Last September, Geoff King and Clive Bullock visited Ghana at the invitation of Enoch Nketiah, pastor of Global Baptist Church, Kumasi, a church affiliated to the Ghana Baptist Convention.

Geoff and Clive were asked to teach on the attributes of God during the second week of the church's annual Bible Convention/ Pastors' Conference. They were also able to explore the possibility of establishing a continuing link between Global Baptist and Radcliffe Road Baptist Church, Bury, where Geoff is the pastor.

Recent background

Do you remember the early 1980s? Mrs. Thatcher and the boom years, the 'economic miracle'? It wasn't quite like that in Ghana. The disastrous economic conditions of the early 1980s remain a painful memory for many ordinary Ghanaians. People told us about the severe food shortages of 1983, and the very real concerns that the economy was on the brink of collapse. In their distress, many people turned to the Lord and evangelical churches in the south of the country experienced remarkable growth.
