Ghana
Strategic prayer
- Ghana has multiple ethnic groups and faiths, but it remains largely peaceful. Praise God! The education system and constitution brought together all ethnicities, and helped build a stable democracy. Pray that government leaders might seek guidance from God, and not from human philosophies or the spirits.
- Ghana enjoys a rich Christian tradition! Many newer churches emerged, and many traditional denominations have a vibrant spiritual life. When churches multiply quickly, doctrines can become confused. Ghana has the blessing of many training institutions. Pray for mature leaders for the Church. 63% of Ghanaians call themselves Christian, but only about 10% attend church regularly. Traditional African practices present the greatest challenge to Christians. Pray for a clear break from all bondage to charms and the occult, and pray for true liberty in Jesus.
- Islam has set out to conquer Ghana and is making serious headway. The number of Muslims has grown significantly through birthrates, immigration and conversion (especially Muslim men marrying non-Muslim women). Now, the majority of Muslims live in the seven non-Muslim southern regions.
