SIM Ghana

We want to see a witness to Christ’s love where he is least known in Ghana, disciples of Jesus expressing God’s love in their communities, and Christ-centred churches spreading the gospel in Ghana and beyond.

Key Ministries

  • Outreach and discipleship amongst the Sisaala, Dagomba and the Fulbe people.
  • Equipping the church for ministry to children and young people through Sports Friends ministry and training of children’s ministry leaders.
  • Intentionally developing local church leaders to be equipped for missional ministry through ongoing leadership training.
  • Equipping the church for training Christians in missional business and work.
  • Mobilising local churches for mission within Ghana and beyond.
  • Leadership and services

Spiritual Landscape in Ghana

The population of Ghana is said to be around 70% Christian. However, a significant proportion of people who identify as Christians do so in name only and prosperity teaching is endemic. The strength of Islam is growing and what had previously been a strong religion of Northern Ghana, is now strong throughout Ghana with an estimated 20% of the population identifying as Muslim.

Communities Where Christ is Least Known

Sisaala, Dagomba, and Fulbe

SIM Ghana works among the Dagomba, Fulbe and Sisaala peoples. All identify as Muslim and also hold strongly to their traditional roots. SIM works with local churches to make disciples of the Lord Jesus in these communities. Working closely with the church, we are intentional in training, developing, and strengthening local church leadership within these communities. With nearly three quarters of the country being under the age of 35, SIM Ghana has a particular focus on young adults and children amongst these. Sports Friends ministries, training in children’s ministry, educational support and teaching and discipleship of young people all focus on this important group.

Please pray

  • For Fulbe families, that God will continue to open door sto build friendships through caring relationships and discipling new believers. Pray for more opportunities for the Fulbe to come to know Jesus. Pray too for funds to address some of the immediate needs such as clean water. 
  • For children and young people, that they will come to know Jesus as Lord and Saviour and be discipled to maturity. 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. Praise God that they are beginning to share what they have learned by leading Bible studies with other women.   
  • For the Ghanaian church, that they will be mobilised for mission to the nations. Pray particularly for students that they will consider taking their skills – professional and business to places where the Gospel is no known.
