Ghana

The Ghanaian (pronounced “Guh-nay-yan”) people are among the most friendly and hospitable people you will ever meet. They speak English, although sometimes their accent can be difficult to understand. They also speak a language called Twi as well as other African dialects.

The upper class in Ghana is comparable to our middle class.  Most are not in the middle class. They are very family-oriented and children are expected to get a good job to support their parents. The land is made up of red dirt, many trees, and small homes.

The country is spiritually surrounded. Most have heard the gospel many times but still may not know God personally. There are spiritual sayings on almost every car and building. It is very cultural to say you are a Christian. Many, minimally, need assurance and confidence in their salvation.

The campus ministry in Ghana has a scope of 63 campuses with a presence on five of those campuses. Their vision is to start movements to reach every student in Ghana.

It is very easy to get into spiritual conversations and almost everyone will give you some sort of response indicating a desire to grow. A conversation can begin by letting students know you’ve come from America to talk to Ghanaians about Jesus. Most students have grown up knowing about Jesus, but may not have a personal relationship with Him. 99% of the students we talked with in the past were unsure of their salvation. If the student generation in Ghana could realize the security they have in knowing Christ, great freedom would come to proclaim Him to the whole world!
