Ghana Updates – October 2025

WHOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT (CHE) TRAINING

We spent time with over 25 young men and women to get them exposed to the basics for how the Church can be involved in helping people get developed physically, emotionally, spiritually and economically. Through the lessons participants got to realized that God’s intention and provision is all geared at the whole person and not some aspects alone.

Some of the topics discussed include the Great Commission and the Great Commandment, Evangelism in a CHE program, God’s vision for Community, Worldview and Development, Comparing Relief and Development, Needs and Resources of the community, and defining good health, among others.

On the last day of the training participants had the following to say: “I now understand why we have seen little transformation in the lives of most of the people in my community as they only focus on the spiritual and leaving out other aspects of their lives.” “I never knew that we have abundant resources in our community which are unnoticed.” “All along I was thinking I am healthy but now I know that good health goes beyond the physical outlook.”

Participants left with the zeal to begin to put what they have learnt into practice by doing simple projects in their communities.

TRAINNING OF TRAINERS

Time was spent to assist Trainers who will intend to go and train Church Planters and Disciple Makers. Skills for training are very crucial especially when it comes to the Training of those who have the task of training Church Planters and Disciple Maker.

It was a great time of learning together and picking up basic skills on managing a training center and helping people develop generational thinking when it comes to reaching the unreached and getting the Gospel across to all people.

PRAYER NEEDS

• Pray for Samson as he goes to Sierra Leone to assist in facilitating two separate trainings.
• Pray for the upcoming trainings in three different regions of Ghana.
• Pray for all those persecuted for their faith in Christ that nothing will cause them to waiver in their faith.

Yours in His Vineyard
