Ghana

In 1994, the World Missions Department received a report that refugees from the civil war in Liberia had immigrated to Ghana and formed a growing Advent Christian work there. By February of 1995, Ghana was endorsed as an Advent Christian mission field by the Executive Council.

Liberian pastor Rev. Amos Gbaa initially led the work in Ghana, where some churches were formed in refugee camps and others were started in the surrounding countryside. The work grew under Rev. Gbaa. When he immigrated to the United States to attend school, he planted an Advent Christian church among Liberian and other international immigrants in Providence, Rhode Island.

Another Liberian, Pastor Andrew Wreh, succeeded Rev. Gbaa among the Liberian refugees and native Ghanaians as head of the Ghana Conference. As the Ghana churches grew, their Conference leadership began to shift from Liberian to Ghanaian. Other leaders since that time have been Pastor Samuel Moore, Pastor Newman Djikomale and, currently, Pastor Simon Bissah.
