about
Ghana was originally a British colony. Since gaining independence, its increasingly prosperous economy and democratic political system have helped establish it as a regional power in West Africa. Ghana has a population of approximately 30 million people, representing a diverse range of ethnic, linguistic, and religious groups. Christians account for approximately 70% of the population.
In 2003, before joining the ROLCC family, Rev. Texford, now the senior pastor of ROLCC in Ghana, was visiting the Bay Area and came to ROLCC to attend a Sunday service. In early 2004, ROLCC sent a short-term mission team to Ghana to visit Rev. Texford and his church. They witnessed a church full of love. Although they did not have their own church building at the time and lacked many material resources, the congregation, including the pastor, co-workers, and members, worked together to build their church and spread the gospel. Therefore, in March 2004, ROLCC officially welcomed Rev. Texford’s church into the ROLCC family as a daughter church.
Since then, the church has continued to grow and expand its ministry throughout Ghana. Including its main worship center in the capital city of Accra, the church has planted branches throughout the country and established schools to serve people in need. They actively spread the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout Ghana and Africa, and through the training of workers and the testimonies of the congregation, they have continued to expand both the gospel and the church. Their vision has also extended beyond Ghana to neighboring countries. Since its inception, ROLCC Ghana has spearheaded the establishment of ROLCC churches in South Africa, Mozambique, Eswatini, and Liberia.
We praise God that in 2023, ROLCC Ghana completed its new headquarters, Rehoboth Cathedral. Thanks be to the Lord, our Ghana daughter churches are currently seeing a record-breaking total attendance of 2,100 people every Sunday—a truly encouraging milestone. May God continue to protect Ghana and bless its continued growth!

迦納原為英國殖民地。自獨立以來，日益繁榮的經濟與民主政治體制，使迦納逐漸成為西非地區的重要國家。迦納人口約有3,000萬，由不同的族群、語言及宗教群體所組成，其中基督徒約佔總人口的70%。
2003年，在加入生命河靈糧堂大家庭之前，現任迦納生命河靈糧堂主任牧師的 Texford 牧師於灣區訪問期間，來到生命河靈糧堂參加主日崇拜。2004年初，生命河靈糧堂差派一支短宣隊前往迦納，探訪 Texford 牧師及他的教會。短宣隊見證到這是一間充滿愛的教會。雖然當時他們還沒有自己的教堂，也缺乏許多物質資源，但牧師、同工及弟兄姊妹同心合意，一起建立教會並廣傳福音。因此，2004年3月，生命河靈糧堂正式接納 Texford 牧師的教會加入生命河靈糧堂大家庭，成為我們的分堂。
此後，教會持續成長，事工也不斷拓展至迦納各地。除了位於首都阿克拉（Accra）的主要崇拜中心之外，教會也在全國各地建立分堂，並設立學校來服事有需要的人。他們積極在迦納及非洲各地傳揚耶穌基督的福音，並透過培訓同工以及會眾的生命見證，使福音與教會持續拓展。他們的異象也從迦納延伸至鄰近國家。自成立以來，迦納生命河靈糧堂更積極推動並協助在南非、莫三比克、史瓦帝尼及賴比瑞亞建立生命河靈糧堂。
我們讚美神，2023年迦納生命河靈糧堂完成了新的總部——利河伯大教堂（Rehoboth Cathedral）。感謝主，目前迦納各分堂每週主日崇拜的總聚會人數已創下新高，達到2,100人，這實在是一個令人振奮的里程碑。願神繼續保守迦納，並賜福教會不斷成長！
