CONCERN MISSION - GHANA
Partner with Local Missionaries in Ghana




In West Africa with a southern coast along the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Guinea, Ghana is multi-ethnic and religiously diverse. While 62.2 percent of the population identifies as Christian, the Muslim population is 22.4 percent and growing due to Islamist influences and funding from the Middle East.
Concern Mission International trained and sponsored Pastor Paul Adu Gyemfi, a native of Ghana is involved in church planting, discipleship, literacy programs, weekly evangelistic outreaches, and youth camps, among others. At one recent kid's camp, 50 children put their faith in Christ; at another, 25 children gave their lives to the Lord. The Ghana Mission needs funding and prayers for volunteer workers to accommodate hundreds of children attending these evangelistic meetings.




One local ministry’s evangelistic radio program reaches thousands of people, including many Muslims. The gospel also reaches people through home visits and open-air events.
Native missionaries also elevate the living standards of families and entire communities through job skills and agricultural training. Sewing, hair-dressing, and small-trading skills help raise incomes and keep families intact, and those who are benefiting also hear the good news of eternal life in Christ. One ministry saw 10 widows and disabled persons put their faith in Christ as they learned job skills during one three-month span. At the same time, 23 orphans under the workers’ care also put their faith in Christ.
It is not unusual to see children wandering on the streets, many of them with only one parent who has not been able to obtain work. Pastor Paul and local missionaries engage these children’s families and help pay for the kids’ education, and assistance is sought for this and the workers’ monthly needs amid widespread poverty.
