GHANA

Ghana was originally a British colony. After independence, the increasingly prosperous economic and democratic political system made it a regional power in West Africa. There are about 30 million people in Ghana, covering various ethnic, linguistic and religious groups. Christians account for 70% of the population. In 2003, before joining the ROLCC family, Rev. Texford, now the senior pastor of ROLLC in Ghana, was visiting the Bay Area and came to ROLCC to attend the Sunday sermon. Afterward, ROLCC sent a short-term mission team to Ghana to visit Rev. Texford and his church in early 2004. They witnessed this church as a church full of love, although they did not have their own church building at that time, and they lacked many material needs, however the congregation, including the pastor, coworkers and fellows together built their church and spread the gospel. Therefore, in March 2004, ROLCC officially accepted Rev. Texford’s church as a daughter church. Currently, including the main worship place in the capital, Accra, they planted 18 branches throughout Ghana, and established schools for people in need. They actively spread the gospel of Jesus Christ to unidentified people in Ghana, Africa, and through the training of workers and the testimonies of congregation, they have extended the gospel and the church. Their vision is to spread the gospel to neighboring countries, and in 2020 they officially sent Rev. Kwarko to Mozambique, East Africa, to establish a branch. In this season full of difficulties and challenges, believe that God will prepare the way for his return. Just in 2024, they established the 21st branch church and sent Pastor Richard Kwasi Harrison to lead it. Thank the Lord, the Ghana branch currently has up to 1,700 people gathering every Sunday. We praise God that in 2023, the new headquarter of Ghana, the Rehoboth Cathedral, was built and finished.
