How would you feel If a vision you had invested in 17 years ago looked like it might come true? If an
answer to prayers you had prayed with fellow believers since 2001 was on the horizon? Through the REACH initiative, one of the global churches Christ Church will help fund is to be planted in Sogakope, Ghana, an urban area directly north of Accra, the bustling capital city of more than 2.3 M people. It’s particularly strategic because Islam has been building mosques nearby in recent years.
Almost an acre of land was purchased by a group of visionary church planters in 2001. It is well situated near a hospital and main road. Forty believers currently meet on the empty lot, under a makeshift tarp and pole shelter they set up every Sunday. With our help, International Needs Ghana (INGH) will be able to construct a modest building, with space for 300 adults, plus kids’ space, o ffice space and lavatories.
Locals will have “skin in the game” through the practice of ABCD, Asset Based Community Development, the belief that regardless of poverty, God has given all His children assets and gifts to be invested in His kingdom work.
