that God was blessing Ade’s obedience in ways she never could have imagined.
Not only did Ade reach her goal…she far exceeded it. In just two short months, she was able to give an incredible $800 to BGMC.
This was the start of VandeWeyst Beef Tallow. Currently 10% of all income is given back to Ade's 2026 BGMC goal. She is excited to see what god's got planned next for her goals.
