Spiritual Landscape in Ghana
While the majority of Ghanaians would identify as Christian, there is a significant Muslim majority and it is on that community that much of our work is focussed. They live predominantly in the north of the country. There is significant Christian nominalism and there are churches which teach a very distorted version of the gospel.
Please pray
- For Fulbe families, where God has opened the way to build friendships through caring relationships, health teaching and discipling new believers. Pray for more opportunities for the Fulbe to come to know Jesus
- For children and young people, that they will come to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour and choose to follow him for a lifetime. Pray for Sports Friends coaches and trained children’s ministry leaders to be faithful in demonstrating God’s love to young people
- For the ministry to vulnerable women, that the women will be enabled through the training they receive in business and farming. May they hear, understand, and practise the biblical teaching they receive
- For Christians in business to realise and use the opportunities they have through their work to introduce people to Jesus, encourage people to follow him and impact the world
- For increasing links with local mission-minded congregations and individuals
