This experience in West Africa promises to be life changing for those who will visit the continent for the first and life fulfilling for those who are participants in pursuing the great commission. The team will visit several cities throughout the nation and bring greetings from the African American church while proclaiming the eternal truths of the bible. The mission is visionary, evangelistic, and cultural. Answer to Prayer The relative stability of Ghana, while not perfect, stands in contrast to the fortunes of its many troubled regional neighbors. Ghana is an example of how a multi-ethnic and multi-faith nation in West Africa can remain largely at peace. Praise God for this and pray that peace might continue to set deeper roots. Challenge for Prayer The rocky first decades after independence finally gave way to sustained democratic rule in the 1990s. The solid education system and sensible constitution, both designed to be pan-ethnic, played strong roles in that process. While avoiding large-scale civil war and genocide, Ghana has still been witness to violence along both political and ethnic lines; no country is safe from human sinfulness. Some 47% of Ghana’s college-educated citizens live abroad, hampering Ghana’s development and prosperity. Pray that those in government might rule with righteousness and wisdom, seeking guidance from God and not from human philosophies or the spirits.
